#520 of 539 Re: Using iPod in 2007 Honda Accord with Navigation [srizvi1] by tallman1 Feb 02, 2009 (3:08 pm)
Replying to: srizvi1 (Feb 02, 2009 2:45 pm) According to the DICE website, text only works if you disconnect XM. You can have both XM and use DICE but if you do, you won't get text with the DICE unit.   DICE Electronics Click on the "Support" tab for more info.

Replying to: tallman1 (Feb 02, 2009 3:08 pm) Thanks for the feedback tallman1. I was interested in maybe getting this done soon. Any thoughts on what's better? The Dice route or the USA Spec route? Replies to this message: tallman1 (Mar 13, 2009 1:30 pm)

Replying to: srizvi1 (Mar 13, 2009 11:59 am) I don't have a clue. Most things I've heard around here are positive with the USA Spec. I don't think anyone has posted about Dice until you brought it up. I guess it depends on what features you need or don't mind losing. Good luck!
#523 of 539 mp3 CD's Skipping... by glubash Apr 17, 2009 (7:14 am)
Hello all! I just purchased my first Honda, a 2009 Accord. It came with a 6-disc changer that plays mp3's and WMA files from a CD. I tired this feature out last night sitting in my garage and found that some of the songs skipped quite a bit during playback. I thought that it might be the CD burner so I did another disc this morning (same mp3's) with a different CD burner. What I found was that the songs that were skipping from disc1 played fine from disc2 but others that played properly from disc1 were skipping on disc2.   The media that I'm using is Memorex brand 52x speed 700MB CD's. The discs are a few years old but clean with no scratches. I burned both CD's at 24x speed.   Has anyone else run into this problem? I think that my next step is to try some different media and see if that helps.   Thanks, Glubash

Lucky - my 2007 Accord won't play them at all, unlike the $10 portable cd player I bought at about the same time. Kinda silly how backwards car audio can be sometimes.   Might try the same disc in a different player as well.
#525 of 539 Honda factory radio incompatible with IPod adapter? by julsomm Jun 12, 2009 (4:14 pm)
I recently tried to get an IPod adapter installed in my 2007 Honda Accord LX and was informed that the factory radio is such a low-quality that there is no adapter for it. I was further informed that my only alternative would be to have a second stereo installed since replacing my factory installed radio cannot be removed as it is interconnected with my AC system. Can this be true? Replies to this message: osika (Jun 12, 2009 4:25 pm) srizvi1 (Jun 16, 2009 10:17 am) rsandoval (Jun 12, 2009 5:05 pm)

Replying to: julsomm (Jun 12, 2009 4:14 pm) No, it's not true. You can have a box installed behind the dash that connects to your stereo. It will then connect to your ipod via the ipod port and can even be controlled by the steering wheel controls. This may not be the right one, but it's through this company.

Replying to: julsomm (Jun 12, 2009 4:14 pm) I recently replaced the factory door and rear deck speakers on my '07 Accord EX coupe at a local stereo shop that I trust because of past experience. When I remarked to the installer how cheaply made the factory speakers were, he replied that the in-dash 6 disk changer-receiver was even worse. I haven't had any problems with the changer and it sounds much better now through the JL Audio's. The fm radio, as I reported here before, can't hold onto a signal to save its life. I was shown an IPod adapter for $200; its looks remarkably similar to the one on Amazon.   My other vehilce is a 99 Tacoma Prerunner; about a year ago the same shop installed an Alpine 9884 CD receiver that's Ipod ready (on sale for $160): IPod sound great as does the fm radio.   This Honda factory stereo convices me everyday that it wants to be replaced. So be it.
#528 of 539 2008 Accord EX-L radio quality poor by davros Jun 14, 2009 (12:48 am)
Has anyone noticed the poor AM/FM/XM sound quality in their '08 Accord? If so, have you complained and had the radio replaced?   The CD player in the radio has very good sound, but the radio quality is very poor and sounds tinny ( lacking depth or substance, thin in tone ).

Replying to: davros (Jun 14, 2009 12:48 am) I will say that when I replaced the speakers in my 06 Accord, they were this blue plastic coned speakers. If they are still making the systems this way, you will know why they are not the best. The CD's will sound good, but that is the one thing Honda has struggled with is their sound systems. Atleast put decent factory speakers in with their new head units. As far as the quality of the FM/AM/XM, I am not sure, perhaps the head unit is cheap?   You'll know the speakers are cheap when you look in the trunk and see the speakers magnets, they are very small!   By the way, if you upgrade speakers, it would be highly advised to use a high quality amp!
