Parking "Muting the radio" questions - Page 2

TTDegs · 23rd April 2008, 16:40

In an EX, you could just hit the 'make a phone call' button on the steering wheel, which mutes the radio - although I don't think it pauses the CD, but it's easier than the off button

Not an option unless you have an EX though

Well, I recently got an customer survey by Honda on the first impressions I have with my Civic. It was also possible to include additional improvement suggestions and "muting the radio" was one point on my list

Let's see, what they will do with this information

Just checked. My parking sensor speaker is located on the underside of the boot shelf behind the rear driver's side (UK) seat (does that make sense?)

It also has a LMH switch to control the volume. I'm now a loud bleeper!

Clive242's post animated me to have a closer look at my car to perhaps also increase the volume, but I didn't find any switch. I don't think that there actually is one in my case, because the speaker sits in a simple plastic housing, glued to the passenger side plastic cover in the trunk. It's not really visible at first sight or so, but having a crowded trunk with loose things flying around could actually damage the speaker. That's why I personally am rather disappointed by this cheap solution. Especially as it is the original Honda park distance control which had it's, not really cheap, price though.
Big

from my side.

The location of the speaker seems to be a bit random, possibly due to it being a dealer fit item (except more recently on the EX where it is now added at the factory I believe)

There have also been (too!) many examples of dlrs charging Honda prices and then fitting non-Honda sensors...

see the 'great parking sensor' thread in here to check

AFAIK I got the original Honda ones. The ones you see on pictures of aftermarket products don't look familiar, but the originals do. Mine are also painted in the matching colour, although this is no evidence

I posted in the corresponding thread to get a comparable picture of other speakers to confirm my assumption.

Mine are not Honda and I wasn't charged Honda prices.

They work OK though, I just need to find where they have put the bleeper behind the dash so I can put some tape over it to quieten it down.

You would think that it would be easy to spot. I tried last year by putting it in reverse and climbing backwards under the dash, but I still couldn't find it.

Plan B this year is to do the same but with a length of narrow hose as a stethoscope to try and track it down. I've also got the advantage this year of having one of those LED head lights so you can see where your working in the dark.

Quite good they are, been very useful a number of times.
