Just wonder if anyone had any experience of installing the OEM nose mask for the subject vehicle. If so, did you folks had any problems in that it would scratch the paint? What is your preference, half or full nose mask? Your input will be greatly appreciated.

I just leased a new 2005 accord ex sedan with the am/fm cd changer. I was thinking of having an after market XM radio set added. Does anyone know if the radio that is in the accord is xm ready? I looked at the tweeter website and noted that tweeter has the satellite unit and adapter for $49.00...

I don't have a Helm's service manual yet. Does anyone know the lug nut torque ft-lbs for 16" alloy wheels on a 2005 Accord EX V6? Thanks

I am thinking of replacing the rear speakers on my accord Are the rear 6x9 speakers full range? has anyone replaced them? what was the result thanks for the info rickb

Hi, got a 05 accord w/ 4000 miles on it (4 cylinder engine), I've recently noticed that after the engine has warmed up and I'm idling in DRIVE, I can feel slight vibration from the steering wheel and a slight 'fluttering' sound from the engine, when I put the gear in neutral or park the...

I am about to buy a new Accord (2005 V6). I am still deciding on whethere to get the Honda navigation system. To anyone who owns a 2004 or 2005 Accord, can you share any raves or gripes about the system and whethere you would make the same purchase decision again? Thanks

I wrote a thread on this before, but when I was cleaning the inside front, I noticed that the plastic part with the Honda logo (grille) was a little more flimsy than I recalled before. I also looked down the hole where the trigger to lift the hood up is located and I noticed four holes on the...

My Accord is pretty noisy on the freeway. I can't tell if it is from the Michelin tires or just the way Hondas sound. It definitely detracts from hearing the radio etc. Is there something that can be done to reduce the noise level?

I remember back in 1999 when I bought my accord ex v6, it has this really great window glass called solar tint glass. The great thing about it was in the summer you could barely feel the suns rays. I was wondering if the 2005 accord ex also has this feature? I just bought a 2005 accord ex sedan a...

Hello, I have a 2005 Honda Accord Ex Sedan, Automatic with 13,800 miles on it, and since I got it when I reach 75-80 mph there is this faint whining coming from the engine that sounds a little like a turbo charger. I have it in D using all 5 gears when this happens and use Shell Plus 89 octane...

Is the 2005 Accord iPod-friendly, or not? I don't own an iPod, but given the iPod's large installed base, and the high quantity of iPod-friendly car stereo interfaces these days, it makes sense to me to think about this as I plan for my next car. I'm leaning toward an Accord sedan (haven't yet...

I have two 2005 Honda Ciciv LX Special Editions. No. 1 gets 31mpg overall, No. 2 is usually 22 mpg overall, with a best tank at 25.8 mpg. I purchased it used with about 14,000 miles and immediately noticed the gas gauge plummeting, the needle going below E and the gas light came on. A fill up was...

I've owned my Hybrid for about a month. No problems until today when I noticed that the A/C compressor seemed to "click" on and off, alternating between 72 degree cool air and warmer, more humid air. I do not have "ECON" turned on, as I am away that in "ECON" mode the compressor will shut off...

Hello : My civic hybrid is only averaging 35 MPG, hardly good enough to justify the extra cost for a hybrid car. Can anyone make any suggestions for improvements? Thanks Matthew

It brakes straight, but there is a definite tendency to the left and I don't mean just on hard acceleration. Is this alignment or something else? Tire or dragging brakes?

I got a EX SE sedan a few weeks ago and it had bad vibrations. Dealer took a shot at balancing and it didn't work. Today (2nd visit), they gave me the wheels off a new vehicle. It drove great. I get home and I start thinking...hmmm, I have to be sure...so, I rotated the wheels. Damn it! I...

Hi All, After lurking here for a while, I'm going to take care of the final paperwork on a 2005 Civic Sedan LX (auto trans). Yeah! Now the new paranoia. Any thoughts on things like an autolock (attaches to the break) or the lawman's car bar (which also wraps the airbag)?

If anyone's interested, Honda of Essex (West Caldwell, NJ) has a really nice looking black '05 SI on their showroom floor (as of 02/17, anyway).

I just picked up a 2005 Civic SI Sedan (I previously had a 2003 Civic LX Sedan). I will be trying to install an after market MP3 Player in lieu of the factory CD that came with the car. In my 03 Civic, the dash panel that houses the Radio/HVAC controls was simple to remove, all one had to do...
