No shit? I thought that was a reset button. Guess I'm too used to GM having a knob for this that can be turned...I'll have to play with that.

I also searched around and found the thread on the Door Lock Knobs (or as I've known them as "lockhammers"...perhaps I've been wrong all along on that). I tried to twist them to get them out as described in the thread, but they're not budging.

Anyone with an '06 get these to move?

A previous post mentioned the noise level when the rear windows are open at highway speeds. Does anyone have a similar problem with the moonroof when it's tilted up? I'm amazed (unhappily) at how much noise it makes, not even at highway speeds. The rear opening (less than 2" high I'm estimating) I'm wondering if it's too narrow, and instead of a large enough opening for air to flow out, it's more like air blowing over a bottle cap, resonating inside. I should mention I do have the moonroof visor, I don't know if that is changing the airflow dynamics.


On my list of features I wish I had are two that are available for the European Accord (Saloon), the City Pack kit (front+rear bumper and door moldings), and the Ambient Footwell lights, where the same type of blue LEDS that illuminate the center dash console at night light up the footwell areas. Unlike many of the other wish list items from people, these physically do exist, just not on our side of the Atlantic...

It IS the reset button.. but you can turn it left/right to change the backlight intensity. Both for day and night modes.

I actually like the wheels. They are easy to clean based on their design--they don't have seams and crannies that can't be cleaned without extra detailing, and they fit with the eye appeal of the car IMHO. I like the steering wheel--fits my hands perfectly. The seats are great (though no passenger lumbar). The sound system is terrific. And gas mileage is surprisingly positive.
Negatives: Carpeting is a bit cheesy.

I am liking this car immensely--more and more all the time.

Funny thing I saw today regarding 06 rims....Someone bought a brand spanking new 06 CGP TSX at my work, and I thought damn, my car is now officially old. I got bit downhearted. However, when I drove past it, the wheels were already swapped...to the 05s!! Just last week he/she had the 06s...thats a pretty damn quick turnaround.
