[cu2] Retail accessory prices.

[Type R Positive]

Hi all,

Just read through the price list that you guys posted. Very good reference. Thank you!

Are these accessory prices up-to-date?

I've got a quotation from last week, they are far more expensive than the ones you guys listed.

bargain with them mate. take a list in with you!

Can you not just buy these accessories online?

I don't think you can get the genuine parts online. Not sure.

You can from the States or Japan.

[kevinw]

Hmmm... only if the postage is cheap.

No warranty buying from overseas too.

I was just wondering because they don't sell the iPod/USB accessory for the Accord here in the US. Would be nice if a retailer in Australia would start selling Honda accessories online like many do here in the US.

I guess not.
Different dealers are selling the accessories at different prices (not at RRP).

Even if they do sell online, I think they would only sell to the local market.

I always thought there are more accessories in the US, and we have to get them from there!

Why don't you just get the iPod accessories on other brands? Honda doesn't specializes in iPod/USB stuff. So far I don't see anything on a Honda that the third party brands cannot handle.

[PortableCow]

You have to have the honda ipod/usb accessory to get full control and integration with the radio and display... i.e. being able to navigate your iPods menus with the radio's select knob/menu button

Oh I see...
I just plug in the machine and play.

Do you mean the "iPod® Music Interface"?
That's the only iPod option I can find on the accessories list.

Hi guys, just new on here as I am only currently negotiating buying a new Euro. Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but it seemed relevant to my question.

I'm pretty sure I'm going the standard model as I think it is probably better value, but would like to have some add ons - would like hid's and alloys, but can't justify the extra bucks for the other stuff I don't need on the luxury.

This accessories list is awesome for justifying prices, but for guys that have had your Euros for a while, are there any specific accessories you would go for - or stay away from?

I was thinking :
Parking sensors (mandatory for the wife)
Floor mats
Door handle scratch protectors
Mud guard set
Bonnet protector
Headlight protector
Alloys

Plus I don't understand the Ipod thing - I thought they had a USB port in the console?

Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers,
Homer

1. There are no HID upgrade for standard model
2. Standard get 17" alloy wheels (and u can only upgrade to another 17" alloy with different design - not worth it)
3. Door handle scratch protector was quoted as price above (when I purchase my car) for EACH door!!! (not worth it)
4. There's no USB port on the Head Unit console. There's an AUX input but the IPOD connector gives u ability to use the Head Unit to control your Ipod.

Hope this helps

Thanks mate...seems a lot of money to pay when you can run it off your iphone/ipod anyway?

Good news on the alloys... well saves me money...I thought it must have also been a size upgrade to maybe 18" or something.

I think I'll get an after market hid kit eventually anyway...anyone know the bulb style H4/H7???? I'll get some 55w 6000k's if they have em for the Euro.

Hoping for some more helpful comments like these...already saved some potentially wasted bucks
