Very nice car!!! The only beef I have with the Accord is the horrible leather wrapping, the one I test drove was 10x worst than yours.

Great cars overall, the only thing that made me step away was the 40 grand price tag on the EX-L V6.

The current Accord coupes are just simply the best looking affordable 2-door available right now.

I almost bought one of those cars, in that color (BBP) as well.

I guess my question is why didnt you try to integrate the navi into the stock location?

I bought everything on amazon and it was $65. I think the dash kit alone was about $40.

Where the video screen is on the NAV models is when my AC display is. it would have to have been custom.

You'd be surprised how easy it is(for me at least knowing what I'm doing lol). It looks like a lot so it's intimidating, but it's real straight forward.

You bought an aftermarket head unit and probably didn't change ANY of the settings in it. Of course the new head unit doesn't sound as good. Tuning is EVERYTHING(except install but that doesn't apply here lol) in getting the most out of your new audio equipment. I can't believe someone just plugs something in and says "this isn't as good as what I replaced" and ditches it. You need to read the manual, learn your new head unit, and get the settings right. It's not perfectly set for every audio system in the world out of the box.


On the other hand....you have other fingers.
