Hey, did you ever get to the bottom of this?

Oh, thats a shame. All you can do is keep an eye out i guess. I would suggest you join some accord FB groups and keep your eyes peeled.

Never taken a car to a track day but i would say any weight saved must be a bonus. I mean Honda changed the gear gaiter on the NSX-R from leather to mesh...just to save 10 grams (as per Top Gear). I would think every little helps.

Hi, I can currently see 2 TypeS cars on Autotrader, 1 of them Saloon, both pre-facelift.

Welcome to the forum. Im from West Yorkshire too, where about's are you from? Im sure you will love the Accord, if you are replacing a V70 you must got the Accord Tourer?

I suppose so, i was just querying it as other manufacturers have put these features on basic spec cars so wondered if i was missing something.

Im really surprised that the 2012 Accord Type S doesn't have these 2 features. Is there an option/switch that i haven't turned on somewhere or Is it just something that Honda never did in 2012?

I also have an FRV although mine is the 2005 2.0 Petrol one (150bhp). Mpg and road tax are both horrific but the practicality and reliability is second to none. My family prefer it to my 8th gen Accord. If you want a later model like 2008/2009 with a petrol engine you will get the 1.8 iVtec...

That actually looks quite good. Got a link for it?

Sorry @Blippi, wasn't able to reply earlier but glad you got them fitted. Good job!

Sellers name is "Utiems"

No probs. Did you find the buttons on ebay?

Welcome (back?) Ian. What spec tourer have you gone for? Es, Ex, Type S? Any pics?

Actually yes there is: be sure to leave the new buttons alone until step 5. Step 1: Open the single screw to pop the transponder section off, this has the buttons in it. Step 2: Then you pop the transponder section open with a coin (there is a notch on 1 corner). Here you will see the battery...

All, Just a quick one here. My key fobs were looking old and tired because the buttons had worn down and i didn't like the look of them so had a look at ways of refreshing them. This is what they looked like: After a bit of digging and searching i found these buttons on ebay for approx £3...
