This is not a problem. Perhaps you would like the ride of the Camry more?
The coupe is a bit more stiff, that is what I loved about Honda, is that it felt solid in its ways. If you are truly unhappy, wait awhile and you'll be able to get out with minimal pain. You can't do that with most other brands.
I'm confused. You want something easier than clicking the door unlock button twice? Like a separate "all doors unlock" button? :confuse:
I must be getting old... it doesn't seem THAT long ago that you had to open the driver's door with a key and then lean over to unlock the passenger door or reach behind the seat to pull up the lock button to open the rear door.
Perhaps voice recognition for doors opening isn't too far off. :shades:
But, many units elsewhere may do the same thing, but not sure if this is cheaper, better than the rest.
For the same money, I bought a Mio C320 with 4.3" screen, MP3 player (which I don't use), and car mounting kit included for $179 on sale at RS. I suspect the Mio has more up-to-date maps and I easily hacked it to get text-to-speech. I did have to buy a carry case for an additional 20 bucks or so (a zippered case is included with the Honda unit).
Alternatively, you can usually find a low-end Garmin for the same money and they're generally considered to be the best there is.
I also protector film form Lamin-X to put on the lens. Don't know if it will help, but it was only $15, so it thought it was worth a try
I am referring to a software/hardware product that enabled you to control your Ipod thru the audio system. It couldn't keep up with the updates to Itunes, but it seems that other competing products, such as Microsoft's Sync, do just fine.
I was really disppointed that Honda would offer such a lame product.Those who have experience with it know what I mean.
Though not advertised, but I have heard many put a memory card in their navigation units, which is located in the trunk. You would have to get the right card and adapter for it to slide in there, but have heard they put mp3's on this card using the computer and then put the card in their navi unit, then they are able to play mp3's right on the nav screen. I would assume the 08 accord has nothing changed, because even the 07 CR-V had this. As long as you have the navi, you can do this. I have asked a few dealers, and they have said the same thing, but it is not something honda has advertised.
You just have to get the right card, big enough space on the card. Now how it navigates on the screen, I am not sure. But look it up online. This would be worth the money for the memory card to get this little feature. That alone would make me want to get the navi. I would get a big memory card, and I would have endless music.
Has any successfully played an MP3 disc in their stereo in a 2008 LX Accord?
Has anyone had success with theirs? How did you burn your disc?
Thanks.
Thanks.
I burned disc's last night with Nero. Single Session, Finalized Discs, no Joliet, ISO 9XXX (don't remember the numbers), Mode 2...
These Discs work!
I am going to go back to iTunes and see if I can figure out how to set it up to work. Also I will go back on my Windows Vista machine and see if it works. Haven't burned one from my Mac yet, I will do that as well.
Thanks.
So, the only thing I know for certain is that my new Dell machine running Vista with a Combo-drive can not burn a CD that works in my Accord. Those discs did work in a friends stereo in his old Chevy truck.
So, for me I guess I burn MP3 discs with my Windows 2000 box using Nero or my Mac using iTunes.
Thanks for everyone's replies.
That is not true. I have a 'newer' Dell (6600 Quadcore 2.4 Ghz) running Vista and I used the combo drive to burn a MP3 CD. It works. I have a 08 EX-L coupe though.
I think when you use Roxio or Nero, make sure you choose the burn audio CD option. I tried to just copy MP3 files on a CD with Roxio, it didn't work. Then I chose the 'burn audio CD' option, it works with both Roxio and Nero.
Try and see if it works.
You mention choosing the "audio CD" option. That is something completely different than an MP3 CD. "Audio CD" burned on the DELL running Vista with the Combo drive work just fine.
Thanks.
I am contemplating getting atleast a bumper and hood clear bra for the winter, I certainly don't want to overpay on this, and don't want a cheap product either.
and the difference in the final price 500dollars wherein i am landing up paying just 500dollars more for ex
and i am getting deal for lxp with leather thru dealer and ex without leather,so the difference in final out of the door price is 500dollars
can anyone provide me with suggestions which one is better to go and i am also getting 1.9%interest rate for both of them
will be happy to know the reasoning behind your suggestions which can help me in decision making
Easy choice: the LX-P's dealer installed leather interior won't be up to factory standard. Get the EX.
But, sadly enough, I found my first rock chip on my car, its ride on the edge of the hood and crease of the bumper, barely noticeable. But it always happens. Even my previous new car had "beauty" mark lol sooner or later. A big bummer. Oh well..
Thanks guys for the input. I sooner or later will have a black car, I can only imagine keeping it up, but looks great when clean.
Take the freebie lip, pocket the wing money.
I'm not a spoiler fan but the I think the "wrong" one in this case is the better looking, IMHO.
Thanks for your hard work KP I surely appreciate it.
