You are quite correct, an ipod adaptor is available. The wish list should include an ipod adaptor that is funtional, and presents appropriate data on screen for title, track, album, genre etc, which the current offering misses miserably. The adapotor offered is very subhonda imo.

I'd love to see:

1. The window opening feature using the key that we have on our Jetta TDI -- it is really great not to have to get in the car and turn on power to put the windows up/down.

2. More cup holders

3. Sun visors that are extendable to cover more window area when the visor is flipped to cover the side window

4. Leather seating option

5. Memory for seat positions for driver's side

6. More interesting paint colors -- the 2006 colors are so bland

All these are pretty minor, I know, but they are still things I'd love to see that would've made my HCHii even better!

Funny how our 2006 Odyssey has this feature - the ody was re-designed a year earlier than the Civic, so I am sure they could have engineered it into the Civic if they thought it was needed... The 2006 Accords also have this feature...

My ideas for improvement:

-- An additional icon in the instrument cluster that illuminates when EV mode active.

-- A change in the IMA programming that turns the engine off after 5 seconds of zero forward movement, unconditionally.

.

Hope is like a candle held against the night.

Our 2003 Accord has this feature. Very disappointed that they HCH doesn't seeing how much we try not to use the A/C. Having the remote roll-down feature is helpful (and a high parking-lot coolness factor )

Yes, I forgot about parking lot coolness :-) In truth, though, we use this feature a LOT on our Jetta. We live in Alabama, which is quite hot for many months of the year, and like to leave the windows open when the car is in the driveway. In summer, we also have frequent quick little rain showers, and it's terrific to be able to use the window up feature too.

Oh well...still lots of great stuff on the car.

Actually, IIRC, the Honda's that can do this (IE Accord, Odyssey) cannot roll up the windows from the remote... only roll them down...
