Hi All,

Work has finally given me a new (read 2nd hand!) 04/2008 Odyssey Luxury as a work car - so far very happy with it (black looks neat, but not sure on the cream interior).

Only things I don't like so far are the headlights don't stay on for a while at night when you get out of the car (even with auto light feature), and it's swallowed one of my CD's and won't give it back - do Honda not like Metallica? :p

It's a little different to drive than my old car, but doesn't offend me at all. This front paw thing will take a bit of getting used to! :cool:

Main thing I'm trying to find out (have had a search but can't seem to find anything on it) - is there a way of installing a bluetooth carkit into the audio system which mutes radio/uses car speakers. My previous car (a Falcon) actually had a plug to hook into, making the install easy...

Cheers,

RMB.

welcome.

04/2008 ODC, is it the current model (RB3) or the last model (RB1)?

Ummm, VIN is JHMRB1... so correctly assuming RB1?

welcome to family men section!!

JDM RB1 has original Honda BT option which is the same as those on CRV and Accord as i've seen. So i guess (don't quote me) it should be ok just prepare to hand over your arm/leg to Honda stealer.

btw, the OEM from grille looks sexy and not sure why i've changed mine......

A quick update - the only think I appear to have found is this from Ryda:

But not sure if there's something better out there (and I've never heard of this system before so was a little wary)
