hybridized,
 
Why don't you buy your passenger a $100 portable DVD player with a cigarette lighter adapter, so there's no need to screw up the great Accord dashboard with integrated everything? Sorry, but I no longer have a link to the outfit that used to market a hack for the OEM system.
 
If Stern is your only reason to pass up a great car, you may want to re-examine your priorities.
 
You've complained that Honda forces you to use XM Radio to the exclusion of the Dog. Have you tried to buy an XM-equipped Ford, Chrysler or BMW lately? "Not available, we only equip ours with the Dog."
 
You won't see Alpine's name on the Honda Navigation unit for the same reason that you won't see the manufacturer's name on any factory-installed radio or navigation unit in any other brand of car. Labeling is just not done. Who makes the seats? Who makes the brakes? Etc.

Blane, I REALLY don't like being forced into things I don't want. I guess my feeling is that, for $30k, I should be able to get a radio that plays what I want!
 
For $80k you can get a Maserati with absolutely EVERYTHING precisely like you want it. Custom color, leather, wood etc. I don't think I'm being too unreasonable, by wanting my $30k Honda to accept a Sirius modification...
 
My post here is searching for somebody who has the same wants, and has figured a way to make it happen. Are you the only one that replies to posts on this board? Do you think I'll get a more accomodating reply from another member?
 
Thanks for you help, such as it was...

rockohead,
 
You replied to a four-month-old post. That poster hasn't posted anywhere in these forums since last August and will probably never read your message.

It's the latest trend. I'm planning on replying to blane sometime around March of 2006...

Go buy a used Yugo and then your HAH will not only be the second worse purchase in your entire life!.
 
Seriously, what problems are you having. Thinking a HAH is a lemon is not normal. Problems can be resolved and Hondas are good automobiles.

Not impressed what so ever with this $31000 cars stereo. It must be a Japanese thing because my 04 Regal which cost the same amount had a really nice stereo. These speaker vibrate so I've been thinking of buying new, just not sure what.
