in my 2005 Odyssey -- Has anyone tried to see how the rear seat aux. ports attach to the radio-CD unit in the dash? Looking to hook up iPod and since my 2005 Odyssey has AUX ports ... hmm ... and think there has to be a front connection so you don't have to run wires to the rear seat port input?
Regards

I think the space is much more useful without the Lazy Susan. Maybe we can convince Honda to give owners a $10 discount on their next service when they turn in the Lazy Susans, and then Honda can recycle them into something useful such as inflatable Santas.
Any luck on that part number on the Passive Alarm?
Sorry to "bug" you, but I am getting close to 30 days after my purchase and don't want to have problems with the dealer on this (they have been very good thus far).
I haven't started shifting the crap from the old car into the Ody yet, so I can't say how all the storage components will work. I do know that there's lot of loose crap that currently resides on the floor that will probably be going subteranean.

There was also a interface unit for the Accord but don 't know if it worked for anything else.
Here is a link to somebody that used the Soundguard (or something like that) This isn't a recommendation, just info to look at. Again it was for an Accord and may not work on anything else.

My question...when you buy a used car from a dealer...do you have to pay sales tax?
what about from a private seller...do you pay sales tax to the DMV when you register it?
suppose you register a car in one state --pay sales tax to DMV because the car was bought in another state and a few weeks later have to move to a different state---do you have to pay the difference in sales tax when you register the car again? is the tax refunded? for example...suppose you bought a car in NY and did not pay any tax to the dealer but paid VA sales tax at VA DMV. Now two weeks later you have to move permanently in Delaware (no sales tax)--is the tax refunded? or if you have to move to a state where the tax rate is higher---do you have to pay the difference?
please someone help...

Steve, Host
says that extended warranties are not worth
the money. Of course like everything in life,
there are exceptions to the rule.
Since everyone is now selling extended
warranties on just about anything mechanical
you have to figure that theres a lot of
money to be made by the people selling these warranties.
In fact I have a buddy who has litterally
gotten rich off selling extended warraties
to used car buyers.
I was initially searching for an LX, but after checking a few local dealers and finding that they do not like to order LX but instead like to pile up EX in their lots. I wonder why EX is perceived as more in demand than LX. Could you guys share why EX is a more popular choice?
Many thanks.
That said, don't confuse sales tax with Tag tax and other taxes. Some states also put an "advorlorum tax" on and other things.
The way most states operate is they do not refund unused taxes but the state you go to makes an allowance off their tax for the tax you paid (sometimes). Sometimes not.
Best thing is talk to a professional and tell them everything so they can make an accurate assessment.
Honda offers the LX so it can grab low-spend buyers and so it can say it offers a minivan in a lower price range. I saw somewhere the production stats, and the EX-L is predicted to represent 50% of all Odysseys sold. The LX is something like 10%.
That said, the LX incorporates most of the safety features (thank you, Honda) in the model.
Be careful because you can do more damage to your fingers than to the cover!
have fun and enjoy!
I got a 7 year, 100,000 mile Honda Care warranty because my dealer offers it with an insurance policy that will refund the cost at the end of 7 years if the warranty is not used. If I don't have to use the warranty for a major repair, then the cost to me is the interest that I lost over 7 years. Without this provision, I would not have gotten the warranty.

Ace100: Which dealer offered this warranty/insurance?
Not sure if they can be installed backwards or not, but a while back people were talking about installing the crossbars backwards and causing a noise. Not sure if they were talking Ody or not.
You can get the refund only during the 30 days at the end of the warranty period. For the 7 year, 100,000 mile warranty, I believe you must wait until year 7 to get the refund even if you reach the 100,000 mile limit earlier. You must also submit a number of documents showing that you purchased the warranty and that you still own the vehicle.
If the vehicle is sold or totaled during the warranty period, you get only the Honda Care prorata refund.
I noticed that on my EX-L Navi/DVD, when climate control is set to "auto" the A/C is on? I can manually turn the A/C off by pushing the A/C button. However, doing this also turn off the climate control.
I live in Wisconsin, and the winter can be 4.5 months long. I do not understand why the A/C will have to be on at the same time the climate control is on. I do understand the A/C can also dehumidify the cabinet. However, most of the time, the winter air is pretty dry already.
Is the A/C really on whenever the climate control is on? Or, the A/C is not actually on until it is really needed?

My wife's Malibu turns the compressor on whenever the controls are set to "Bi-Level" EVEN when the A/C button is set to OFF!. Almost froze one day when it was mild weather and it was humid. Couldn't turn the A/C off but could turn the temp up. (Hate running the A/C when I don't need it. Dealer said it was "normal" and designed that way.
In defense of the reviewers, most of the comments here (not all) come from owners who have driven the vehicle a while and have a vested interest in the vehicle. Some of the comments here about the wind noise (cowling) seem to have appeared after a while and not immediately. Just my opinion.
That said, there was a real issue with wind noise in 05 Odysseys acknowledged by Honda, but my understanding is that it is a relatively isolated problem with a fix available that is simple to implement.
For something like the seemingly common door rattle, again it's probably a first year "feature" that will get resolved eventually, and probably have a tsb for some revised part to cure the problem for the early adopters.

I do have a bit of a rattle/creak though coming from somewhere between the Driver seat and the 2nd row rear passenger seat. It is hard to exactly place it. It occurs when going over bumps. It is noticeable but not that bothersome.
Also I guess the Odyssey's with the Nav have the XM radio fully integrated since mine works fine.
