i called our local Honda dealer, and they acted like they never heard of this problem before. 3 out of 4 Hondas have the same problem, its a fact, they said i would have to spend about $150.00 before they tell me whats wrong or how much it would cost,
prepare to spend $$$ 450.00 on an after market radio....

Im pissed off at Honda. My husband bought both our cars in the same night can you imagine the quota the sales person got that night. both cars over 40,000 dollars. Now both cars are having radio problems my car the radio will come on after the car has been shut off no key in the ignition at all. Now let me tell you about my husbands car his radio doesnt play all the time it turn on when it wants to he has to turn the car on and off to get the radio to play. can we get any support from Honda ? NOOOO they want us to pay to find out whats wrong with there radios in there cars I feel like Honda owes us as customers to wave the fee and find out what the problem is. Come on now how can two cars same year just different in color have radio problems.
Update from May 5, 2009: Well Honda never did anything about this radio. But be prepared its only the beginning for your Honda owners I had to pay 300 bucks for a after market dash kit and 80 bucks for a after market radio because I couldnt afford a factory radio the amps are bad in these Honda radios. I have ny bill to prove it of course Honda never did anything for me good luck you Honda owners can't say I will ever buy a Honda again........

The stereo has turned on and off for YEARS now. Honda dealer told me it would be 150$ just to find the problem and now I find this is a consistent issue not just for me. The car computer was reset and that seemed to help a little but it still happens. After the car warms up and runs for a while it is better but I hate it it's a brain worm in my life that really makes me miserable. My family gives me a hard time about it. I think it sucks that they don't cover it. I will end up spending a lot of money for a third-party stereo now.
