1997 Honda Accord
I'm trying to have a new audio deck installed in my 1997 Honda Accord LX because the one I had before was stolen. The feature that I am mainly concerned about this time around is the faceplate being detachable, to prevent another theft. I found a higer priced Sony one that I really like, but when I tried the vehicle fit guide, there wasnt an Accord LX option, just an EX one. Is this the model that most closely fits my car or should I choose the standard Accord option?
There are hardly any detachable faceplates that fit my car if it belongs under the EX model, which is really depressing. I would hate to spend money on another deck just to have it stolen again...

Dear Youngam,
To be honest, don't trust the vehicle fit guide. Hondas are some of the most common cars we do installs on at our best buy and believe me, any single din will fit, with no problems at all. You can go from the 70$ JVC that we carry all the way up to the $259 Pioneer BT model we have; or any other single din stereo. All of the stereos Best Buy offers in the single din size have removable faces so parking your car outside or leaving it by itself, you can rest assured.
Now as far as which one to choose were u looking for ipod itegration so you can control it through the actual Head Unit? or did you want to just plug it in the AUX in the front of the face to control it. Some models have Bluetooth mind you, so if you want hands-free calling in your car i'd go for the Kenwood 742BT or even better the Pioneer 6100BT. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Btw when your old stereo was stolen, did they cut the wires? or were the theives nice and unplug the harness?
If they unplugged it, you're looking around 95$ parts and labor to install at a local best buy, if they cut it, i think its around 110. Call your local best buy to verify! hope i've helped.

The manual for the car says that it needs to be original CD's but I have purchased alot of the albums/songs I have from I tunes therefore not having the original CD. Can someone help me with this as I dont want to load each CD into the player to record and have some albums that I purchased off of I tunes that I would like to be on the hard drive.
Thanks Any Help is appreciated.If Honda says you need the original CDs, you need the original CDs.

Ideas for a car stereo/gps/Bluetooth for a 2006 honda accord
I need some ideas on how to get Bluetooth in my 2006 honda accord. I've been looking at car systems with gps and Bluetooth but it seems too expensive. I've also been looking at a Bluetooth device to install in the car. I just don't know how to install it or how to hook up the controls on the steering wheel. I've been to best buy....your sales people aren't that knowledgeable. The geek squad guy was but prices seem a bit high to install everything. I'm looking for opinions or if anyone has done the same to their 2006 honda accord.
alright well lets start off with some basics. are you using an Iphone or apple product? or are you using a android based unit?
with android it is a very big hit or miss on alot of the fuctions for your bt and or streaming music such as display of songs and such.
if you are using an apple device you should be solid, until a new update will make it not function properly. i say this because it seems that everytime there is an update apple gets rid of something that a customer of mine used and now doesn't have. regardless if you are an apple user you should be used to this by now though.

that product above will allow you to integrate into your factory stereo given that the certain radio that you have in your vehicle currently has the ability to. On the back of the box there are a few specifications for the radios to have. I don't have a box with me since i just sold my last one yesterday, but i know it has to have some buttons on the radio, and if they don't have the buttons unfortunately you won't be able to use this device, but on the box you will see those specs. I haven't really ever had a problem with the this module not working in a honda, but GM's and their module i have had some radios that customers have brought be and the device is not compatible with. Swing back into your local best buy ask them about the ISIM51 and getting that installed. yes it is expensive but i know your dash kit alone if you wanted to replace the stereo is wicked expensive also. hope this helps! thanks for the post. and also that price includes installation.
I am a CAR Geek Squad installer tech lead, but my views that i post are my own and not that of best buy. if you like my posts give me some kudos, if you need further help contact your local Geek Squad installation bay!
Please read my posts with a smile, cause thats how I write them.Although i have a cool avatar by my name, I am just a member of the community that works for Best Buy.

HT1476 iphone 5 usb does not charge in my 2013 Honda Accord. Is there a fix for this issue?
iphone 5 usb does not charge in my 2013 Honda Accord. Is there a fix for this issue? It will connect via bluetooth but when I go to connect the usb charger it states that it is not compatible or you never get the charging display on your iPhone 5. It charges just fine when I use the AC charger in the house. At first I thought it may have been the cord but the same cord works fine in the house too. This causes problems when you take long trips and don't have any way to charge your phone while on the road. Are there any upcoming fixes/iupdates either to the software or usb cord that will fix this?

IOS 8 no longer works with 2012 honda accord
I upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS 8.0.2. When I connect via USB, I no longer am able to use my car (2012 Honda Accord) controls to play music. Also, while it does connect via BlueTooth, making phone calls is very difficult, it takes much longer to connect to HandsFreeLink than in the past. I have deleted the BlueTooth connection and reestablished a new pairing. Still have sluggish behavior. Is this an iOS 8.0.2 issue? Or a Honda HandsFreeLink issue? Both?
I have a similar issue where I cannot get email on an iPad running iOS 8.0.2. With the exception for some odd reason emails came thru between the hours of 22:00 and 00:30 last night. This morning, same thing, no emails showing up on the iPad, it just spins. I'll have to check to see if calendar entries work.

My iphone 5s Bluetooth no longer works in my 2014 honda accord, ever since i updated the software two months ago. Can anyone help?
Problems with Bluetooth connections are generally traced back to the vehicle. If you search here in the forum you will find a number of posts with issues connecting with Honda vehicles. Try removing the phone from the vehicle's list of Bluetooth devices. Then try removing the vehicle from the iPhone's list of Bluetooth devices. Then place both devices back in discovery/pairing mode and try to connect them. You may need to take the device to the dealer to check for software updates.
Next, I understand it used to connect, however software updates for the iPhone will load the latest Bluetooth stack into the phone and vehicles do not always get updated as often. You can also check this support document for frequently asked questions and the other for additional troubleshooting instructions.

IPhone 5 not working properly with USB interface in Honda Accord.
The iPhone 5 seems not to work properly with the USB interface in my 2012 Honda Accord. It says I have 500 songs when I only have 430, it skips over songs and freezes during play.
I actually have a different problem. I am unable to play Pandora through my USB connection in my 2012 Honda Accord SE with my iPhone 5. I can't get map directions through my speakers or any sounds at all. Any idea if a fix will be available?

Problem with IOS8 update and my 2013 Honda Accord
Updated my iPod touch with IOS8 and now it acts weird while connected to the stereo of my 2013 Honda Accord with a USB cable. When I start the car and set the stereo to iPod, it will grab a random song from the iTunes Library and start playing it. I can manually change the music on the iPod but the stereo display still shows the random song title and none of the stereo controls (including those on the steering wheel) will control the iPod. The random song title will stay on the stereo for a random length of time. I will be changing the music selection from the iPod and all of a sudden the stereo display will show the correct song and the radio controls will work. Something is missing here regarding the communication between the car stereo and the iPod. Anyone hear of a Honda software update to work out the bugs?
Contact Honda. Sometimes an IOS update breaks compatibility
Also sometimes this helps:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

Connecting iPod to audio system on new Honda Accord
I tried to connect my eight-year-old iPod to the audio system on a new Honda Accord and got the message "Unsupported." The instructions on how to do this are not complex. Any idea why my iPod shows up as unsupported, other than its age? Any solutions?
Possibly age. I just looked up "A1136" and that seems to be a 5th gen iPod (the "iPod video"). It's old, but that model was often the cut-off for support (for being supported). The only way to find out what your car's audio system officially supports is to find the specificaltions.
If the car audio system has a mini-stereo jack as an aux. audio input, you can connect your iPod from the headphones jack to the aux. input using something like this
http://www.amazon.com/Monster-iCable-Player-Auxiliary-Input/dp/B002AR5XIK
For an older iPod, that may be a better way to connect it, because it is simple. There is no interaction between car system and iPod taking place. The iPod just needs to play music like always, except it is playing through the car system instead of through your headphones. -

IPad2 - not charing in automobile - 2011 Honda Accord
Can anyone tell me if there's a limitation to charging the iPad2 in a 2011 Honda Accord? I have three power outlets and when I plug in the iPad it says it's not charging. iPhone does, not iPad. Is this a limitation to this vehicle? Is there any work around/solution? I'm using iPad as GPs - love it, and need to mainting power.
Although you get the message it's not charging, it is trickle charging. Suggest you fully charge using the AC power adapter before using the iPad in the car.
The quickest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter. When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode. Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes.

When I try to pair my nano with my 2013 Honda Accord, they don't even recognize each other.
As far as I know, that is not supported via Bluetooth.

DroidX dropping Bluetooth connections with 2010 Honda Accord
I hope soneone has an answer for this one.
My phone drops the bluetooth connection with the HandsFreeLink in my car (2010 Honda Accord w/Nav) after a period of time (20-30mins). The phone call is still active. Only the bluetooth connection is cutoff. The car will not recognize the phone until I either shutoff and restart the car or pull the battery on the phone and reboot it. This does not happen with my wife's motorola flip type phone.
Any help would be appreciated.Thank you all for posting your questions and concerns!
I can imagine how frustrating it gets when experiencing the Bluetooth connection problems! Just want to let everyone know our Product and Bluetooth Team are aware of the issues with connectivity since software update, and are working diligently to provide a permanent fix as soon as possible.
We will keep you updated!
Thanks for your patience, and for choosing Verizon Wireless! -
BLuetooth on Honda Accord LX: with my old iPhone 4S running ios 7, I had no issues. However, with iPhone 6 running ios 8.1 I can no longer get the list of categories (Songs, Albums, Podcasts) etc. It will play songs, randomly chosen, but there is no way for me now to choose anything, nor to play Podcasts. I have treied removing the device from both car and from iPhone and repairing but that did not help. Strangely, if I attach the phone to the USB connection in the car, then it does give me the category list. But then it appears to get confused between the phone as a blooth device and the phone as a USB device. Apparently many other car owners are having similar issues.
If you did a Restore as new device and the restored all of your apps and data you might have restored something that is causing problems on your iPad. I suggest restoring as new. But do not restore your apps and data until you can completely test the iPad to make sure it is working all right. Then add parts of your stuff back until you determine what might be causing the problem.
Also, the current version of iOS is 8.1.2. When you do the restore your should be updated to that version of the iOS.
