I figured the $608 for factory XM will add value to the car.
Also I did not like the feel of the buttons and dials on the after market products.
Didn't have a gut feel that the unit would last 4 years?
So I'm going for the factory XM for $608 (Adds to the value of the car at resale.....I hope) and $499 for 5 years of XM. (After April 2nd the 5 year plan goes up to $599)
Thank goodness for my Tax Refund.
Thanks
will someone please respond and help me out. also whatever way is best to power them, how do i wire them to the battery and what is the best way to hide the wire???
Thanks, if you dont mind please respond to aknba23@yahoo.com
I'm interested in this too - would you be willing to send me a private email directing me to the info on the other board? (Just bought the car, reluctant to pony up the dealer price for XM, and just found this board!)
Thanks,
Pete Boser
Good luck!
The modulator is set by installer or manufacturer to a particular FM frequency, say 87.9. All you do is just tune your stereo to this frequency and you get the sound. Easy!
The only time you'd want to turn off the modulator is if there's a good FM radio station in your area that shares the frequency with the modulator. When you want to listen to this station, just turn the modulator off using the remote control.
Anyway, I have the 2003 EXL-RES, there seems to be a problem with the wireless headset where signal is lost for a few seconds. My kids start tapping the darn things and say, “Dad, theres no sound”. And by the time I get in the back to look into it, the sound is back.
Is this a weak battery? If so wouldn’t it be continuous problem instead of a problem that comes and goes.
Defective I think so and hope so.
Problem is that no sound. can not find audio output jacks for headphones. Has 2 input jacks. The other problem is the screen shows everything backwards. Instead of letters/words reading left to right they read right to left.
Any ideas / the company website from Innovatek only shows madels and nothing else.
Horrible for a 2005 audio/video company. I guess it is good enough for a Canadian company

Why do they manufacture these monster combo players? Is it the problem with me or anyone else facing the similar problem? My kid really liked the monitor and doesn't want to come out of the van? Please throw your suggestions before I decide to return the player.
Suggest me if I use the wrong forum....
I also saw a web site that sold modified headrests with the screens permanently recessed within, but they were very pricy. I am looking for an alternative to the ceiling mounted versions, in part because of the comments about rear view mirror blocking.

The dealer wants $500 to replace. does anybody have a better solution? Where can I get an original Honda unit? Can I replace them myself?
HELP!
:sick:
The car comes with a rear entertainment system, and wireless headphones. The headphones work well for radio and CD, but do not play the DVD player. Do you have any ideas? I would really appreciate any and all help.
I'm thinking by now, you've gotten yours. Hope you had a good experience as well.
Just got an '05 Ody Touring (with 90 days free XM).
I want to plug my iPod into the AUX port. But the dealer says I cannot use the AUX if XM is enabled.
Anyone know if this is true or not? If it is, is there any way to have BOTH XM and my iPod working?
Many thanks.

The dealer provided my with a copy of Publication # All 27373, Installation Instructions, XM Radio System. The Honda instructions, in 9 pages of great detail, show that the antenna should be installed exactly where it is, inside the windshield?
The dealer has agreed to install any XM antenna I bring them on the rear center roof. I have experienced some infrequent drop-outs or mutes with "no signal" momentarily displayed on the radio.
1. Can I expect noticably better performance with the antenna moved from the inside of the w/s to the rear/center of the roof?
2. Will any current antenna product connector (Terk, etc.) fit the Odyssey connector on the "splitter"? :confuse:
3. What is the absolute best XM antenna on the market?
Thanks for all feedback.
Has anyone ever tried using 'non-Honda' wireless headphones with the factory installed RES? I heard some RCA infra-reds work. There are also UHF models as well.
Please advise with the exact make and model of an aftermarket unit. Thanks in advance!!
We currently have an Audivox VBP5000 that has a VHS/DVD player with detachable screen and an add-on screen. We keep the player up front with us. Both screens came with their own cases to strap onto the back of the headrests. Since the straps holding them to the headrests goes between the headrest and the actual seat, they stay in place while on the road...even during a close call requiring sudden stop last summer.
Having the flexibility and mobility of the 2 screens allowed our son and daughter to sit either in the 2nd or 3rd seats in the van. The kids could watch the same movie, watch different movies, or one watch a movie and the other play video games. We've actually been looking at the Kawasaki PVS1965S or the Durabrand PVS1970 or as a replacement to the bulkier VBP5000. Hope this helps.

Now I have a big hole in my headliner and don't have any idea on what kind of system to look for. Has anyone else had any luck with all-in-one units and FM modulators? I've used my laptop with a $30 wireless modulator and it works great - probably should just stick with that, but we wanted something that would be up and out of the way. Thanks.

I have a 2004 Odyssey with RES. I want to hook up an mp3 player to the sound system. There is not an auxiliary input on the dash so I was wondering if it is possible to hook the mp3 player up to the third row rear input and control volume etc from the front deck. I am trying to avoid pulling the radio to add an input to the rear of the deck. Any thoughts on this? Will it work?
If not, any one know of any instructions online on how to pull the radio from an Odyseey if I need to?
Thanks.
1. Yes
2. No
3. Probably Terk
