After a 6 year gap, your videos have given me enough of a nudge to make me buy another Honda, this time a CL9. I've immediately fallen in love with it ❤️
4 months I have been trying to figure out why my trunk release button doesn't work. I thought it was broken since the car got crashed in the back. Then I saw this video, simple fix. Thank you dude just subscribed.
Thanks for the boot lock tip! I just presumed the exterior boot release button was stuffed on mine Found the little switch after watching this vid though and surely enough, it was in the locked position. Now I can finally open it from the outside as intended 🤘
Same here! Even the guy that sold me the car told me "oh, there's that one little thing you'll need to fix, because you cannot open trunk with the trunk button". 😄 Thanks alot!
Same thing happened to me and I've had my car for 7 years and the last 2 years I thought the boot latch was stuffed. Searched a heap of forums and such without any luck. I guess not all heroes wear capes!
I hope this car holds up as well as my TSX manual bought new 3/10/2004 . Now with 91,000 miles it puts a smile on my face whenever I take it for a spin. Just a magnificent piece of motorcar.
@@KiwiCarLife yup, honestly, I have seen BMWs and other Germans with similar mileage or more still running around, the difference is some significant refreshed parts here and there, only normal wear and tear parts on the big H!
Extras easter eggs: * lift the center console armrest and you will discover business card holders and maybe a pen holder from memory. * coin /lipstick compartment on drivers side just below the VSA button.
Some more features: (JDM version only?) The center console lid slides forward as an arm rest; great for handling the stick! There is a second hood pole hole, located towards the bottom of the bonnet on the drivers side; wider angle = better view! Disconnecting the cable running under into the front seat disables the seatbelt-not-fastened warning mechanism; less safe!
Omg, I was convinced that my boot opener was broken. I had to work with the under seat handle and a key until I saw this. I toggled a button and it's working.
There are more, if you press and hold aux button on the stereo it will turn the backlighting off like on saab nightpanel. And there is also a hidden menu on the radio screen that shows info from sensors, but i don't remember the exact button combination to activate it
Almost 1-2 decades late dude =))). Great interesting info. I have a few updates for acura tsx, the wheel size is generally 215/50R17 and the trunk switch is inside Glove compartment. Small changes :)
Had that issue and changed nearly every suspension components and made no difference lol. Simple cv shafts on both sides fixed the problem and feels like a new car!! :D
@@justinvang875 you prolly have an aftermarket module for the window switch or your car is straight from Japan which has every feature in existence lol but really?
You are correct, but i did not know that and also there a bulb in the glove box and it light up when you put your light on. Thank you for your great video, love it.
1:27 am .. saw the window down trick . Went outside in cold to try that on my 2004 euro r 😭😭😭😭 No Luck!!! Guess it doesn't work with earlier CL/7 Models
Oh wow I am not a huge fan of the stock wheels appearance wise but if they are indeed light I might not want to change them out. Maybe I should just give them a new color.
Honda didn’t screw up as you mentioned for closing all windows with key fob, it’s for safety reasons, imagine there are children inside and one sticking their head out from the window that you can’t see, now imagine what will happen?
I have 2008 accord euro luxury, the owners manual have all instructions to enable/disable auto door locks when moved to Parking gear I followed all instructions but couldn't enable the function... Any thoughts??
Hey man great video I’ve learnt a lot with my accord thanks to your videos, with the gauge cluster sweep, my RPM needle seems to have shifted anticlockwise by about 1/3 and I’m not sure how to shift it back in place, any ideas as to why this happens?
Good to hear! Regarding the needle, you might have to get a new cluster, or try pull the cluster apart and realign the needle. They just pop off and you can put them back on again in the right place
Hi I really like your videos on these Honda Accords but miss a review/ride with the tourer of this model you have here (facelift 7:th gen ca 2006-08) and 2.4 automatic if available please! Cheers from Sweden :-)
Yeah but in general the bigger the wheel the more it weighs. So if you go from an average 17 to average 18 it’ll weigh more. Look better sure, but be a slight detriment to performance
1:01 - I have Accord CU2 (2009) and when I press lock quickly release and press again and hold lock for a second or two - it closes all the windows (even on the roof).
hi mate..im also from nz..i also have a cl9 type S jdm..but the window remote on lock key on mine is not working..do you know how to fix it?thanks mate..
You’d be better off buying halogen headlight housings and installing them in that. Personally I wouldn’t bother. LED beam patterns are whack and xenon is just as bright
@@KiwiCarLife I read somewhere that only the European models (maybe?) allowed the remote roll-up feature. My 2010 TSX (Canada) only rolls up and down with the key in the door lock. Not sure why this feature was localized, but the reason I can't remotely roll up the windows is to avoid an accident where I might roll it up with someone's neck / arm sticking out.
I have a 2008 Honda Accord driver side door lock is jammed up and I don't have a fob, the anti theft immobilizer is activated and I need help resetting it, can you please help me
Those stock Enkeis are heavy as hell and among TOP 3 ugliest rims ever, not only for Honda. This Accord however is one of the most reliable cars ever made. Literally MULE! Both CL7 and CL9 petrol engines and their manual transmissions are bullet proof.
@@felixchetlanddevries2998 small world huh - I know chris from the cl9 vs cu2 vid. When lockdowns over we'll film the cl9 vs diesel vid with that very car you're driving!
@@KiwiCarLife It is a 2007 left hand drive version sold in Germany. The All Windows feature also doesn't work. But thanks for the video. Today I "fixed" the trunk lock of my fathers Accord after many years by turning the hidden switch in the trunk :-)
The North American 04-05 TSX had a metal trim piece above the grill and the 06-08 TSX was updated without the metal trim. You might need a newer 06-08 hood if you want to install the updated +06 bumper on the 04-05 North American version.
Kind of alarming how this is the second result for "ball joint failure Cl9 TSX Accord" - I wouldn't exactly call that a hidden feature, not once you'd want at least! Check your ball joints folks!

Yeah couple good ones there, I use the latter for my chap stick
Didn’t know about the trunk switch, thanks man! Looking forward to your next vid
Cheers man
I thought my button was broken until I watched this video 🤣
Yo I have a 07 tsx I didn’t even know about the trunk switch at all
My wife turned that switch accidently, i thought i'd have to replace the whole lock assemby, thanks to you, i dont have to. 👍
I actually think he would be a good presenter.
Good tone of voice.
Nice camera presence.
Nicely edited.
Kudos.
Haha thanks man
Damn never knew i can roll my windows down with just the key and the door outside...that's new for me even though i own a 07 acura tsx for a year lol
Yeah it's cool aye
I thought my boot was stuffed until I realized I accidentally toggled that switch while installing my sub.
I will be using the window features now!
Sweet as man
Lol me too, have been scratching my head why the boot wont open from the handle :D
Some more features: (JDM version only?)
The center console lid slides forward as an arm rest; great for handling the stick!
There is a second hood pole hole, located towards the bottom of the bonnet on the drivers side; wider angle = better view!
Disconnecting the cable running under into the front seat disables the seatbelt-not-fastened warning mechanism; less safe!
My sliding arm rest is the best. I don't know how I'm gonna survive without it when the day comes to upgrade.
Yeah true, might have to make a part 2!
I liked the video before watching the whole video because i knew i would learn something new.. Great Video!
Good to hear! Cheers man
Same here!!
Was literally just thinking about this for hondas since I just did something similar to a mates nissan tiida
Thank you kiwicar life
Nice!
Omg, I was convinced that my boot opener was broken. I had to work with the under seat handle and a key until I saw this. I toggled a button and it's working.
Haha yeah few people have been reporting similar issues
Well after nearly a year of thinking my boot switch was stuffed I've just come across your video thanks for this all working again now lol
Haha nice
shot for this, the window feature is game changing
Yeah it's good aye
Yup the trunk switch helped me ! Thanks man !
Good to hear!
the Honda Jazz wheels are also Enkei, if I remember correctly, the CU2 accord also runs ENKEIs
Yeah I think quite a lot of Honda models have Enkei designed wheels - the FD2 Civic Sport had them too
Love your channel mate! awesome videos! Keep it up dude!
Cheers man!
just bought a 2005 TSX. thaanks for this video
Nice
Appreciate it man, I just bought an accord recently and I’ll definitely try them on loL
Nice!

I wonder if you have the typical Axle problem, mine the front shakes a bit when i press on the gas harder
Yeah that is a common issue I've heard, mine is fine though

Много чего нового показал ! 👍
Is gùòd
RIIIIIGHT the boot switch.
some luggage had switched mine and moved it to lock.
was a real pain in the ass after that happened.
Hah well at least you know now!
Btw for the key window button, it didn’t have that feature until the CU2 came out.
In some markets yeah, but my CL9 has it
my 06 1st gen has it. so thats incorrect.

Thanks man I learnt something new 😁
All good!
The trip counter reset, if you turn right or left , it will dimm the cluster for the Honda Accord 2004 comfort
Yeah that’s not really a hidden feature every car has that
You are correct, but i did not know that and also there a bulb in the glove box and it light up when you put your light on. Thank you for your great video, love it.
1:27 am .. saw the window down trick . Went outside in cold to try that on my 2004 euro r
😭😭😭😭 No Luck!!!
Guess it doesn't work with earlier CL/7 Models
Yeah maybe they took it out to save weight?
I have the same year, it doesn’t work on mine either.
The last one was helpful I always found it annoying that I couldnt use the the trunk latch
Glad I could help out!
Oh wow I am not a huge fan of the stock wheels appearance wise but if they are indeed light I might not want to change them out. Maybe I should just give them a new color.
Yeah or just get some euro r/accord sport wheels. They are also made by enkei and look way better
To roll them back up u put the key in the driver's door turn right then left and hold it left till they roll back up
Yes I know
Honda didn’t screw up as you mentioned for closing all windows with key fob, it’s for safety reasons, imagine there are children inside and one sticking their head out from the window that you can’t see, now imagine what will happen?
Nah that’s just retarded modern Hondas you can put it up from the key no problem it’s not a safety feature haha it’s just not implemented
I have 2008 accord euro luxury, the owners manual have all instructions to enable/disable auto door locks when moved to Parking gear I followed all instructions but couldn't enable the function... Any thoughts??
No idea man, I don't believe the AU/NZ ones have that feature. Seems to only come on jdm cars
Yo mate! What wheels are you using atm? Those one look pretty cool 👍🏻
Sparco DS1's
Sweet thought there was something wrong with my boot switch.
Yeah lol
Absolutely love this car. Had it for 4 years now and still runs like new! 06 TSX with 95k miles

Son of a gun, and i thought the button on my trunk was broken for the past 10 years!
Haha yeah not the first person to have that issue!
The thing with the windows does not work for all Accords in every country, does it ? Because I couldn't do this trick
I see, potentially it's only available on the top spec K24 ones? Does yours have the K24 or the K20?
@@KiwiCarLife it has a K24, facelift model like yours, the executive line, with is a pretty high line (similar to type s, but without the Bodykit)
@@dst8636 oh, yeah I dunno aye. Maybe in some markets it doesn't have the feature

Didn't know about the wheels
Yeah interesting huh?
That is. Forged enkei wheels stock
Have you weighed the wheels to compare? I have a different set of 17” Enkei manufactured OEM Honda wheels that are definitely not lightweight.
Yeah but in general the bigger the wheel the more it weighs. So if you go from an average 17 to average 18 it’ll weigh more. Look better sure, but be a slight detriment to performance

Hi guys, I got a question how do you fix Honda Accord cl9 with lead lights instead of xeon lights?

Not all euro models has rolling window feature. Lets say i have Accord Euro PreFL Sport, ant it does not have this feature. Sadly.
I see, all the nz new ones have it tho I've tried it
@@KiwiCarLife i believe nz gets all the exclusives as japan or us gets

You suggest any things
@@DanielSanchez-yv8gt loose wire maybe?
Never thought they are enkei
Yeah who would have thought aye
The Sunroof not open via the key... It's only the windows... Not accords can do the window thing too, it's manly for the L version from my experience.
Cu2s open the sunroof
Is there a way to get the cluster sweep to happen all the time?
Don't think so
Is that trunk button also in tourers?
Probably?
Ok, I have to check. I don't think I have that windows thing, at least won't work. Same thing on our both tourers. Not with keys or with locks. 😏
Just crazy how this car is called an Accord TSX
