Complaint about 2007 Honda LX pre-installed cd player
 

I have looked and looked and I see no way to PAUSE a cd with this
player! There is no PAUSE button!

My old car had a cheapie cd player and even it had a pause button, so
that when I am listening to, say an audio book, and I get interrupted
to pay a parking lot fee or some other quick interruption, I could
just hit pause and resume quickly after I paid the fee.

But this cd is the only cd player I've ever seen in my life that
doesn't have a pause button.

Very annoying.

Also, I took a cd out last night after playing it for less than an
hour and the cd was HOT! I know cd players generate a certain amount
of heat, but man, this thing was hot! Does not bode well for the life
of the cd player, I fear. And probably isn't all that good for my
cd's, either.

Guess I'll add this in my letter to Honda about the annoying and ugly
child seating stickers on the visor.

Otherwise, I love my new Honda, and admittedly I'm nit-picking here,
but for $17k+ I expect things to be nice.

According to your Owner's Manual: If you eject the CD but do not remove it,
ten seconds later the system will automatically reload it and place in in
Pause mode. You then press CD to resume.

Yeah, I agree. Pretty hokey.

Just a wild GUESS, but is your 'Honda' a Civic? There's a TSB about the
plastic air vent falling off the heater and cooking the contents of the
dash.

Additionally, if this unit works like the one in my '04 Civic, you can
simply turn the radio off, and when you turn it on again it will start
playing at the point where you turned it off.

Did you check the owner's manual?

I believe you'll find that if you press the center button and turn the
CD Player/Radio off while a CD is playing, when you turn it back on it
will start up in the same place.

I rarely use the CD changer on my 06 Accord but I'm pretty sure that's
the way it works.
