Re: New Honda owner
I got the same reply when I asked about 2007 Accord Navi beeping every 12
seconds."Did you read the manual that came with your toy"? Of course I did.That is the reason I am asking this newsgroup.Maybe I missed something and am looking for additional info. That poster never did reply back after I replied,so I guess he was busy eating crow.

It was an honest question; a lot of people don't check the manual. Answering questions about how to turn on the headlights can be a big drag on an auto forum. After determining you had read the manual we can try to provide the additional info and even learn about it ourselves. Personally, I avoid getting involved in questions from people who are short with others who try to help - I ditched the "kick me" sign long ago. Mike |
