I've been following this thread and stayed out of it until now. Would I be upset if my radio/cd lights took a crap? You bet! Would I follow the advice to call Honda to see if they would work with me/meet me halfway? You Bet! (Has this been done yet by you, mpopeskov??)
If they said "no you're out of warranty" I'd be pissed but no amount of moaning and groaning would fix the problem.
It's like bitching continuously about a cut finger.......it won't help it heal any faster so deal with it!
The choices are: remanufactured unit, aftermarket unit, new Honda unit, or leave it the hell alone and deal with it.
No one here is calling you stupid, it's quite obvious you are an intelligent person.....the fact that you speak more than one language confirms that. Nothing in any of the posts was intended to be offensive to you, so don't take offense.
We welcome you here and want you to remain but no amount of complaining will cure the problem. Let it go, repair it, or forget about it.
