True, but within a few months there always an aftermarket kit to allow
radio replacement.

Worst case I ever worked on was a friend's grand am which had the interior
lighting controlled by the radio! We ended up pulling the circuit board from
the radio, connected it to the factory harness just to controll the lighting
and stuffed it behind the dash

I've never seen any hondas that pulled that crap. Replacing them is usually a
30 minute job including making up a harness adapter.

Try that with the radio built-in to the navigation system. Lots of
luck.

 

Well, there's your answer. My Infinitis have both the back window and an
antenna whip. My Nissans have the whip. My '00 Acura TL just has the back
window wire. There are certain places I go where the Nissans get good
reception and the TL gets nothing.

Honda Civics in the past have used the factory radio to control the
keyless entry.

Right, I suffered through one of those Civics. An installer paralleled the
new radio in with the stock unit.

Speaking of the complaints about current Accord radios... what have they
done since 2004? The one in my non-Nav '04 4-cyl is great.

I haven't found any problems with reception on either band with my '01
Accord with the antenna in the rear window. Come to think about it, no
problem with the '97 Accord with the same style antenna.

The Prelude has a built in antenna in the rear window. I also drive an 03
Civic LX as a commuter and have no problems with reception. Of course, the
radio/CD system is quite low-buck.

 

i dont know how some of the new toyotas and fords are going to fare. a
lot of em look like it *is* only one panel for all the controls. then
what? are skosche and ai going to have a kit that includes a whole panel?

the civics with the factory alarm. pure boneheadedness.

Nah...had a 2004 Accord which had no problem. 2006 CR-V with external
antenna does the same thing.

List on the changers is around $2000. I want what I paid for.
