arronng, people may be waiting on the reply of your new battery.
lol.

LOL! I replied in the wrong thread. I did it in the grounding kit thread.

Update: I just replaced the stock 300CCA battery with an ACDelco 430CCA battery. Changing to a higher rated battery of the same size does not solve the dimming lights issue. However, I noticed that the dimming is not as bad now but it is still there. Guess it's the alternator.

But.... starting the car is a bit easier! It takes about 2 turns of the starter motor to get it started, and so far, there has not been any struggling once started.

Another quick question indirectly related to replacement batteries:
Does the headunit/radio/CD audio system require a code or PIN when the power is disconnected like most radio security systems?

[destrukshn]

yes, i'm quite sure it does need a code.
if you ever need that code, just call up your honda dealer, and they should be able to tell you, btw, you should of just started a new thread, so people in future and seearch it and find it.

when i installed the volt stabilizer(had to disconnect the battery), I didnt enter any code and the radio just worked instantly. Maybe there is something wrong with my headunit?

[destrukshn]

maybe euro's are different? or maybe you can enable em or disable them.

The Euro 03-05 models don't for some reason. Even the TSX non-navi audio system require a code.

I emailed the dealer ...
'The stereo system isn’t designed to be removed easily and are fully integrated into the dashboard, eliminating the need for a security code'.

Funny thing is that the same applies to the TSX unit. But I guess over there, they steal everything.

nah i didnt require i code for mine when i changed my stock battery to a yellow top optima D34 battery. it just fits in there but i duno what im going to do when i update my air intake as theres not much room. it took a while to get my drycell battery to get going as it was out of action for about a yr. it was in my 2002 corolla, which had a customed system until it got written off lol. now shes just like brand new. ill post up pics when i get the chance and you guys can let me know what you think.
