2005 Honda Accord

Tyrrell · Tyrrell

I'm in Cornwall, Ontario. $1200.00 is just for the LSD. I get a decent discount. I think retail is around $1500.00. Like i said in another post my dealer has NO problems with me modding my car. As long as quality parts are used and Honda parts if available they have no beef. It's going to be around $600.00 f...

Aaron · Aaron

No...most performance cars have a LSD in them which does help a lot with cornering. Essentially it allows for power distribution between the drive weels when cornering, which can equal much better handling on the road and esp on a track. Even the new Si has one actually... As far as LSDs and the 7th gen 6...

Sly · Sly

I've been talking (e-mailing) Phantom Grip about making an LSD for us 7th gen. drivers; they said they should be able to do it! Plus, once they do, it will be available for both trannies (yay, autos aren't left out in the cold). So if you guys have any info that might be useful let me know (post it up), I'll c...

Garrett · Garrett

Well guys thank you for being patient I finally got them out I was so concerned with taking the whole assembly out of the trunk I didnt pay attention to the little clasps holding the lens and housing together. It was a real bitch seperating them but they finally gave in, thank you cjolly for the scotch tap...

Colleen · Colleen

Yes I did get them out it was easy after I saw them in a lot of light... Not sure you can take the license trim off the 06 however the light is in 2 parts. The clear part you can see from the outside and the grey housing. Don't waste your time trying to take out the whole thing just open your truck and disconnect t...

Elspet · Elspet

Well I have the exact same problem and it doesn't look like anybody has figured it out yet so when I get home this evening I will take pictures as "I try" to take mine out. Everybody is saying it's easy but the holders in the pictures are not the same. If they were then yeah it would just take a sec....

Paise · Paise

well... I'm no camera expert... but to answer ur question to the extent that I understand, is to know the composition of light in your light source... i.e. to correct for headlight and taillight, they are filament based, and you actually get a spectrum of colour coming out, but it will be red dominant....

Evelina · Evelina

Yes but it doesnt help because of the metal tabs behind it are blocking any foward/back movement. I have tried maneuvering it any way I can but I get nowhere. I think joerocket is right, you can clearly see where the lens snaps onto the main bulb housing but it is very hard to work with looking upside down s...

Antony · Antony

On the clear top (first pic) it says remove with an arrow pointing right so I slide to the right and try to pull the left side but it is clipped to the plastic housing behind it (pic2). Removing the wire harness does nothing to help me pull out the housing. There is metal in between pic1 and pic2 so I cant push...

Quintin · Quintin

I want to put in some white LED's to illuminate the license plate but Im having a hell of a time with it. They are in some kind of plastic housing that is very difficult to work with because I cant even pull the housing out of the trunk. I paid about $7 per bulb and I would really like to put them in, has anyone ha...

Shanelle · Shanelle

like i said a few other things. this is what the ex has that the special edition doesnt. moonroof being the most expensive. something like 1200. ugh. but like ive previously stated. some people didnt want the sunroof. for whatever reason. be it a leaky one in the past or one more part to fix if it broke. bu...

Ormond · Ormond

Nope, the Special Edition is an LX with some goodies from the EX. In the past it's generally been the LX but with the moonroof, a bit better stereo, alloy wheels, and full power amenities (windows, locks, mirrors, etc.). The EX has 4 wheel disc brakes, where as the LX, LX-Special Edition, and Special Ed...

KBB says sugg retail $21,310 with trade in at about $18k. On NADA a 2005 SE 4cyl Accord w/ 8k says it retails at $20,300, trade in $17,725.00. I'm not sure what to go by. They are asking $17500 for the one I'm looking at and will 'certify' to get the 7yr warranty plus the interest rate drops 3 points on certif...

Shaun · Shaun

VIN Ends in CM71535A025420 It does have a spoiler, EX wheels. Carfax did come up as an EX. The dealership salesman (newbie)is kind of confused on it also - listing said 6cd changer, power seats etc. but does not have these options. The dash is black with silver trim and there are controls on the steering...

Olive · Olive

I currently have a 1999 EX Accord coupe 4cyl. I am looking at getting a 2005 Accord Coupe 4cyl from a Minneapolis Honda dealer- Vin is registered as an EX but this car does not have a sunroof,6 cd changer or power seats - Could they be customized like that? I assumed all EX's were better options ie: sunroof...

Maegan · Maegan

I wanted to post I bought the BlitzSafe HON/AUX DMX V.2X adapter and installed it in my 2007 Honda Accord V6 6-Speed EX-L. And so far so good, no ground loop problems, nice clean sound and my XM still works. So I have the 6 disc, XM, and Aux working fine. My one gripe is that it takes a few seconds for the Blitz...

Cassia · Cassia

This is sorta dumb question (but hey, I'm a n00b so that's OK!). My car has the MP3/WMA deck option from Honda. Is that considered a XM radio as far as input jacks go? Like, are the XM jack inputs the same as the MP3/WMA jacks? This is so I could get a Blitzsafe to hook up my iPod but still maintain use of the MP3...

Fannie · Fannie

It took me literally about 30 minutes to remove, install, and replace all the parts, the worst and the longest part for me was taking the plug off the XM plug and plug it into the y-cable. Other than that, everything went smoothly. Your second question...No, it doesn't affect your in-dash 6-disc chang...

Jonie · Jonie

I actually ran the wire from the back of the headunit into the arm rest and put the unit/adapter in there (drilled a hole under the cig lighter socket in there...basically put it there so I can still change the dip settings if I want). I then ran the dock cable and line-in cable from the armrest back throug...

Alene · Alene

Mine is in the armrest. When I want to use it I pull the cord out through that little phone charger hole (that is what that thing is for, right?). The 6 foot cable that runs from the stereo to the armrest and out of the charger hole is perfect because it gives you enough cord so you can pick up the mp3 player and...

Lyndi · Lyndi

So does the Blitzsafe only have a connection for the Ipod? I can't find a diagram or anything online... What I'd really like is for it to have a connection for the Ipod and an aux line in so that I could wire in a satellite radio later on down the road... Thanks for all the answers, glad I found this forum!

Alysha · Alysha

The dock connector is recommended because the dock outputs a line level signal. The headphone jack does not. The headphone jack into a line level input poses two problems - improper signal level and impedance mismatch. The latter helps introduce ground loops, which is why it's better to use the dock...

Shevon · Shevon

I'm going to buy one of these units soon. From what I've read, most people recommend getting some sort of dock connector to go from the ipod to the adapter; everyone says using the headphone jack rca cables hampers the sound quality, and you can't charge you're ipod at the same time. If I just got the head...

Francine · Francine

True Wolfpack, but it was a impulse buy at the dealer had the my car in for service and wanted it NOW. But I'm happy and look forward to canceling XM and saving $12.99 a month for inferior sound quality. Also the software does not have to be installed on your computer for the adapter to work, it is simply an o...

Meghan · Meghan

Hi, it's me. (Remember me?!) Anyway, Blitzsafe recently updated the adapter to accomodate XM. I was actually over at their facility a couple of weeks ago and we were doing some fine tuning and testing of the new adapter. They had some issues with some other cars but the Accord's adapter works pretty go...

Homer · Homer

I just installed the Honda Music Link for my iPods in my 2005 Honda Accord V6 w/Navi. The install was pretty straight forward with the detailed instructions the dealer provided me. Honda says that it is only designed for the '06, but it works perfectly with my car. Let me know if you have any questions. B...

Brent · Brent

Hi all...so from the sound of it, there's no easy way to get my ipod connected. I JUST bought a 2006 Accord EX V6...figuring it would have some kind of easy way to get my ipod connected like most other cars are starting to have...but no I miss my old car with the cassette deck I know they offer the "Hond...

Amedeus · Amedeus

easily, you most likely will store it below the storage compartment with some electrical tape s it does not rattle. The adapter is not very big, roughly the same dimensions as a cigarette pack albeit a little thicker. One thing I forgot to mention is that when you switch to a different function while us...

Micheal · Micheal

I would suspect that this may not work correctly unless the USASpec adapter knows how to disconnect itself from the bus when its not in use. This has been the problem with most Aux in adapters and Xm to date. If you go for it and it works let us know.

Marge · Marge

Thanks for the pictures. I am just about ready to order this, but want to make sure there are no issues with the XM if I get the splitter cable as well. I have heard that the XM has a lower level with some of the installs.
