    Honda Accord EX+ on a 7th Gen, how rare are they?

    That's an interesting suggestion and point you make. From feeling them (I cannot see them) I believe they are pointing down. So, possible, I could remove this grille without the need to remove the bumper beforehand. Either way, I hadn't considered cutting off the old clips (to prevent...

    K24 Manual Black Tourer

    You're right, it's 4 clips, not 3 as I'd previously mentioned :) Makes sense to buy a set of clips, I do have one of those remover tools, just wondered if there was a better tool for getting these ones that are connected to the grille off more easily as that grille is mighty plastic and...

    K24 Manual Black Tourer

    Great thread, thank you so much. I think you’ve answered a question I’ve just posted regarding my 7th gen grille removal, ie that you have to remove the front bumper to get the grille off. Did your grille have three clips on the underside, connecting it to the front bumper? Do you have a...

    Honda Accord EX+ on a 7th Gen, how rare are they?

    I received the grille and I have to say that the condition of it is more than satisfactory :) It only cost me £55 and is not cracked or broken in any way. It’s not “as new” either, some small scratches here and there, but no cracks and will definitely be a big improvement on what I currently...

    Auto folding mirror kit for Honda Accord 7th Gen? Any tips?

    Update on the above post I made. I still haven't received the kit from Malaysia and to be honest, the company I've purchased from have gone very pear shaped in both terms of communication and customer after-sales service. I've gotten PayPal involved to get my money back so PLEASE do NOT order...

    Honda Accord EX+ on a 7th Gen, how rare are they?

    I've gone and bought a 2nd hand one in the end - it has a mesh behind the cental "H" Honda Logo, other than that it's identical to the one I have currently on my car so I'm pretty confident I can swap my Logo in its place (which I may/may not do).

    Honda Accord EX+ on a 7th Gen, how rare are they?

    Join the club :) I'm loving the 2.4 engine in mine (compared to my 2002 Honda Accord 2.0 which would make overtaking a very risky business). Mine's silver with black leather. Interesting to note regarding the tyres - luckily mine has 4 Pirelli all-season tyres which seem in good condition...

    An update - I did exactly as was mentioned in this thread, and now...... my bluetooth works too! Yay :) Big thanks to everyone on here. PS - car battery isn't losing charge either :)

    Cannot Set Up my Phone - any tips?

    I fixed it :) I followed this thread here and I removed the Bluetooth module, cleaned the circuit board using WD Circuit Cleaner, and then put it in the oven for 10 minutes as explained in this thread here; https://typeaccord.co.uk/board/threads/bluetooth-module-dead-needs-activating.23005/...

    HFT repair

    Nobody reported back to say whether the battery drain issue returned?

    Bluetooth module - dead? needs activating?

    My concern with 'fixing' this (and getting the bluetooth working) is that I'll then have problems with the battery draining. Will this fix mean the battery drain issue will also be fixed?

    Auto folding mirror kit for Honda Accord 7th Gen? Any tips?

    After a LOT of research, I found a company in Malaysia that sells Auto Fold modules for the Honda Accord 7th gen - I've ordered a kit and will let you know how I get on. Here's the link in case anyone else is interested...

    Cannot Set Up my Phone - any tips?

    I think I'm learning more about these cars (I've only had mine a couple of weeks) - my guess is that the Bluetooth module isn't working. It has either been disconnected, or, isn't working due to overheating (dry solder joints) - apparently a common problem. Apparently people disconnect them...

    Bluetooth module - dead? needs activating?

    Wow!!! I am soooooooooooo grateful for this thread - my Phone Button doesn't make a beep - so I'll give this a try and let you know if it works! Thank you! PS - Any updates from anyone? Is it still working for you or did you end up going for the Grom-bt3?

    Cannot Set Up my Phone - any tips?

    I've tried countless times to go through "Phone Set Up" on my car but the response is always "Repeat", "Pardon", "Say Again", it's of course highly frustrating! I've tried different accents, speaking each word slowly, and each time end up giving up..... Any ideas / tips please? I love this...

    Removing the large plastic splash shield that's under the engine?

    Can anyone point me to a diagram which shows me where all the release clips/screws are to be found for my car please? I've looked online but cannot find it at all... Thanks.

    Rechroming my Grille?

    The chrome on my grille lets the rest of my car down and I'd like to replace it (however I believe inside/behind the badge is where the cruise radar sits?). Would I still be able to buy/fit a new grille (and transfer over the radar bits) or should I have the original grille rechromed (not even...

    Auto folding mirror kit for Honda Accord 7th Gen? Any tips?

    Thanks Smokingman, I should have said in my post that I did see/read that post and I contacted Japanparts but they said this part is no longer available (though mine's a 7th Gen and that thread is for the 8th Gen Accord, maybe I'll recontact japanparts as I can remember if I told them mine's a...

    Auto folding mirror kit for Honda Accord 7th Gen? Any tips?

    I'd really like to buy and install the modification kit that'll allow my folding mirrors to fold off the key (or auto-fold when the ignition key is turned on/off) - all rather than relying on remembering to press the fold-button on the door. I know these kits used to exist (once upon a time)...
