I can understand that. Another problem is a lot of people don't care
about music that much in their cars, so the service people don't realize
what a hardship it is for someone like me to be stuck listening to the
radio for a month instead of being able to play my own music, either
through my cds or my iPod.

I'd be happy to relieve Honda of the problem by buying a better audio
unit, if I could find one that actually fit into a TSX. With so many
audio problems, one would think Honda fans would know about good audio
replacements, but I guess the TSX isn't exactly the car that
enthusiastic music fans usually buy.

I would call Crutchfield and see what they have to say:

answer for me tomorrow

Such as?

My second Accord (excuse me for intruding in the Acura group!) in a
row, it seems the audio loses volume with age, or something. And
isn't that well designed in the first place to be heard over wind
noise. I complained to the dealer on the previous one, they just
shrugged and said it seemed fine to them.

Good to know, thanks.

Though I just lease the things, so doing mods esp when still under
warranty, seems contraindicated. But I've sure seen and heard some
zippy aftermarket units in other people's cars!

Poor radio reception is the number one thing I see.

I don't think I've ever used the non-satellite radio in mine. I assume
it works.
