From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

They sell aftermarket ceiling flip-down ones. Some have DVD and some just have HDMI in. There are a few on Amazon including this one: 13.3 inch Car Overhead Monitor FHD Digital TFT Screen 1080P Video Car Overhead Player Roof Mounted Monitor HDMI Port White New Version https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YHKCWG1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_5Y9DEBWYFVEK1AM202VG

Is what I bought for my 05.

Yea, basically. It covers the entire back when the rear seats are stowed. You can even order one on Amazon Honda Genuine Tray, Cargo https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071FK25YT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_VKSSVTFSW2WQYESR82Z3

This. I followed these videos and put the rails and crossbars on our 2021 EXL back in April. The assembly was slightly different because it's the newer model. It actually seemed a little easier than the video. It took a couple of hours but I went very slowly and triple checked everything.

I got a Jeggs carrier off Amazon. I didn't want to spend too much knowing we'll only use it once or twice a year. It held our dog crates, beds, and food with room to spare. 4 hours each way to the beach going 60-75 mph and had no problems.

I got these headphones from Amazon and the remote from here at hondapartsnow

Yes, EX and EX-L have shades.

Is weather tech worth $480? Or I should get my own if I can fight that?
Spend $130 like I did and you'll be plenty happy with them:

What else I should pay attention to when I am at the dealer?
Get your own financing from a credit union (I got a 2% rate). Work the deal with the dealer as usual and negotiate based on the price of the vehicle (not monthly payments). Then right before they take you to the finance office, tell them you changed your mind and you have financing arranged. They make at least 1 point of interest (sometimes up to 3) on your loan. You don't want this. But they won't budge on the price if they know they aren't going to make money on the finance side. Essentially you are a cash buyer to them, which they don't like.

I use this, which are similar but has a magsafe connection. I mount it on the left-side vent. https://smile.amazon.com/PROfezzion-Magnetic-MagSafe-Compatible-Included/dp/B09QGLK3PQ/ref=sr\_1\_1\_sspa?crid=30RFLHSGPU8WW&keywords=iphone%2Bmagsafe%2Bcar%2Bmount&qid=1670431149&sprefix=iphone%2Bmagsafe%2Bcar%2Bmount%2Caps%2C135&...

If you haul a lot of people and gear, enhanced bump stops. Sounds silly, but it completely changed how the van rides in a good way when loaded. My original bump stops were destroyed when I removed them. Very easy to do. Timbren: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004UR38GM/

Enthuze @ Amazon

I bought this one from Amazon (Canada). Have used it for a fully loaded cargo rack so far. Easy to install (once I cleaned the rust out of the weld nuts in the Odyssey frame). I don’t tow trailers but same I put it on for cargo rack and bike hauling.

Links: dongle

CD tablet mount

I did notice my iPhone wasn’t receiving enough power when connected via usb through tablet- so I added a separate MagSafe charging mount for the phone.

Sorry, was referring to an OBD code scanner so you can see what any Check Engine lights are for. Very cheap and can put your mind at ease or help understand any isssues.

The one I have in each vehicle. I use with the “OBD Fusion” app on Iphone. $19 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WPW6BAE?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_WRBEVJXF8F68HT51JEK3

The more capable “mechanic” level one I use. Does bi-directional control and communications and can interface with all the systems on the vehicle, even TPMS, Electronic Parking Brake, etc. $159. Foxwell NT530 https://www.foxwelldiag.com/products/foxwell-nt530?gclid=Cj0KCQjwgYSTBhDKARIsAB8KukuIxdz5q7hBaUrM1cfsoMfD_r5YFGa9D1bQptswlKQ8gFoqRgqnRnsaAu8kEALw_wcB

I would use something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QZRKXSL

The penny thing is normal. The Honda batteries have slightly thicker battery posts than the aftermarket batteries, so when you buy a battery from the store, the posts aren't as thick so the terminal ends up being loose. They sell battery post shims at the auto parts stores that are designed for that. I'd use those.

Yuuuup that's the reason why your alternator is taking a dump. I guess it was right at the dipstick. Thought it was higher up. Your alternator is most likely caked with oil.

Like the other user said most mechanics will replace the whole assembly. But that's only needed if it starts to leak again after the gasket replacement. As something is actually damaged on the assembly. Honda will not replace just the gasket, they will replace the whole assembly.

When my alternator went bad, it sounded pretty terrible, but not as bad as this. At times, it would shoot sparks from where the bearing was. It was replaced very soon after. I did it myself - not a tough job. You don't need to remove the front panel or radiator. It can come out if you close your eyes and use the Force. :) (instructions here: https://youtu.be/HrmFudratBc)

If you're trying to diagnose specifically what is making that noise, I suggest using an automotive stethoscope like this one made by Lisle: https://www.amazon.com/Lisle-52750-Stethoscope-Kit/dp/B0015DLMOO/ref=asc_df_B0015DLMOO/ I have this, and have used it on a few of my cars to pinpoint failed bearings and other noises. It allows you to really hone in on both mechanical and non-mechanical noises; there are two attachments - a probe and a cone for listening. Highly recommend. Good luck!

It's you have the ability, do the stuff yourself for the plugs and coil packs, it's going to save you probably $600.(if the code reader points to that).

Here is a link for basic code reader that does the job well and is cheap.

I personally have moved springs to new stuts, but use a compressor with u bolts like this. less likely to be a safety hazard than the hook ones for low cost. Alltrade 647089 Strut Coil Spring Compressor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0015UWXIQ/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_7JWZVWTASHXKB9V6FWWF

This is mine. I luv it!

Used a marine USB 3.0 port extender, and hollowed out the factory 3.5mm port to mount it. Took out the 3.5mm port, cut the back off with the bandsaw, drilled a .75" hole, and fed it through and to the back of the head unit. I wanted a secure spot to hook into for CarPlay.

It's a little bit off center because the forstner bit walked, as the hole when you remove the aux in is too wide. A spade bit would have been a better choice.

Entire thing took about thirty minutes and cost less than $10.

It’s not a perfect fit but I got these for organization

Sammy & Lou Felt Diaper Caddy... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073FZV93X?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Purse Organizer Insert with Lots... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H2545QP?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

A purse organizer I think is definitely the way to go for the console!

We noticed a similar problem. With our 2022. I do notice some improvement with this screen protector https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08RXT7R1S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_BB8S1CEARG8A1GVJSMPR?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I was tired of all the finger prints. Works well.

It was the biggest I could find on Amazon in order to see more AND keep an eye on my kids. It had a high rating and was inexpensive. I absolutely love it and couldn’t go back to the default mirror.

This is the one I have:

2017 Odyssey here:

1. USB hub in the cigarette lighter (for more USB ports)
2. Dash cam
3. My entire MP3 collection on a mini USB drive
4. Larger rear view mirror
5. Cellphone holder
6. Extra charging cable for me and passenger

• Thinking of getting a longer lightning cable and use it to charge an old iPad for kids in the back loaded with kids shows and movies

• if anyone wants to add Bluetooth to their older Odyssey, I highly recommend this:

​

That's the filter you want and I believe this might be an 02-04 Odyssey only filter.

Sorry, I didn't see that it was for a 2016. Mine is a 2020, I'm not sure if they sell them for the previous generation. This is a link to the ones I bought, maybe you can find one that will fit from the same company?

I bought this for my various gadgetries and as an added bonus, it shows how much voltage my 12v battery has at all times (whenever I am driving) for my 2012 odyssey and I noticed that for my 2020 Odyssey, it would be initially at 14.3v (which is normal while driving) but would usually then drop down to 12.6v or thereabouts and remain there even though my engine is on...

I am keeping eye on this and hope others can confirm if that is happening with their 2020 Odyssey as I cannot recall if my 2012 ever drop to 12v with the engine running (driving).

If the cloudy yellow is on the inside of the lens cover assembly it's likely you won't be able to get inside to clean or repair them. You can pick up a new set at <strong>Amazon</strong> or <strong>eBay</strong> though.

Really like it.

Try ebay or Amazon. This particular seller even shows you how to program the key fob.

P.S. Read reviews and try to purchase from the seller directly through their website, if available, they get a better cut.
