    Changed my Grille, now Radar doesn't work - is grille the problem?

    I stand corrected..... ....I've just seen in the Handbook that there *is* a radar sensor 'in' the front grille :oops: I'm pretty sure I can replace the central parts between these two grilles. Thanks for enlightening me :)

    Changed my Grille, now Radar doesn't work - is grille the problem?

    How do you mean the centre emblem *is* the radar sensor? (the centre emblem isn't connected to the car via any wires or suchlike) As far as I can tell, the radar sensor is the black box behind the grille that's the radar sensor (btw, I still have the original grille, it's just completely...

    Anyone else looking to modify their Folding Mirrors to become Auto-Folding (on keyfob close), then get this....

    I had an auto-electrician fit me a kit that folds the mirrors on key-fob close and opens them on ignition on. I don't know the make, but the code is NQ-RMF01 and it was just a few quid. Didn't cost too much to get fitted either (I'd say it's not a DIY job, electrician had to identify, and then...

    Changed my Grille, now Radar doesn't work - is grille the problem?

    My original grille came with the centre emblem being of clear plastic (and the Honda "H" being embedded within that). I could only find a good chrome grille that didn't have such a central emblem, only the "H" in front of a mesh like grille (if that makes sense). Now, I'm finding my Active...

    Does your 7th Gen Accord have a Maintenance Minder?

    In the Workshop Repair Manual, it states that by putting the key to ON (position II) and pushing and releasing the trip meter select/reset knob on the instrument panel repeatedly the Engine Oil Life Indicator is displayed? Just wondering if this is available on UK spec cars or if it's for USA...

    Clock is one hour out

    Great :) It adjusted no problem! I've only had this car a month and no matter how hard I tried to adjust the clock the same day I took ownership, it simply wouldn't adjust from being one hour out! Today, it finally did it effortlessly! Thank you for the heads up :)

    Clock is one hour out

    This is good to know, did you have to do anything at all? How does it get altered? (sorry, I've only had my 7th gen a month and it did come with it being 1hour out and so I'm not sure how the system works).

    Help with wiring of Mirror "AutoFold" / "AutoTilt" Kit

    Yes, as mentioned, I might just hold off from attempting to install the reversing tilt function and leave that bit of this project for another time.. (I'm also wondering if it'll tilt both mirrors and whether I'd actually like that, rather than just the one - I must say, thinking about it, I do...

    Thanks for the tips. I'd actually went and used imgur immediately after posting this message as I found it far more flexible :) Many thanks.

    Help with wiring of Mirror "AutoFold" / "AutoTilt" Kit

    I'm guessing the Green and Blue go to the "Door Lock Actuator"? (as that's got two cavities, and I'm guessing that's for lock/unlock? - please don't laugh :), electrics is all a mystery to me!). If my guess is right, where would be a good home for the Red one (for power as per the 'Wiring...

    Help with wiring of Mirror "AutoFold" / "AutoTilt" Kit

    Okay, I'm making progress :) From the Honda Manual - here is a picture of what harnesses to expect within the driver's door; From here, one can see that Item Ref 3, Power Mirror Switch, has 13 cavities..... And from my photo of the Folding Mirror Kit you can see that the Harness Connectors...

    Might be an idea to say where you found it! (saves others, including me, having to search) BTW, that message "file is too large" isn't very helpful, I did eventually upload my photo, but it took 5 goes to finally reduce it to something that'd be acceptable (and I still am not sure what that...

    Help with wiring of Mirror "AutoFold" / "AutoTilt" Kit

    Might be a *real* help if there was a wiring diagram available for the 7th Gen Honda Accords :)

    Help with wiring of Mirror "AutoFold" / "AutoTilt" Kit

    Hi, In my pursuit to have my electric mirrors autofold on my 2006 2.4 Honda Accord, I spent a lot of time sourcing (and finding) what seems to be the only supplier that does this kit (they're in Malaysia). They have a ton of videos on YouTube showing cars with successfully installed Autofold...

    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).
