#500 of 541 Re: Change radio/tape player to a radio/CD player [bill208] by bill208 Oct 28, 2008 (3:19 am)
Replying to: bill208 (Oct 27, 2008 11:21 am) Tankbeans,   Thanks. I think I'll go your suggested route with an aftermarket product. Honda service is such a ripoff there really is no other way to go. I appreciate your reply. Replies to this message: tankbeans (Oct 28, 2008 12:34 pm)

Replying to: bill208 (Oct 28, 2008 3:19 am) No problem. I hate factory decks anyway. I just know that it isn't worth the extra money to put another factory radio in. Certainly keep your original radio in case you ever want to sell your car. That should be easy enough to put back into your car as soon as you sell.   With mine I chose to have an aftermarket put in underneath the factory. Reason being the part to slip the aftermarket in would have been $160, but your deck looks pretty straightforward. They started integrating everything into the center console in 03.   Good luck.   For what it's worth the service at my dealer isn't bad, but I know that all dealers are different and you may have been misfortunate enough to get into a bad dealer.

#503 of 541 I want my radio back by fourthrock Oct 29, 2008 (4:58 am)
Does anyone know if there is a standard code for a Honda Accord ('05) to get the radio back after the car battery is changed? We used the device that is supposed to save all that info when we changed the batter but it obviously didn't work. My audio system won't even turn on without a code.   Thanks!

Replying to: fourthrock (Oct 29, 2008 4:58 am) You will have to go to your dealer and they will be able to get your code. They won't do this over the phone I don't think. They want to make sure that you haven't stolen it. Security. Replies to this message: srizvi1 (Nov 05, 2008 4:01 pm)
#505 of 541 Harman Kardan Drive & Play? by kcrossley Oct 30, 2008 (12:17 pm)
amazon.com has a ridiculous deal on the original Harmon Kardon Drive + Play. http://www.amazon.com/Harman-Kardon-DP-1US-Controller/dp/B000BT97UO/ref=pd_bbs_s- - - r_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1225397581&sr=8-1   Instead of hooking this up to my 2006 Accord EX with Navi using an FM Transmitter, I'd prefer a direct connection like an FM Modulator. Has anyone done this? Which brand works best?   Thanks, Kelly
#506 of 541 for ipod by stickguy Oct 31, 2008 (10:24 am)
get a USA spec integrated unit. I have one in my Odyssey and it workt great. Connects the ipod (and charges). You can use the radio buttons to skip songs too. Also has exrtra set of RCA jacks which I use for an XM roady.   Check Crutchfield to see what the unit is for the Accord.   There is an extra connector (a Y splitter) in case you have nav (or is it XM?), since the unit uses the aux input taken up by the XM

Replying to: tankbeans (Oct 29, 2008 11:02 am) tankbeans, I you can actually call Honda's Customer Care (1 800 999 1009) and they can help you. I JUST called them a few minutes ago to get the radio code and navigation code. this is the 2nd time I've called them to retrieve this info, the first time was back in December 2006. I did a long post on this here: http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1370390&uid=999509572&dir=1&postid=25320- 040#25320040   You can also login to ownerlink here: http://www.ahm-ownerlink.com/prod_home.asp  And from there, you can retrieve your codes if you put in the serial info (to figure out how to get the serial info, see the post I just linked in honda-tech.com). However, I should warn everyone, the radio code I got back from the online system was incorrect. The navi code worked (to put in the navi code you use the touch screen display), but the radio code would not (to put this in, you have to use the tuning knob - at least with the navi models that is). So that's why I called the Honda Customer Care number and after a few different attempts, she gave me a different 4 digit code which showed up on her screen (not on mine) and THAT was the code that worked.
#509 of 541 Re: using an iPod in both an '04 and '07 with Navi (and tape player in '04) by srizvi1 Nov 07, 2008 (12:53 pm)
Replying to: tankbeans (Sep 25, 2008 8:48 am) Thanks for the responses tankbeans and dolfan1. In my Accord, maybe I'll keep using the tape deck then. But in my wife's car, she's using the over the air thing and it definitely sounds like crap. I logged into my ownerslink after many months and saw a notice saying I could put the musiclink 2.0 in my wife's 2007 Accord Coupe with Nav, and my father's 2007 CR-V. Maybe that's something to consider for them? I know a lot of people are saying USA SPEC but I am not handy enough to install anything on my own, nor do I know anyone who would do it. The price for the musiclink is coming up at $214 for my wife's accord and I'm not sure if that includes installation or not. but if it does, I could just have honda install it for me and let it be a done deal. thoughts?
