For example, location of power plugs and jack for mp3 player.
Where all the switches are located.
 
Thanks.

location of power plugs
 
I'm pretty sure the 2 outlets will the same as the previous generation. One is in the console and the other is located under a flip up lid. It would be under the iPod in this pic... or maybe they switched it to the left side so that it would be under the phone.
 
It kind of looks like the jacks may be in the center stack storage compartment. At least that's the impression I get from this pic.

Automatic Headlights? by bigmike2

Does it have them?
 
I remember when we looked at Accords a few years ago and decided to pass, the lack of automatic headlights was one negative. You figure a car with 200 cup holders could have automatic headlights. Even my 1999 Lumina does.

Thanks.
 
Just found an interesting shot here http://automobiles.honda.com/2008-accord/
 
If you click on the photos link and scroll through, it looks like they have an ipod in the center compartment. This makes perfect sense to me. If the jack is built-in, why not put it where it will be easy to hide the player?
 
Just remember: Ipod not included.

I have automatic headlights on my 06 EX-L.
 
Looks like the 08 will have auto-off on all trimlines and auto-on/off on the EX-L

I would like to know if they are having similar equipment on the 4 and 6 cylinder EX-L

Interior information can be found in this news release:
 
http://www.hondanews.com/categories/812/releases/4107
 
It states:
 
Auxiliary Input Jack
For the first time, the 2008 Accord comes with an auxiliary input jack (aux-in) that allows the easy connection of personal audio players to the audio system. The aux-in jack is conveniently located in the center console, along with a 12-volt power point that can charge the personal audio player. Plugging a portable audio device into the aux-in jack automatically sets the volume at a preset level; when the device is unplugged, the volume resets to its previous level.

Thanks for info about the audio. Sounds very nice.
 
Glad I didn't pull the trigger on a Toyota week before last. Am pressed to replace an old car that died and almost did, but decided to wait for this release. I do hate to pay retail, but if this drives as nice as it looks, might do it.

The 2007 and previous Accords do not offer automatic headlights, just a "delay-off" sort of feature (my 06 has this as well). They have a feature that turns them off if you leave them on, after leaving and locking the vehicle. They do not have a dusk sensor like most GM vehicles that turns them on automatically, however.
 
Here is what Honda calls it for the 2007 EXL V6
 
"Multi-Reflector Halogen Headlights with Auto-off"
 
Honda does not currently offer the GM-esque Automatic ON/OFF headlights on the Accord for 2007, that would operate with a switch like this
