[QUOTE="Rudyjr, post: 8660131, member: 675791"] I wanted to upgrade the head unit in my wifes 2006 V6 Accord EXL with 50k on the odometer that we have owned since new. Since these cars have the HVAC controls built into the head unit it has proved to be a real learning experience. After looking at the different options out there I decided to go with the PAC Audio RPk4-HD1110 kit paired with the Sony XAV-AX100 head unit. I purchased from Crutchfield and they have been very supportive with the two issues that I have had. After the initial installation I noticed that the head unit changed the set radio station each time the car was turned off and back on. I called Crutchfield and PAC Audio and they determined that the radio needed replaced which I did and have the exact same result. PAC Audio says that the issue lies with the fact that the Sony head unit is shutting off after the PAC unit and the steering controls rest at ground. Their solution is to add a TR7 module and relay to keep the PAC unit awake longer. Seems like a lot of work for a little gain to me. Anyone here ever heard of this or have any other suggestions. They say it is definitely not the clockspring issue that they have a tech bulletin on, and they claim they have not seen this issue on anything other that Sony radios a few years ago. [/QUOTE]
