Cassette player with CD in EX-L?

2002 EX-L RES models come standard with a CD player, a cassette player, and the separate DVD player mounted lower in the dash. System can play any of the sources independently through the van speakers and the wireless headphones.

When we picked up our RES van, there were several salepeople that were watching as our salesguy went over the entertainment system operation with us. One of them asked me if I minded if he watched too (which I certainly didn't mind), since they had received so few RES models, and they were delivered to their owners so quickly, he had never seen one in person. I got to talking with the other salesguy, telling him what I knew already about the system (learned from sites like this), he seemed sincerely interested. I thought it was interesting that I as a customer was educating a Honda salesperson on their product, but if they really aren't sitting around on the lots too long, it is understandable they don't get too much exposure to one.

The way I read the manual, it was unclear as to whether you could listen to two different radio stations. I took the instructions to mean that you can listen to the radio in the back (with headphones) and listen to something else through the front speakers. The instructions for operating the RES system are, frankly, not very good. It's not that it's so hard, but it doesn't give many examples of how to do two different functions at the same time. Having said all this, I haven't even tried to listen to the radio through the RES at all so I can't really help you. I will be interested to know if two different stations are possible.

That is the one trick that the system cannot perform (listening to 2 different radio stations). As corny as this sounds, I highly recommend watching the instructional DVD included with the van, it was much more helpful than the owner's manual, and included "real world" examples of how to do 2 things at once, etc. Some of the finer points of operating the rear speakers and the remote control display button were not even mentioned at all in the owner's manual.

If you aren't interested in sitting in your freezing garage for 30 minutes, there is nothing about the demo DVD that says you can't watch it on the DVD in your house, it works just fine there too.

Basically you are saying to read/watch the DIRECTIONS?? Didn't you just violate some kind of guy code of honor?

Just kidding. As for the temperature of my garage -- have you been stalking me?

Stalking? Nah, I did notice you have a bike sitting too close to your van, it might tip over and scratch it, you better go out and move it...
