I received this from Honda regarding the radio display. It may or may not cover your particular problem. My display has not gone out yet.

Another question. How often do you replace the Air and Micro (cabin) filters? I'd like to DIY if possible?
 
The Honda air filter costs $33 and the micro (cabin) air filter costs $70 !!!
 
Where's the cabin air filter? In glove box? The instruction manual does not show how to replace these filter in the Maintenance section. Wierd.
 
Thanks.

I think the A/C filter is scheduled to be replaced at 30k miles, but it depends a lot on how dirty the air is. It's very easy to check it out (no tools required). hope this helps

Hmmm? Are you the original owner? At the same address?

Too funny... I had bookmarked Elroy's last post of changing the cabin filter and came up to print it off and saw this post and his reposting of the directions. Honda no longer includes it in the manual.
 
BTW, I didn't pay anything close to $70! H&A sells one for $15.95 (although it doesn't appear to be a Honda part). Use this link and then scroll down: Micron Air brand Pollen Filters
 
My local Honda dealer sells the Honda part for $25.26 and I had a 15% off coupon.
 
There are many other places online where you can get genuine Honda parts for far less than the prices you are being quoted.

Okay, that was easy.
 
Here are a couple of tips:
 
I had to squeeze the sides of the glove box slightly after disengaging the stop and then pull it down.
 
Also, the Micron Air brand that H&A carries appears to be the official Honda part. Both the replacement filter and the original had that name on the side.
 
Thanks for posting (and reposting) the directions, Elroy.

Yes, tallman1. I buy all my maintenance items from HandA. It's a lot cheaper than the dealer, especially when you buy a 6pack of filters. I wonder if the original A/C filters are Honda parts, or if they get them from another company, because the one's from HandA look exactly like the original filters. I just received a shipment from HandA for wiper refills, brake fluid, A/C and engine air filters, and couple other accessories. Wish I could get the brake pads from HandA too. Maybe I'll get the pads from Majestic Honda's site. Have you ever tried them?

At my local Wal-Mart store, if you buy an air filter from them (not cabin filter) they'll install it for you. A filter shouldn't be more than $10-$12. I bought an STP filter for my grandmother's 2002 Accord at AutoZone for $8.75 or so.

Elroy, by now you've seen my last post that said that Micron Air seems to be the official brand.
 
I've never ordered anything from Majestic but I've visited their site. Oddly enough, I couldn't find the cabin filters there when I took a quick look the other day. I'm guessing that you have to search by the larger component rather than the individual part.
 
H&A is great and I've seen a number of posts that recommend Bernardi but I've never used them either.
 
I'm thinking about using Honda wiper refills instead of the Anco or Trico. Have you noticed a difference?
