You managed to link to an old post in the problems and solutions thread. Sorting through the FAQ thread is much easier (only 17 postings, so far).
How does it hold up ??
Will it yellow??
What did it cost??

I was told that it's in the owner's manual. :confuse:
1. Is there any way to increase the fuel tank capacity - if yes, how ?
2. 3rd row seats are an option in some asian markets, even though kinda tight. I came across littlepassengerseats.com - has anyone done this or has any advise?
any suggestions is appreciated.

Do you already have a hitch?
2. Never heard of that company. FWIW, they advertise that their products meet all federal guidelines. But you should know that those guidelines are something of a minimum requirement. The seats in many production vehicles are more than 2 times more resistant to collapse than the requirements. There's not a whole lot of space between the rear of the vehicle and a third row of seats. So, again, safety would be a concern for me.
BTW, the 3 row CR-Vs that were offered in parts of Asia were produced mostly so that Honda could take advantage of a loophole in the local tax laws. It allowed them to classify the CR-V in the same category as vehicles like the Suburban.
All in all, it sounds like you're trying to turn a CR-V into an Highlander or Pilot. I'd recommend just getting the larger vehicle.
Tweeters are already in the car from the factory!!! Hopefully the dealer did not charge you for those. The sub can be had for a little over $200 from the internet parts dealers.
You would have to get an iPOD adaptor specifically made for the 2005 Honda, the previous years won't work with 2005. Then you can control and charge iPOD from the radio and the radio display will read the tags.
Thanks
I have installed it on the 2001, and it is an involved process. If the panels are the same, I don't see why it would not work. Call the dealers that you will be buying it from and ask. Most likeley they will tell you that it can be installed, but the colors won't match. I think the 1997-1998 were a different shade of gray, and may have had two tone dash, while 1999-2001 were darker gray and had monotone dash.
For the 1997-1998 models, Honda sold a non-retractable cargo cover. It was simply a shade which could be put in place then folded out of the way. The cover did not roll up the way you would expect. Not sure if they even marketed it here in North America.
I would definitely try it before you buy it.
I wish they had a 30 return policy.
I am in Albany NY and its cold in winter. Does anyone know of any reputable car shops I could do it around Albany? Or are there any kits I can buy on the Internet to give a car shop to install?
You can roll down the window a little even if it is raining, to get some fresh air.
I also think they look nice.
I was not aware of the back up sensor system having a beeper as well, but you can just look under the rear bumper, find the back up alarm speaker and clip the wires to it, I think.

Are your windows fogging up? I noticed with all the Hondas I had that they are more prone to fogging than other cars. On a days when it is humid or raining and I have more than myself in the car, I have to have the defogger (with a/c) on, or windshield is not clear.

You can buy one at BJ's and install it your self. It comes with instructional video. I had the remote starter in Gen 1 CR-V. I specifically told the installer that I did not want him to clip wires, but rather use wiring harness adaptors. couple of months later I had to look under the dash for something, and what did I see? He clipped the wires to install the starter.
There is a guy on ebay that sells alarms and remote starters with wiring harness adaptors, so it is just "plug and play" installation. I like that, rather having some high school drop out clipping my OEM wiring harness. The one he is selling is the pager kind, once the car is started the LCD on the remote shows that it is running and if the alrm is triggered the pager informs you. The cost is basically the same as if you had a cheap system installed by a local shop ($250)
I had a Prestige (by Audiovox) it worked fine in the summer and some of winter, but on the coldest of the days, it would not even try to start the car. The remote keyless entry and alarm worked, but the remote starter would not work when it was bellow 0°F. Then the car was stolen while visitng family in NYC, so I never found out what was wrong with it.
I've never cared for the look of the window visors.
When I saw these posts I called the sales manager and inquired about this problem. He told me he has not heard of any complaints and has been driving a Pilot with the rear sensor and did not find it too loud or annoying.
This is a big Boston area Honda dealership so if there were problems, they should have heard them.
I will let you all know tomorrow night.
I guess I will find out tomorrow night.
Any idea where I can start shopping on the Internet? Any idea how much someone charges to put the tires from my steel rims onto alloy rims? The Honda dealer quoted me $900 MSRP for a set of OEM wheels which I thought was overpriced when I purchased my CR-V three weeks back.
joey
I solved this problem by going to The Tire Rack (online www.tirerack.com ) and ordering 4 (wish now I had ordered 5) of their JS1 wheels.
About a year and a half ago - they were $99 each, shipping was about $10 each, I think they look good. (I just checked, price still $99 each). Took about 6 weeks to fill the order as they were back-ordered.
I use Walmart tires and services, they swapped my original wheels to the new ones for about $4 each.
This was on my daughters 98 CR-V.
Based on these posts I advised my dealer. Also, in another forum I was told the Honda tech put the speaker in bubble wrap to lessen the noise.
I told my salesman about this and their tech said he would take care of it.
I do not know exactly what he did, but the sound is not loud and annoying.
Also, my Pewter-Pearl CRV with chrome running boards, fender flares etc. looks BEAUTIFUL!!!
re:
I have noticed the label "Aux" stenciled above the CD/XM button on the radio of the 2005 CR-V SE I am considering. Can anyone tell me what that it for? Is it possible that I might be able to use "Aux" to connect my iPod to the CR-V radio?

Are there any written up directions for these things anywhere? Pictures are best ofcourse. I think they should come with some.
I also just bought the weathertech cargo liner to also help keep items in place in back, but its on back order.
On many cars, they just get in the way, or get your pants dirty.... I had step bars on my Pathfinder, which is a lot bigger step up than my CR-V, and never used them once...
Technique? See if she can reach the grab bar above the door.. If she is strong enough, this can give her a lot of stability when entering or leaving the CR-V.

Yeah, it comes with a smart chip. The car cannot be hot wired, in the traditional sense; the computer itself must receive the code in order for the engine to run. You can connect the wires all you want, but the engine will not run. That is pretty good protection.
Of course, someone with Honda dealer style equipment could tow the CR-V away and reprogram the keys, but that is not something that can be done on location, as far as I know.
