2004 Odyssey CD Errors by fanofhonda
Jul 06, 2009 (7:23 am)
Reply
I have a 2004 Odyssey. The CD player is giving me an error E00 and the CD does not play. The radio works fine. The dealer is not interested in helping me work this out as I believe it may just be a re-programming issue with the code. Can someone please help? Does anyone out there know of similar problem? I searched the forum and could not find responses specific to this error E00. Thanks in advance for your suggestions, ideas and advise.

$10 Video screen solution! by seanlee36

Okay, I didn't mention that you need a Sony PSP first, but if you have one, I think this might be a good solution. The PSP is not just a gaming portable, but is very easy to rip video (as well as photo slideshows, music) to.. when I travel I use it to watch movies and my kids watch their teletubbies etc.
 
I just bought an 09 Oddyssey EX-L, but refrained from the res/nav package, thinking I
d get a aftermarket system. I still might do so, but am going to try the Griffin Roaddock for PSP, essentially a custom strap that holds the PSP securely and wraps around any car-seat headrest. Got good reviews but was discontinued, but can be found on ebay for $10 shipped!
 
Cons are that it only works for regular PSPs, not the new slim models. Does not have any kind of solution for taking the audio into the deck, or powering the unit. However, the audio from the PSP speaker should be enough for my kids to hear without bothering me, and I can use a standard audio cable to connect to the aux input if I really want to use the Oddy speakers. PSP battery life is great at over 5 hours, but if I need to I can just use a car adapter for the psp.
 
Screen size is only 4.3" vs 7-10 on most car systems... but this design is closer to your eyes, and quality is pretty good.
 
I already have a Magellan GPS I have gotten used to, and a Motorola bluetooth headset which sounds better than any in-car system my friends have, so while I would love the Kenwood systems, and the Pioneer rear-DVD system, I now have almost all the functionality that these would provide for $10 more!
 
Anyone else tried something like this, or have any comments? I'll report in a few weeks how this is working for me... one thing I will mention is that I only plan on letting me kids watch stuff on longer road-trips, not daily quick drives.. so don't mind the additional set-up each time.

DVD Player won't shutoff! by pkhonda1

Stupid question, but I am at my wits end...we have recently bought a 2004 Odyssey EX w/drop down DVD player. The unit seems to have a mind of it's own, in terms of turning itself on, whenever it pleases. Actually, I don't know if the player per se is on, but the unit whirs to life, with a loud fan noise. Incredibly irritating (and loud), and we can not get it to turn off. Does not always do this, but probably about 3/4's of the time we start the vehicle, this happens.
 
Any thoughts? There does not seem to be an "off" button on the player, and I believe the unit is a factory item.
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this thing is driving us crazy, and I'm about to search for the fuse...
 
THANKS.

2009 Honda Odyssey- Bluetooth by rockyt

Hi:
 
I am wondering if Bluetooth can be added to the odyssey if not included on a model purchased off the lot? Looking at the EX-L with DVD RES but NOT Navi, but still want the Bluetooth. Can this be added? thanks

Hello,
    
   I had the same problem and I came across a Honda Dealer (Gillman Honda Southwest) in Houston Texas. They had several packages to offer, for integrated Bluetooth hands-free. I do not really like aftermarket products, So they suggested a product for my van. The cool thing about this product is that it is fully integrated and no aftermarket. We get to use our steering wheel controls and I am able to see missed calls, incoming calls, dialed calls and voice dialing with music streaming from my i Pod through my 2009 Honda factory radio. The quality is very good and the price is very reasonable with installation. I called the guys at bftsync.com and they were able to help me. I am going to order one for my sister in New York.

Difference between DVD Res and Res? by str75218

Am currently shopping for Odyssey EX-L w/ Res and have noticed Dealer inventory listings (at same dealership site) some vehicles with EX-L w/ DVD Res and some only with EX-L w/ Res. I've found this at more than one dealership sites. Is there a difference? Thanks all.

Assuming it's a Honda rear entertainment system, it's official designation is RES. Most dealers probably think that's a bit vague to the uninformed so they included the DVD part in the listing. Makes sense to me.

Answering the phone with Bluetooth by southhonda

I have a 2009 odyssey with handsfree Bluetooth, which is v nice. However, the ring through the speakers and the "beep-bop" noise it makes when you hit the hangup button on the steering wheel is loud enough at just average radio volume to knock the fillings loose in your teeth. Anyone know how to reduce the volume (or relative volume since the radio volume will also turn down the handsfree volume). I guess, is there a setting within the radio/navi instrument console for Bluetooth volume? Any help is much appreciated.

Had a similar probelm with my accord, and it needs the security code reprogrammed. It should be a 5 digit # posted on a sticker inside the glovebox or on a credit card size piece of paper in the manual. Better get it entered right, however in tthe 1st 3 trys as it locks after that and you then need to go back to Honda.
