I’m considering buying an Accord (up to about 2.5 years old) and in fact my need is urgent as my old Rover is beyond economical repair...so I am out shopping this weekend!
I will be selecting a model that offers leather upholstery (I’m spoilt!)
Because I’m in my car a lot, the audio is important to me. I fitted an Alpine in my old Rover which had full iPod control with a large circular knob allowing me to speedily scroll and select from menus just as you would on an iPod itself. Brilliant.
So, iPod integration is absolutely essential to me. However I am confused by what is available.
In short, do any Accord models offer such comprehensive integration of an iPod? I’m not talking about selecting playlists – I mean proper menu navigation.
If not, then I am happy to rip out what is there and replace with an Alpine or similar...if this is possible. However, the systems I have seen in Accords look properly integrated into the dash so maybe this isn’t possible?
Also, if I could/did rip out what is there, would I lose control of other aspects of the car? For example, is the display used to control heating etc?
