    5w 40 oil

    Damn it.....................Just changed my oil yesterday. After reading a previous post put 5 litres of Castrol Edge 5w-30 in my beloved CL9. I'm sure it will be okay, but please please guys make up your minds. Is it 0w-30 or 5w-30 :rolleyes:

    Bluetooth kit

    Check IO Play. I installed one in my Accord , and it also streams music. I paid £60 for mine on ebay. With the correct autoleads cable it will mute the radio.

    installing satnav

    It's been well documented before. Generally not worth the hassle. You would need the loom from a donor car plus the antenna and other ***ociated parts. Better off getting a Tom Tom.

    Playing mp3 cd's in a standard head unit?

    My mp3 tracks are all converted. via windows media player and I can burn around 18 tracks to a blank cd. This plays without any problems in my accord. I have the executive model with the satnav and 6 disc changer.

    fitting Parrot mki9200 car kit

    Forget about Halfords. Look in the DIY section as someone has recently done a excellent write-up with photos on the same subject. Oh, and by the way; the amp is under the ashtray, not the seat!

    License plate bulb

    Thanks for the prompt responses. I took Brett's advice. A quick 5 minute job. My wife reckons that we are all Geeks on this forum, except when something needs fixing on her 1999 Accourd Coupe.

    The menu option has 3 sub menus. 1 of these has the adjustments for the clock. Don't know if you need the disc for this.

    Definitely goes in the bottom row, position 4. I remember someone on the old forum asking why the 6 x9 's and tweeter still played. Can't rember what was the reason Autoleads gave.

    SOT-047 Cable not supplying power

    Pink mute wire goes into pin 4 on the bottom row if I remember rightly. When i get a call the sound still comes through the rear 6 x 9 's and tweeters also. If think this normal for this set up.

    The amp is under the ashtray. The blue connector on the SOT lead plugs into the amp.

    stereo replacements

    Check Youtube for a demo of that headunit . It seems quite good for £400 and has all the functions you would ever need. Check the sellers feedback first before you order though.

    sat nav system install

    It's a real big big job to retrofit the factory system into your car. Your best bet is either: 1) A standalone Satnav ( Tom Tom or Garmin), which are better than the factory unit. 2) The unit that you mentioned on ebay. 3) Install a normal size head unit in the vacant pocket in the dash. Buy...

    Is there an Amp in the EXEC?

    I had a full 500 watt setup in my previous 6th generation car( 4 channel amp, tweeters and a 12" subwoofer). It sounded great but took up a lot of boot space. The factory set-up in my CL9( with satnav) is a good as any factory stereo I've heard. I wouldn't change any of it, except maybe the...

    Is there an Amp in the EXEC?

    Someone on the old forum had a detailed DIY on how to add proper pre-amp outputs to the factory amp. Sadly I think it was lost when the site went down :(

    Soft Brakes

    Must take my hat off to Chiswick Honda, their service is improving. They did not try and sell me anything that wasn't needed, and the brakes are now starting to feel better after about 150 miles so far. Chiswick Honda only charged £60 for a thorough inspection of the brake system. One strange...
