Long time AZ Member and am posting this here as I haven't had a lot of luck finding solid answers elsewhere. Recently bought an 09 Accord EX-L, I-4, non-navi and it unlike the 2nd gen TSX does not come with Homelink. Seems like the upper trim level Accords have the Homelink. What I'm looking to do is add Homelink to our Accord and I know I can do this -
but am looking to go fully OEM and not have to worry about the battery down the road. I've looked at multiple Honda dealer websites, but can't seem to nail down the exact part(s) needed. Has anyone on AZ done this and do you know the parts needed? I've also read the TSX parts are cross compatible, but don't know for sure.
Any help or advice is appreciated from my fellow AZ members.

Part # is 36650-TA0-A01ZB

But the EX-L isn't pre-wired to power it which is why College Hills had to mod it to run on a 12v battery. But you can tap into some other power source.

Here's a DIY someone did to their 2008 Accord: www.drive accord.net/forums/showthread.php?t=13569

Sedan officially goes on sale Wed., Sept. 19th. Coupe officially goes on sale Mon., Oct. 15.

That said, dealer might have sedan out earlier to test drive.

I stepped into a small Honda dealer nearby on Sunday and was told they'll have the sedan in later in the month... didn't specify exact date though. He also told me that they already have a few of them at their storage facility.

Guess I'll be checking back on Wed.

The trick will be finding a dealer that has a manual version available.

Thanks! I'll just keep checking. I'm sure the salesmen know and just won't say the date.

When I bought my 2012 EX manual, it was 1 of 3 in South & North Carolina at the time crazy!

Too bad you're not in SoCal. I hear Norm Reeves Honda in Cerritos started selling them today.

I'd suggest checking/calling nearby dealers to see.

Thanks for your help. I've seen other threads where folks have bought the OEM part and it was plug and play - at least that is what they said. I will see what I can do with this.

Same size. I believe they're also the same size as 8th gen. Will also fit 1st gen TSX wheels too.
