Hello m8, greetings from Serbia. I have a Accord type S, 2003 prefacelift model, with electronic windows, BUT i cant open or close them with a key in lock or remotely via the key itself. Do u know why cant i do it, and is there any fix for it? Thanks in advance
After a 6 year gap, your videos have given me enough of a nudge to make me buy another Honda, this time a CL9. I've immediately fallen in love with it ❤️
4 months I have been trying to figure out why my trunk release button doesn't work. I thought it was broken since the car got crashed in the back. Then I saw this video, simple fix. Thank you dude just subscribed.
I hope this car holds up as well as my TSX manual bought new 3/10/2004 . Now with 91,000 miles it puts a smile on my face whenever I take it for a spin. Just a magnificent piece of motorcar.
@@KiwiCarLife yup, honestly, I have seen BMWs and other Germans with similar mileage or more still running around, the difference is some significant refreshed parts here and there, only normal wear and tear parts on the big H!
Thanks for the boot lock tip! I just presumed the exterior boot release button was stuffed on mine Found the little switch after watching this vid though and surely enough, it was in the locked position. Now I can finally open it from the outside as intended 🤘
Same here! Even the guy that sold me the car told me "oh, there's that one little thing you'll need to fix, because you cannot open trunk with the trunk button". 😄 Thanks alot!
Same thing happened to me and I've had my car for 7 years and the last 2 years I thought the boot latch was stuffed. Searched a heap of forums and such without any luck. I guess not all heroes wear capes!
Extras easter eggs: * lift the center console armrest and you will discover business card holders and maybe a pen holder from memory. * coin /lipstick compartment on drivers side just below the VSA button.
Some more features: (JDM version only?) The center console lid slides forward as an arm rest; great for handling the stick! There is a second hood pole hole, located towards the bottom of the bonnet on the drivers side; wider angle = better view! Disconnecting the cable running under into the front seat disables the seatbelt-not-fastened warning mechanism; less safe!
Almost 1-2 decades late dude =))). Great interesting info. I have a few updates for acura tsx, the wheel size is generally 215/50R17 and the trunk switch is inside Glove compartment. Small changes :)
Had that issue and changed nearly every suspension components and made no difference lol. Simple cv shafts on both sides fixed the problem and feels like a new car!! :D
There are more, if you press and hold aux button on the stereo it will turn the backlighting off like on saab nightpanel. And there is also a hidden menu on the radio screen that shows info from sensors, but i don't remember the exact button combination to activate it
Hold auto and dual buttons at same time with ignition off, turn on the car and release both buttons when started. You can then navigate the menu using the rear window defogger button to get all sorts even a digital speedometer!
Omg, I was convinced that my boot opener was broken. I had to work with the under seat handle and a key until I saw this. I toggled a button and it's working.
Hey man great video I’ve learnt a lot with my accord thanks to your videos, with the gauge cluster sweep, my RPM needle seems to have shifted anticlockwise by about 1/3 and I’m not sure how to shift it back in place, any ideas as to why this happens?
Good to hear! Regarding the needle, you might have to get a new cluster, or try pull the cluster apart and realign the needle. They just pop off and you can put them back on again in the right place
I have 2008 accord euro luxury, the owners manual have all instructions to enable/disable auto door locks when moved to Parking gear I followed all instructions but couldn't enable the function... Any thoughts??
@@justinvang875 you prolly have an aftermarket module for the window switch or your car is straight from Japan which has every feature in existence lol but really?
Yeah but in general the bigger the wheel the more it weighs. So if you go from an average 17 to average 18 it’ll weigh more. Look better sure, but be a slight detriment to performance
1:27 am .. saw the window down trick . Went outside in cold to try that on my 2004 euro r 😭😭😭😭 No Luck!!! Guess it doesn't work with earlier CL/7 Models
1:01 - I have Accord CU2 (2009) and when I press lock quickly release and press again and hold lock for a second or two - it closes all the windows (even on the roof).
hi mate..im also from nz..i also have a cl9 type S jdm..but the window remote on lock key on mine is not working..do you know how to fix it?thanks mate..
Oh wow I am not a huge fan of the stock wheels appearance wise but if they are indeed light I might not want to change them out. Maybe I should just give them a new color.
You are correct, but i did not know that and also there a bulb in the glove box and it light up when you put your light on. Thank you for your great video, love it.
Hi I really like your videos on these Honda Accords but miss a review/ride with the tourer of this model you have here (facelift 7:th gen ca 2006-08) and 2.4 automatic if available please! Cheers from Sweden :-)
You’d be better off buying halogen headlight housings and installing them in that. Personally I wouldn’t bother. LED beam patterns are whack and xenon is just as bright
@@felixchetlanddevries2998 small world huh - I know chris from the cl9 vs cu2 vid. When lockdowns over we'll film the cl9 vs diesel vid with that very car you're driving!
I have a 2008 Honda Accord driver side door lock is jammed up and I don't have a fob, the anti theft immobilizer is activated and I need help resetting it, can you please help me
Honda didn’t screw up as you mentioned for closing all windows with key fob, it’s for safety reasons, imagine there are children inside and one sticking their head out from the window that you can’t see, now imagine what will happen?
@@KiwiCarLife I read somewhere that only the European models (maybe?) allowed the remote roll-up feature. My 2010 TSX (Canada) only rolls up and down with the key in the door lock. Not sure why this feature was localized, but the reason I can't remotely roll up the windows is to avoid an accident where I might roll it up with someone's neck / arm sticking out.
Those stock Enkeis are heavy as hell and among TOP 3 ugliest rims ever, not only for Honda. This Accord however is one of the most reliable cars ever made. Literally MULE! Both CL7 and CL9 petrol engines and their manual transmissions are bullet proof.
The North American 04-05 TSX had a metal trim piece above the grill and the 06-08 TSX was updated without the metal trim. You might need a newer 06-08 hood if you want to install the updated +06 bumper on the 04-05 North American version.
@@KiwiCarLife It is a 2007 left hand drive version sold in Germany. The All Windows feature also doesn't work. But thanks for the video. Today I "fixed" the trunk lock of my fathers Accord after many years by turning the hidden switch in the trunk :-)
Kind of alarming how this is the second result for "ball joint failure Cl9 TSX Accord" - I wouldn't exactly call that a hidden feature, not once you'd want at least! Check your ball joints folks!
