    MP3 player aux connection

    With the ebay aux adapter I've fitted, electrical interference seems to be fairly constant. Having lived with that noise previously (on older cars, in decades past) and bearing in mind that it's only noticeable on quiet tracks, it's not a deal breaker. I've emailed the company to see if they...

    MP3 player aux connection

    Removed the middle sections of the dash, finally. Will update later on that, just in case it's helpful to anyone else (or the YT vids disappear). The ebay version of the MP3 connector (listed above) seems very good. Had it plugged in last Sunday night and it worked well. Only down side so far...

    MP3 player aux connection

    Lying in the drivers side footwell, confused and ****ed off - that's where! At the second attempt, I'd have probably tried to start all the way back at the centre console cubby box, so thanks for that YT link. I now know to start at the gear lever surround. And a trim panell remover looks like...

    MP3 player aux connection

    HELP! Just had a quick look, to see if I can get mine hooked up before a 3 hour journey. I was trying to reach the bottom of the radio/cd unit and got stumped. How do I reach it - take the pockets out below it, obviously. Therein lies the problem. How do you get the lower, open, din sized...

    MP3 player aux connection

    Sorry, but I'm not clear about what you're saying. Do you mean that your car isn't equipped with an integrated CD changer? Or an external CD changer? Or are you saying that after fitting the Aux Adaptor (you don't specify which type), your head unit doesn't allow you to select the built in CD...

    20% Easter Discount at ECP

    This could (should?) be a regular thread. Mods? Imran, some good stuff there, thanks. Got any more for this weekend (or any other)? Always remember, if someone posts a code in capitals, enter it into the website in capitals, if it's got a space or dash or dot, put that in. Duh. It sometimes...

    Battey Replacement

    Am I right in thinking that the Honda had a 3 year warranty? If so, will have a look for the receipt and give them a rocket. Any chance of a replacement, do you think? I can always alternate them both or sell it and give the money to Macmillan/Hospice of the Valleys.

    Accessory socket fuse

    Can someone confirm my idea of where the rear accessory socket fuse is? I did check it a while ago with no luck.

    Cigarette Lighter/ rear power plug

    Can someone verify for me, which fuse in my '54 Honda EX2.0A Tourer is for the rear accessory socket? I did check the manual against what it seemed to say but the fuse was intact. Swapping it out also made no difference. Perhaps I got the wrong one or else it's melted wiring and not the fuse...

    Battey Replacement

    Spot on, it does. Forgot to mention that. It's just nice, after 4 days of getting the Range Rover battery out of the back, to be able to behave like a normal car owner again.

    Battey Replacement

    Over an hour at the dentist today (even if she is very lovely), left me feeling unable to bother any more about searching the interweb. So I went back to Halfords and got the only one that suited. Yuasa HSB053, 48AH and 430A (CCA), with a 5 year warrantee. Normally £75 but as someone here...

    Battey Replacement

    Back to basics. Can anyone tell me what type/number/size I need for my 54 plate 2.0 Exec Auto petrol Tourer. The Honda battery is just over 2 years old and has failed, which I find shocking (no pun intended). Part number is 31500-ST3-111HE Searching for the item number online doesn't bring up a...

    That item and the fitting notes are extremely welcome. Thank you all. I never got around to getting the carputer item as I couldn't get hold of them. Having now seen the new price (50 instead of 30), I'm very glad to find this new item. Saves me having to buy a bluetooth mp3 player. Then the...

    Trouble lifting driver's door window up when fully down!

    Odd. Pete1958's trick of pressing down on the glass does work. Like you say, not easy when you're driving though! One of those things that you just get used to, once you realise how to avoid it.

    Cigarette Lighter/ rear power plug

    Bought some 16s (winter tyres/wheels) a few months ago, when all tyres needed replacing, as well as a bust alloy. Ouch. They're quite a different ride. Better in almost all places, but they do tramline a bit. Economy does seem to be up a bit too. And sticky? Wow.

    Trouble lifting driver's door window up when fully down!

    Now that's *really* weird. I'll try that next time. Must just be an electronic foible. Now I know about it, it doesn't bother me; but crossing the Severn Bridge in the rain...... boy, I was REALLY expanding my vocabulary at the expense of Mr Honda. I don't know about ears burning, I think his...

    Cigarette Lighter/ rear power plug

    Came with the car and listed on original delivery sheet. But you're right, they may have been an optional extra. 16s are apparently much better ride & handling. I'd ***ume that's right as mine seem to float/twitch when cornering/going around roundabouts, which is really odd. I thought originally...

    Accessory socket fuse

    My 2003 2 litre Tourer has the cig lighter at #9 (bottom row) and rear accessory at #12 (far left of middle row). Been meaning to do this, as mine went ages ago, when (oddly enough) using the compressor. They obviously didn't check that out properly, did they, with regard to fuse amperage for...

    Cigarette Lighter/ rear power plug

    In case anyone else comes looking for this info, my 2003 Accord 2.0EX has the cigarette lighter at #9 (3rd from the right on the bottom row) and the rear accessory socket at #12 (far left of the middle row). Make sure you're NOT looking at it from above, ie. upside down! Honda manual doesn't...
