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.

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, 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 have owned many cd players in my day. 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.

Ummmm, that's what I said. If it's a Civic, there's a TSB about the vent
falling apart and cooking the under-dash area.
