For me it was resolved when xcarlink sent me a new one. Worked first time when I plugged it in (unlike the first one) and been great ever since.

Hi all Last night I installed a pair of Alpine SPS-69C3 speakers to replace the stock 6 x 9s in my 2005 Accord Sport (saloon). Issue I have is that I cannot be sure that I have the polarity right with the wiring. I think I have it wrong on one side (i.e. I have wired negative feed to positive...

Not sure if I should post this as a new question. I bought the SKU703 Bluetooth xcarlink direct from manufacturer. I took the accord apart yesterday and plugged it in to the CD changer port. Nothing happened. The HU will not recognise that there is anything plugged in to the CD changer port. If...

I've not long had my Accord and had to send off a form v62 to DVLA this week (V5C lost in post apparently). Anyway it presented an opportunity to correct the colour description, as the form requires you to fill it in. You'll be disappointed to learn that I chickened out and put Silver to...

Did the mod this afternoon. Wipers look so much better now. Tip for those yet to do this. Make sure you spray the screw holding the driver's wiper block in place with WD40 or similar the night before. Mine was so welded in place that the screw head nearly threaded!

Looks like a great (cheap and easy) mod for the pre-facelift. Just ordered a set of facelift Honda OEM blades from Holdcroft. Less than £20 the pair inc. VAT and delivery, with forum member discount. Very pleased with that.

I used this kit http://www.amazon.co.uk/Meguiars-G1900UK-Headlight-Restoration-Kit/dp/B001O7I7FS to remove the oxidation on the headlights of my old Celica. I will try to post up my before and after picks, as the results were amazing.

According to the owners manual you can find your colour code on the drivers door jam plate. True on mine. Mine is NH658p (Graphite grey pearl).

I'm about to replace the chrome bonnet strip with the euro r colour coded one I got from Lings. What should I be soaking the dome nuts in please?

My V5C says silver too but the car is graphite pearl. For some reason no one at Honda thought to describe it as grey when telling the DVLA it seems!

I like the idea of putting the cerwin vega speakers in the front doors with the civic ep adapters. Andy - do you have the model number for the 17cm cerwins?

Really want to do this mod on my Grey pre-facelift Sport. Can anyone give any indication of how hard the two parts are to fit? Was it difficult getting the old chrome parts off? Type S models seem to have no bonnet trim at all (I.e. no trim at front of bonnet immediately above grill) just the...

Thanks both re the Bose upgrade. Do you think it will work and/or make much of a difference given I only have the standard single CD head unit? Will setup an ebay search in the meantime.

Thanks Alex. Really helpful. Any tips for upgrades to the 6x9 speakers in rear? Thanks

Thanks both. I was looking to get the 6 disc dual climate HU without sat nav. Thought that it might be as simple as "plug and play" on a straight swap, but sounds like maybe not. I can see that improving the sound would be too much work based on Andy's info, but do you think/know if the 6 disc...
