#2106 of 2165 outside temperature gauge by jmr237 Mar 31, 2007 (3:22 pm)
Does anyone have experience installing the outside temperature gauge in a 2006 or 2007 Accord?   Based on what I've read, it doesn't require too much mechanical know how, but I am reluctant to start taking apart my new 07 Accord SE unless I know I can do the job.

Replying to: yatingg (Mar 28, 2007 11:20 am) If I understand correctly, you want to play CDs that have mp3s encoded on them. You're out of luck with that.   What the Honda service is referencing to is music-link, which allows you to connect an MP3 device to your sound system. If you have in Apple IPOD specifically, it does allow you to use the steering wheel controls to go between songs, but I don't think it shows a whole lot of information on the screen. All other MP3 units require that you control the music from the MP3 device itself. I think it's crazy in this day and age that Accord doesn't at least offer an MP3 input on their stereo. I don't think you can even find an aftermarket unit that doesn't have an MP3 input.

Just finished installing the outside temp gauge. What a pain. Very straightforward, but lots of awkward reaching in very hard to get to places. My arms are covered with scratches.   Works great though - seemlessly integrated into the odo, just like the EX-L etc. Also it is nice to be able to fine tune it + or - 5 degrees.   While I still have the lower dash panel off I think I am going to run my scan gauge so it installs in the large cubby below the radio.   I noticed that it says you cannot install the fog lights and the temp gauge at the same time, but it seems to me like the two places where there was a connection there was a note in the instructions that mentioned the ports could be shared (and may already be depending on your model of vehicle) Anybody try to install both.   I suppose one way to do it is to bypass the controller that coordinates the lights with the fogs. Just run power to the fogs and install the switch. I don't want aftermarket though - I prefer to have them fit right in the bumper. Replies to this message: elroy5 (Apr 13, 2007 7:27 am)

Replying to: dudleyr (Apr 13, 2007 6:25 am) My car came with the temp gauge (EX), and it just seems like useless information to me. Don't see the need to know the exact temperature outside the car. With the choice of temperature or fog lights, I would have gone with fog lights. To each his own, I guess.

Up in the high plains the weather is extremely unpredictable (no ocean nearby to steady things). We can literally be 90 one day and below freezing the next. The temp also varies from place to place. It is extremely usefull to know when there is a chance the road could be icing over.   With all the wind we have and dry air we get fog a couple of times a year. I have fog lights on my Integra and found that they are a very small improvement over low beams. So for me a marginal gain twice a year is not very usefull.   On top of that the temp is there every minute I am in the car vs maybe an hour a year for the fogs. Now if I lived in San Fransisco things might be different.   I can still put non OE fogs on, and am 90% sure the OE will work if modded slightly, so I can still change my mind.   I have one more question. Has anybody tried amber LED turn signals under the red lenses? How does it look - is it bright enough, I guess the color is orangish. I am not a fan of turn signals that don't differentiate themselves from brake lights.

Replying to: ral2167 (Apr 21, 2007 3:17 pm) I don't think the Accord stereo will play an MP3 or WMA cd. I think the 06 and 07 Civic can play music files, however. Check Honda's web site for specs on the OEM audio systems.
#2113 of 2165 Cargo Net & Trunk Tray? by wdoran Apr 23, 2007 (8:37 am)
I just purchased a 2007 Accord 4 dr LX. Dealer included Trunk tray in Deal. I want to ad a cargo net but heard can't be used with trunk tray. Anyone know if this is true? Replies to this message: tallman1 (Apr 23, 2007 10:27 am)
#2114 of 2165 Re: Cargo Net & Trunk Tray? [wdoran] by tallman1 Apr 23, 2007 (10:27 am)
Replying to: wdoran (Apr 23, 2007 8:37 am) Yes, that is true. The cargo net installation involves drilling holes in the trunk panels. Not sure if you could line up the trunk tray and do a little drilling there too.   You can see the install instructions for each here: H&A Accessories
#2115 of 2165 Accessories/ Fog Lights by toki2 Apr 23, 2007 (7:02 pm)
