You can buy the Hidden-Hitch online several places for under $160 including shipping
part # 70750
The wiring harness is $120 including shipping (I can give you a link to the best price I found).
It's a two person job to remove and reinstall the bumper. The hitch will also require two people but is very easy to install. The instructions will give you the bolt size needed to mount the hitch under the Ody as they do not come with the hitch. You will need to buy hardened bolts. Tell the auto parts place what you intend to use the bolts for and they will fix you up.
The instructions on the wiring harness will make more since when you are actually installing the harness as the illustrations are a little crude. Be sure to use a little masking tape where you have to apply pressure for the trim and bumper clips to keep from scratching the area around them. It could turn into an all day project but you will save a lot of money and gain some personal satisfaction. Again the whole process is easy but time consuming when your doing it for the first time. I bet I could do it again in about 2 or 3 hours. You will only need your husbands assistance for 30 minutes during the entire process. A basic metric tool set is required along with some screwdrivers. The largest socket was 19mm for the hitch. Install the wiring harness first, reinstall the rear bumper and the hitch last.
they have the mirror your looking for.
click on the installation instructons to see what it will take.
On the subject of hitches, does anyone have a hitch-mounted cargo carrier that they'd recommend? We're looking at closed carriers that sit on a swing-away bar; seems like things would be more accessible than in a roof-mounted box, and drag would be reduced. Thanks.
I am looking for the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor)location or the cable color at the PCM. Or if is possible the cruise control location and the vss input cable that send the signal.
I am trying to connect a taxi meter on it.

I would just cut the flat plug off and hard wire a new 7 pin plug if it were me if electric brakes were not an issue.
Make sure the tab is actually depressing all the way on the lock. The first screwdriver I used was too wide.
At the same time you are pushing back on it, push down.
Hidden hitch part #70750 for $145.00 shipped.
My neighbor whishes that he would have bought the Hidden Hitch instead of the Honda hitch. It just looks nicer from behind the car and a lot easier to install.
I apologize if this question has been posted before. Just bought 05 Ody EX-L with Honda all season floor mats. Just love the van.
Since Honda does not have the floor mat for 3rd raw seat I would like to know where I can buy floor mat for the 3rd raw seat to match (color and style) Honda original floor mat.
Thanks
(Could be my mistake)
I know that if you do a google search you will find the company that make the mats for all the US auto makers and I have seen the factory mats listed on that site for a lot less than buying them from your local honda dealership.
They were about the same price as the all weather mats so I decided that I would just wear them out and replace them when the time comes.
The all season floor mats (black rubber one not the carpet type) sold by Honda only cover front and 2nd row but not the 3rd row.
I am trying to buy the after market all season floor mat for the 3rd row to match the one sold by Honda.
For the organizer, there's a shot here: http://www.handa-accessories.com/odyssey/cargoorganizer.jpg. Looks like its got a couple of straps to hold it down...?

If it's not for the lazy susan, I would have spend the money on weathertech mats.
come to think of it, i'd rather give up the use of lazy susan in the winter
How does the Honda Hitch look compared to say a Hidden Hitch?
As far as the hitch, the hidden hitch hangs down about 1/4 inch lower but with the round tubes you really don't see much of the hitch. You can purchase everything shipped(hitch, coolers, harness(the complete factory Honda package)) over the net for $700 shipped and it's a time consuming but do-able all day project. If you go several posts back from yours you will find the entire instruction manual and you can determine your ability for yourself. I did it with one helper and was surprised how easy it was.
Question, the Turing model comes with auto door locks like my FOrd did. Does anybody know if there is a way that the door locks can auto lock after five seconds or so.
Thanks
Thanks.
The top of the sunshade, (the hooks that hold the shade) are pressed into some sort of putty glue. When I pulled the sunshade up and attached it, the hooks came right off.
Is that the way they should be attached to the window?
Good Luck.
TPM is one of the good things present in all Siennas which may persuade me to buy one instead of an OD 2005. Direct or indirect TPM, does not matter to me as long as it works.

I know that in my 2000 EX I wanted to add heated mirrors - just like the Canadian models. You would think it would be simple but the wiring harness for the Canadian model was completely different and the feature could not be added.
I was looking at installing the auto-dimming mirror in my EX-L (std. on touring) and there's no wiring/harnesses in the ceiling. All the wiring has to be run according to the instructions.
