Eric,

Thanks for your response. The info on MIMA is interesting. I am thinking, there is hope.

Navy,

I find your response boring and lacking any kind of vision. Yes, there is some risk to tampering with the system, but nothing good is ever accomplished without some element of risk. Just ask Neil Armstrong. The risk in this case is not to life an limb though, it is to property damage. I imagine it would be easy to make a mistake and damage the IMA.

The notion that the Honda engineers are absolutely correct in every choice they made is proposterous. One only need look at parking. Pull into my parking space and the autostop kicks in. Slide the shifter into park while my foot is on the brake and the engine starts??? WTF? How does that make sense? It is such an obvious FU as to be laughable. You sound to be almost a Honda shill.
