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. |

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. |

Yes, this is true, if you turn it off, it will pick up where you left off when you turn it back on. But this is NOT the same as Pause. First of all, it is more wear and tear on the system than pause would be, and 2nd, it takes about 10 seconds longer than pause would take. Maybe this sounds like nit-picking, and it is, but nevertheless it is a crappy design for a cd player. And that heat issue is something that is NOT nit-picking. |

Well, perhaps it doesn't meet your standards, maybe it doesn't meet a LOT of folks' standards. I have to ask though, was it advertised as having a pause? It seems to me that were that such an important matter to you, you'd have done your due diligence and checked it out. Again, that's not a shot at you necessarily but you're obviously so worked up about it that I feel my comment is valid. Shame on you, not on Honda. It would be shame on Honda if you stood here telling one and all that "I'll never buy a Honda since the boobs don't bother to put a pause control on their CD player!" > Maybe this sounds like nit-picking, and it is, but nevertheless it is > a crappy design for a cd player. And that heat issue is something that > is NOT nit-picking. Maybe, maybe not. The CD's in my home stereo component system get hot. The CD's in my Corvette's and Buick Park Avenue's CD players get hot. The CD's in my mini-component stereo at the office get hot. The CD's in my wife's Bose system at home get hot. Lastly, I have six CD's in the changer in my '06 Accord that have been in there for at least six months. Happens that I played a couple today while on a trip. No sign of a problem. Neither has there been any sign of a problem with CD's in any of the other players - static or mobile - mentioned above. As a matter of fact, I think the ONLY CD player I've ever owned that DIDN'T significantly raise the temperature of the CD's therein was a Sony Discman I once owned - of course, that doesn't count the times it was left in the sun out by the pool<g> |

I'm not talking about "hot", I'm talking about OVERLY hot, hot that will probably end up damaging the cd's and/or cd player. I think the heat is from the heater, and somehow they have not protected the cd player sufficiently from the heater. |

The thing is, I'm doubtful it could have fallen off already, it's only had about 60 miles on it when I posted that. Meanwhile, what's a TSB?

A TSB is issued when there is a wide problem that isn't recall worthy. Apparently it's happening enough that it's been identified as a known issue and rather than having each tech troubleshoot it, they issue a TSB so techs can check that first thus saving time (which means saving money). If a TSB was issued for this, only having 60 miles on it means nothing. It could have happened while the vehicle was being trucked to the dealership. |
