I'm not sure whether you're joking there or serious but seeing as there is a lack of smilies I'l assume you're serious. The main reason people change the system over is that to an audiophile the factory accord system is dreadful.

The headunit is very noisy (except with a zero signal) and it's S/N ratio is quite low. This results in quite a lot of hiss and whine through the speakers. The factory speakers are inadequately fed and cannot reproduce accurate midbass without the decks internal amplifier loosing control due to an extremely low damping factor in order to squeeze a little more volume from it.

All in all, a fantastic system for your average (music wise) Joe but to someone who is padantic about high end audio, the factory unit simply does not cut it. :(:(

are there any other way to get a better sound out of the factory HU on euro???? ..... cos i really want the button on the steering >>WORK<<...:o

[PERTH_EURO]

you can also get a kit to control aftermarket decks from steering wheel.

Was expensive tho i think, considering that with the above mentioned single din kit fitted, when ur hand is on the gearstick the deck is within reach.

[stephen8512]

so if u connect an aftermarket headunit, what happens to ur factory one? does that stop working? i.e disconnected and no power runnning to it? what happens to is?

[PERTH_EURO]

as posted in ipod thread

the factory cd etc is all still fully powered and displays as normal, but no sound comes out.

I use it as a 6 disc cd holder for my tune selection.

[jonolee]

do u think its possible to install a double din deck with that placement? mmm i wanted to fit a deck actually into the comparment so i can open and close it whenever i felt, a stealth installation

[PERTH_EURO]

double din would have to be custom.
I dont think you can keep the door tho.

Pop into your local stereo shop and ask... easy really

Most people on this forum buy them from us and they cost AU$50. The $35 is US dollars. :)
