If the text data has more than 14 characters, you will see the first 14 characters and the indicator in the display. Press and hold the TITLE button until the next 14 characters are shown. I've never tried holding the title button, just a quick push to cycle thru it's functions. I'll give it a try when I go out for lunch today and put to use what I've learned. As far as alternating, I've noticed that when a song first comes on from an XM source it does briefly display the artist then remains on the song title. If you switch to a CD it does display the name of the disc before it shows song titles. I try not to get to fixated on the display as I'm usually in considerable traffic. I listened to my first Red Sox game on XM recently and found it very convenient that the display shows innings-outs and other pertinent info that you are usually looking for when you first put a game on, but usually have to wait what seems forever for the announcers to get around to informing you.

Just got my 08 Accord EX-L 4 cyl Sedan a couple of weeks ago. Is there an easy way to turn the daytime running lights off? I haven't really messed around with anything yet but if somebody knows exactly what to do, I would greatly appreciate it!

According to my dealership's service manager, if you disable the daytime running lights then problems with the air bag may occur. I don't like them as well but I'm stuck with'em. I've already decided my next car will not be a Honda...too many morons making drastic changes that many of us don't want, need, or care to have.

As some prevoius posts have reported ... re: lights dimming -- I pulled my 08 (I4 EX-L) up to a large wall of a bldg at night and can clearly see the lights dim when the condenser kicks on. Furthermore the condenser cycle period is about 6-8 secs ON then OFF, ON etc... Has anyone been successfull at getting any information regarding this problem or whether this is actually considered a problem by Honda or normal ?

Replying to: rkirchoff (Jun 26, 2008 3:04 pm) Other than that, ALL cars are becoming more and more complex (not just Hondas). All cars will be required to have stability control soon, and systems to improve fuel economy are getting more complicated as well. If you want a simple car, I suggest a 60's model (would have said 70's models, but they started with the emissions controls).

Replying to: dwashco (Jun 26, 2008 3:05 pm) Many autoparts chains will do a free battery/alternator check, where they check it driving an electrical load. A visual inspection of the cables is usually the first step, but if everything checks out then you'll need to have a good mechanic check the resistance of the main power cables and ground, to pinpoint possible internal cable corrosion problems. You do this under load drawing a current, so you can see if there is any voltage drop (proving a resistance). Voltage = Current x Resistance.

| The headlight "flicker" problem appears to be happening on every 08 Accord I4 model. All the posts on this forum have indicated that dealers are saying it is normal. For me, its not a big deal. However, some have reported that the problem is sufficiently drastic that oncoming traffic might think they are flashing their lights. Mine is no where near that drastic and occurs only every 20 seconds or so . . . | |
