Thanks. I saw the thread about the loud noise after turning off the ANC. It seems best to keep the head unit but perhaps come up with some sort of bypass to be able to use external amps, a sub, perhaps a DVD Audio player etc. Perhaps something can be hooked up off the speakers outputs. Pity they make this so hard but I have seen the same complaints about all the recent Accords with VCM and NAVI.

I have read that the NAVI unit is made by Alpine. Does anyone know who makes the head unit?
