NOM,

I forgot to ask about the LED DRL-- how do they operate? did you make the connection as separate (i.e. like fog light)? or did you make it as DRL (splice the high beam connector)?

whats included in the package?

I'll ask more if I remember something..

TIA

Hi, What is the GPS company name?

 

Hi,

I am thinking to buy weathertech floor liner for 1st row and mats for 2 & 3. Is this a good move?

I have read on this forum, if we add liner for 2 & 3rd rows, it is hard to get into the boxes down there. Is it true?

Thanks

 

The Weathertech are great too!, But I went with OEM because it comes with all three rows.
The spare tire are in the 2nd row (Honda called "lazy susan" hidden box"). Yes, I have to remove the rubber mat if I need to use the spare tire.

About the GPS, is china brand "Lson" but is not label and is china Patented behide the GPS unit.
