Can anyone comment on installing the wiring and/or the tranny cooler? how much can I expect to pay for this?

I am not sure if the stock alarm has a glass breakage sensor though.
They already lied to you about the EX not having an alarm based upon your post in the Ody forum.
We're looking at an 04 Odyssey EX and wondering if the center flip-up tray can be removed. Would like to add a better console. Has anyone done this?
Thanks
right from the hinge that it's attached to
at least you can on an '02 oddy
I think it's the same on the '04
Anyone had this installed?
know how much it costs and if it's worth it.
I really wish I had a reading of the outside temperature - can't understand why the '02 didn't include this simple common feature.
thanks
The OEM mirror is made by Donnelly and it is a pretty easy install.
It took me about 45 minutes to install myself. The mirror costs about $185.
Contact rtamirrors@triton.net if interested.
Do a search on Honda Odyssey Donnelly mirror installation. I would post the link to the forum with the instruction but guess that is not allowed as my earlier post was deleted.
1. Grab the base of the old mirror and twist clockwise. You now should be able to slide it off the base. Slide the new Donnelly mirror on the base and twist to lock.
2. Run the temperature thru the firewall and into the engine bay. The sensor should be mounted in the lower part of the grill next to the left foglight hole. If you open the hood you can see the solid rubber gasket close to the brake fluid tank. You will need to make a slit in the gasket to push the wire through. The wire should come out on the inside close to you gas pedal.
3. You will need to pull the molding off on the left windshild side and run you cords under the molding and under the edge of the headliner.
4. You will need to tap a wire or find a blank in the fuse box for power.
5. There are detailed instructions and pictures on another odyssey forum but I am not allowed to post the link here.
You can send me an e-mail and I will send you the link or you can do a Google search on Honda Odyssey Donnelly Mirror install and you should be able to find the instructions and pictures.
But then again, after spending 25K, an extra $60 bucks isn't going to matter.
I made my email public, just in case you'd rather respond directly, as opposed to this public forum.
Try American Sunroof Company site.Back in 1975 I had one installed in a new Volvo.( It was electric; all Volvo had at the time were manual windbacks.)
They also install original type leather seats.
Don't know what the prices are. My guess is that they have dealerships throughout the U.S.

What's your email, and where did you get the mirror? Is Donnelly better than Gentex's?
Thanks.

I cannot get your e-mail address in your profile. Please check my profile and send me the link you mention to my e-mail. I would appreciate it.
Thanks!
My local Honda mechanic said pulling a 1,700 lb tent trailer would not require the tranny cooler.
with that said, the car pulled the trailer, family, including dog and gear up to the Sierras better than my V8 truck and I still got over 20 MPG. Incredible performance with the 240 horse power engine that Honda has designed.
They seem like a good idea but would like commentsif possible.
I was in a parking lot yesterday and someone's SUV was actually talking to the driver as he backed up it was giving a danger warning - funny to hear but I imagine annoying after a while. Thanks for any replies.
Don't take this the wrong way but did you really expect a definitive answer if a part designed for another brand/model would fit in your car? I realize it's Honda/Acura but there are differences in the designs. The only way to find out is to experiment on your own.
Now I need to buy all-season floor mats and cargo tray. It is available with many dealers. But the available color is BLACK. My Odyssey has GRAY interior.
All the pictures online show a nice GRAY color. Should I wait for a GRAY? Or does Honda only may BLACK mats????!?!?!!

Any thoughts? Thank you.
Does anyone know how to get an aftermarket RES system to work with the Radios AUX input of the 2005 Odyssey EX? I am in the process of getting one installed and really do not want to use an FM Modulator.
Thanks in Advance.
Yes Lund does suggest drilling ones under the hood to screw/secure the deflector but I believe that by wedging the inserts between the rubber gasket and the hood itself may be tight enough.
Good Luck with your choice!
However I wish that there was an Auto door lock feature when you accelerate from stop like there is in the Windstar and other vehicles.
Is there such an aftermarket kit available?
Why did Honda not offer this feature in the first place?
Are there any issues (safety or otherwise) that must be overcome?
Comments and suggestions are welcome.

I am wondering if I should shop around and get a better brand/quality sub.
Any words of wisdom?
I would almost always recommend going with a third party i.e. a car sound dealer/installer. You'll pay alot less and likely wind up with something that is comprible or better.
I have a new O5 EX and would like to buy OEM mud guards and install them myself to save a few $.
Is it easy to do? Just a bolt or two on each, or more involved?
Thanks.

Are the wheel locks for a 2005 Ody EX the same as the ones for a 2004 Ody EX? Thanks.
According to Honda, the towing package for the 05 Ody is now available; it became available as of December 1. However it may be another week or two before dealerships have them in stock. Several of the dealerships I visited had the tow package (hitch, harness, and coolers) on their accessories price lists back in early November.
You are correct, the tow package is not showing up on the Honda.com site.
I also installed a genuine Honda leather steering wheel cover as well. This is worth the $42 cost from some web sites and was relatively easy to install as well. The steering wheel becomes much more substantial and made the Ody much more enjoyable and comfortable to drive.
If you go to www.handa-accessories.com, and compare the prices for the wheel locks for the 2004 vs the 2005, the price is $29 vs $58 which seems to imply that they are different.
Why are the 2004 cheaper? Because there are many more 2004 to 1999 models out there. The 2005 is new and over time as volume increases, price will drop.
Can the 3rd row seats fold into the cargo area with only the boards removed without removing the whole right and left assembly to which the boards attach?
Is it worth the cost?
Thanks for your input.
