Hi all,

Can anyone recommend a brand/model of stereo that would work for a 2001
Odyssey? Has anyone replaced one themselves? Our stereo just died and
the stealership says it needs to be replaced, apparently something shorted
inside. The problem is that the parking lights don't always turn off,
sometimes they remain on and it is supposedly caused by the "shorted" stereo
system.

Thanks,

Mike

This is pretty easy. The hardest part is getting the dash surround off,
and even that's not very hard.

Just go to Crutchfield, order something up, and they'll send you the
harness and the dash kit to go with it, along with full instructions on
how to get the dash surround off and put the stereo in. They also have
(well, had, anyway) superb tech support should you run into any issues.

If you've had issues with the sound, now's the opportunity to see about
better speakers, too.

the security system includes the stereo, so depending on what you put
in it may or may not work still.

That was the case on some older Civics (but not any more); it was never
the case on the Accords, and I don't believe it's the case on the
Accord-based Odyssey.

http://www.odyclub.com has many, many, many members who have swapped out
stereos.

Phone around to the wrecking yards. They have a computer network that
will find you one locally. There are also some good Honda stereos on
eBay. I have the instructions in pdf format to swap one. Just be aware
that you'll want the security code (for most models)

on the 1998-2002 accords if the factory stereo is removed the keyless
will work but secutity not unless some wiring is done.

Curly,

Thanks. I was thinking of getting something from Crutchfields, they have
adapters for the Odyssey (supposedly).

Where did you get your instructions from? Would you be able to send the
pdf file my way?

Thanks,

Mike
