    obdii Bluetooth

    I have one that looks exactly the same as that bought from Ebay. Works fine with the Torque app on Android. Don`t know about iphone. I`ve found though that while it works fine on the accord it doesn`t work on other cars in the family, ie Picasso, Clio, Ka, Corsa and probably some others. And I...

    USB Integration

    Make sure you plug your Xcarlink in to the headunit nice and tight. Don`t know if they have improved them but I found when I bought mine about 5 years ago the connector plug was a loose fit and even now causes the xcarlink to not work on occasion

    2012 new MOT rules

    No problem Brett, but I still think that it will all depend on how the tester interprets the new rules.

    Facelift Gen7 wipers?

    Have to agree with Neil. I tried a few that were recommended here and elsewhere but they just scraped along the screen (something that really winds me up) despite giving it a good clean. So I went and bought Honda ones and they were perfect and I didn`t think they were all that expensive

    TMC - Whose Works?

    I thought mine wasn`t working as around here (Liverpool/South Lancs area) my TMC icon is always on red. However I`ve just done a trip back from Orpington in Kent and all of the way home the icon was green. It even recalculated a route for me around an M6 closure between J15 and J16 from the end...

    Power feed for phone

    Don`t know to be honest. I just know that when I got my facelift EX Tourer there was the usual socket in the dash, the one inside the armrest and another in the rear load space just below the rear window

    Power feed for phone

    Don`t think theres anything behind there other than bulkhead brackets/metal type stuff from what I can remember. You may have to get under the dash by the pedals to find somewhere. I ran an extension lead from the socket in the arm rest and plugged my TomTom lead into that. It then runs to the...

    HFT - Help Me Please

    Trev, the same thing happens to me all the time. Alan not sure if you know but the system will only hold 50 names so about 100 of your contacts are left out.

    HFT - Help Me Please

    Not impressed myself. People say they can`t hear me so I have to shout. It doesn`t always hear who I want to call and just reads back a random set of numbers to me . On the 7th gen no intergration with the touch screen, its all done by voice so if you have two similar sounding names it...

    My boot wont open manually or automatically

    Disconnecting the battery for a few minutes has in the past reset something for me and it has then worked fine. I`ve had to do this twice now but if your struts are not supporting the tailgate then this may not help and you will have to replace the struts.

    Spare Wheel

    I`ve got a spare 17" Penta in my tourer and it fits a treat if you put it in face down. Like someone has said it provides a handy storage spave to put my detachable towbar, jump leads, tools, straps for roof rack etc etc

    radio reception issue

    I have the same problem as you but I get constant interference Apparently the connector/suppressor is behind the trim covering the nearside rear c pillar on the right hand side of the window with the aerial in. Hope that makes sense. I had a go at getting the trim off but it was so tight I was...
