If you can find out if there is just the standard ISO plugs on the back of the stereo, that will be a good clue. If it does indeed terminate in a 3.5mm jack plug, many aftermarket stereos come with an adaptor.

Many Honda and Rover steering wheels use a two-wire resistance changing system so most aftermarket units can learn the "code" from the wheel buttons. I daresay your Elysion uses the same sort of system. I bought a touchscreen jobby for my CR-V, came with a bespoke fascia piece so it all looks OEM, that would learn the steering wheel controls except i don't have them on the wheel. Did consider trying to retrofit a set of Rover buttons to the wheel but it has an IED on the steering wheel so probably doesn't have the spare ways on the "clock spring" aka rotary coupler.

Bonjour et bienvenue! Don't get excited, that's as much french as i know (except some words that are not in polite use!) but what parts are you in need of for your first gen Legend?

You just know the price of fuel will go up by 5p/L (minimum!) to cover that as well!

For most cars, the VIN is also on a plate visible through the windscreen, usually passengers bottom corner. Not sure if a JDM car will have it in the same place but don't see why not.

Part of their job description sadly. They also have a nasty habit of picking things - my Nissan 300C developed a hole in the door card padding as testimony to that fact!

That was going to be my second suggestion if the fob hadn't worked - didn't realise you didn't have a fob. Has the battery taken its charge alright?

The alarm thinks the car has been stolen - did you try turning the alarm off using the fob? Also given the recent hot weather, lack of use will allow the battery to discharge further than it normally would as the heat will continue to excite the electrons giving a falsely high indication of charge. It could be one of the cells in the battery has gone but you won't know until it's been on charge for quite some time.

You're tracking them via speeding fines?

Welcome aboard! There is a section for new members to say hello : https://honda6.ipbhost.com/forum/7-say-hello/ Lots of info in the thread like where to find the members gallery (for their caars!) and other things!

Hmmmm, V6 growl Vs 5-pot woofle? Tough choice! If the choice is removed though it makes life harder and you want the V6 growl.

Ah, the frozen north! Was actually 32C here today, glad the AC in the CR-V works well, must fix the Jags AC soon, at least before winter! Sounds like normal service is returned on the Elysion at least!

Possibly. There doesn't seem to be a hard and fast rule as to what faults are logged, some are and some aren't. I'm sure whoever designed the software did put rules in for logging faults or not but i've never worked it out - software really isn't my thing! However, if you plug in your code reader, it may show up a logged fault, probably a pressure switch fault at an edumacated guess. This will popint the way to which solenoid is sticking and not letting the pressure through. However, you may also find (like i did) that the wire to said pressure switch is broken or the switch itself may be faulty. All would give similar symptoms so it's really a case of investigating and see what you find. As you go through and find what's wrong, you'll realise there is a pattern to how it all comes together to work which will help your understanding of how it all works. Always worth remembering the old computing acronym of GIGO - Garbage In, Garbage Out. In other words, treat the fault code as a potential red herring as it may not be the indicated fault but one that gives similar symptoms.

It sounds very much like a sticky solenoid, probably due to lack of maintenance of ATF but as you've done some part-changes, that should help. Doing another round of part-changes may improve things further as well. Mine still gives the odd harsh/slurred 1-2 change but is getting much rarer now. I daresay when i do another part change in spring next year, it'll bring it up to near perfect and i would think similar for you. I'm NOT SURE this is the right one for yours but gives you an idea of the animal you are looking for. Might also be worth checking the screens in yours (filters on the solenoid fluid inlets) are clean/clear. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305410690214 The biggest part of the job is stripping the ancillaries away for access, typically you need to remove the air cleaner box and a few other bits to actually see the solenoids. Worth having a look on YT for videos for changing gearbox solenoids on the Accord V6 or, as many of them are likely to be American, transmission solenoids. Here's one i found : ........... and the search i did to find it : https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=accord+v6+transmission+solenoid Happy vid watching!

That sounds suspiciously like a sticky 1st/2nd gear solenoid, i have one for my CR-V but the fault (that i found when i went to change the solenoid) was a broken wire on a pressure switch on the box (think it was 2nd gear pressure but might have been 1st, can't remember or think just now), repaired that and all but eliminated except for the odd occasion when i've either turned or braked sharply.
