    Starter Woes

    So, my OEM Starter, p/n 31200-PAA-A01, shows as discontinued some places online but available at others like Bernardi Honda for $316.10. Besides a OEM starter, are there any Premium Reman options?

    Starter Woes

    Awhile back, within a couple of weeks of having the Clutch and Flywheel replaced in my 02 Accord, the OEM Honda starter began not engaging intermittently. At the time, $ was tight so I bought a Ultima reman starter from O'reillys with a lifetime warranty. Upon installing it, I immediately...

    Crutchfield Metra Dash Kit Question

    Yes, I plan on getting one soon hopefully. Am leaning towards the KTP-445U instead of the KTP-445A as it is also bridgeable to 90 Watts x 2 @ 4Ω. Figure I'd try it both ways - feeding all four speakers 45 Watts each then just the Infinity Primus PR9603is 6"x9's at 90 watts each to see which...

    Adding Steering Wheel Audio Controls

    The remote is optional for the Alpine and wouldn't really be much use to me.

    Adding Steering Wheel Audio Controls

    Well, I guess the original owner bought it and put it in. It's a moot point as I've upgraded to the Alpine and am going to live without wheel controls due to the expense of adding them.

    Adding Steering Wheel Audio Controls

    This is not my photo but my wheel looks exactly like this one from an 02 Accord SE. The second photo is also not mine but is the same as the AM/FM/CD that came with my car when I purchased it from the original owner. There was no Cassette unit below, just the stock storage bin with the flip-down...

    Adding Steering Wheel Audio Controls

    I bought the car from the original owner and a Honda AM/FM/CD was in it. Not going to pursue steering wheel controls due to excessive cost.

    Adding Steering Wheel Audio Controls

    I was told the only function I would get would be Volume Up/Down. That limited functionality combined with the cost of the required 3rd-Party adapter circuit makes it a waste of time/$ in my opinion.

    Adding Steering Wheel Audio Controls

    My 02 Accord LX came with a AM/FM/CD Head Unit from the factory but did not come with the Steering Wheel Audio Controls. I recently upgraded to a Alpine UTE-62BT Digital Media Receiver and also upgraded the speakers. The Alpine owners manual states the unit is compatible with most factory...

    Trunk letting in water

    No advice, Huh? I guess no one else has ever had this problem or else maybe these forums are just dead/dying?

    Trunk letting in water

    Am also having this issue with the PS trunk tail light on my 02 LX. I pulled both the tail lights and the corner turn/brake/tail lights and carefully cut new gaskets from 1/8" closed-cell foam and reinstalled. After the next rainstorm, I go to open the trunk and water pours out of the PS trunk...

    Crutchfield Metra Dash Kit Question

    The Alpine UTE-62BT Digital Media Receiver came today and I installed it along with a pair of Infinity Primus PR9603is 6"x9's in the rear deck and a pair of Polk Audio DB 652 6.5's in the front doors. Display readability of the Alpine is much, much better than the Pioneer MVH-X580BS I returned...

    Crutchfield Metra Dash Kit Question

    The Pioneer Media Receiver turned out to be a POS so I'm returning it and exchanging it for a Alpine. Hopefully, spending $75 more will net me a decent sounding unit with a display I can actually read in Daylight...

    Tint Removal Issues

    Attempted to remove the bubbled, looking like crap tint off my rear glass and am having issues. Used a garment steamer on the upper portion in combination with a heat gun on the lower section and it appears only one layer came off as there is an opaque layer with bubbles remaining that neither...

    Crutchfield Metra Dash Kit Question

    Figured out that you can indeed install in the stock location without using that POS Metra garbage.
