    My new JDM Gen 8 Accord CW2 2.4 Type S and specifically how to upgrade the head unit.

    The Firefly arrived today and it works perfectly so a big thank you for the recommendation. I originally purchased one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01KZ1S46A/ref=pe_27063361_485629781_TE_item_image but it never worked so I just utilised the female jack portion and connected the firefly...

    Yea, I looked up that Hardrace option for the rear arms when I heard about some folks having issues. My alignment guy said not to worry as the rear arms and bushings all look good. TGT who imported it replaced some front bushings along with discs and pads as part of their prep to sell but I...

    My new JDM Gen 8 Accord CW2 2.4 Type S and specifically how to upgrade the head unit.

    Have you heard about some of these cars eating their inner rear tyres? Mine showed no signs of wear but I had mine checked out and the camber is good front and rear. 9 months in now and I've not had a single issue. She has used a quarter of a litre of oil but I have put almost 9k miles on so I...

    My new JDM Gen 8 Accord CW2 2.4 Type S and specifically how to upgrade the head unit.

    Thanks If you ever swap it all out I might be interested, although my audio guy couldnt confirm whether just swapping out the whole system to a UK one would be as painless as it sounds. He wont know that till he opens her up!

    All the advert pics of the firefly show it as plugged into the USB AND AUX socket! Or do you mean use it in connection with the RCA with female jack?

    My new JDM Gen 8 Accord CW2 2.4 Type S and specifically how to upgrade the head unit.

    Thanks That is exactly what I am using but with a mail jack into my older Android phone. Unfortunately the audio sound by hooking up this way produces a low frequency hums/hiss which is not present at all when playing Ipod tunes directly via the USB connection.

    Hi buddy They do seem a pain to integrate new tech into and like you I am not going to invest in any cheap Chinese system no matter how great they state they are! Thanks for the info and details about the challenges you face The TUNAI Firefly looks good and I'm sure would improve the sound I...

    My new JDM Gen 8 Accord CW2 2.4 Type S and specifically how to upgrade the head unit.

    Apologies for the late reply. Thanks for the advice. I will investigate the FM expander unit. I have since been able to sort out music streaming. All I needed was an all-male RCA adapter cable with a male jack. I did purchase an RCA cable with a female jack to try adding a BT receiver to allow...

    My new JDM Gen 8 Accord CW2 2.4 Type S and specifically how to upgrade the head unit.

    I thought I would start a new thread regarding updating the ICE in specifically JDM cars. With more and more imports now being advertised I’m guessing many new owners like me would like to update the original JDM unit. Forgive me if my terminology is incorrect as my auto audio knowledge is...

    Aftermarket stereo

    Cheers bud. Although it does state it only works on the Euro model and doesn't mention the JDM one, I might still take a punt if I replace the stock unit
