I was happy to see this video pop up in my recommendations. Your car looks to be in pretty great condition. You've had a lot of the same issues as I have with mine. The road noise is probably my biggest complaint with these cars. I installed sound mat and new carpet with thicker insulation. It definitely helped, but not as much as I hoped. The 9th gen Accord with the MacPherson strut suspension was a huge step up. They ride so much better. Hard to beat the simplicity and durability of the 7th gen though.

I have a 2007 4cyl accord with the standard radio still, 236k miles no issues with it yet, having trouble with the AC though, just recharged it and now it blows hot again thinkin its the compressor which sucks. But i got the sunroof so its cool. Keep an eye out for the rear roof mine’s inner liner is falling off due to the previous owner being a heavy smoker
@ubuntulinuxrules9 күн бұрын
Yeah, unfortunately these 7th gen Accords are getting so up there in age that the A/C compressors themselves are starting to fall apart, either that or the actual compressor relay has died and can be cheaply replaced, but if the relay is still good, then the compressor itself has died.

Great video. Do you know how many times this has given off false alarms?
@ubuntulinuxrules2 ай бұрын
It gives false alarms quite often, store doors, Mazda blindspot monitoring that happens to be exactly on K band, those speed signs on the side of the road shooting K band in various directions, it's nothing to do with the detector, a more expensive radar detector with K band enabled would get false alerts because so much "junk" uses it. That's the benefit of more expensive detectors like the Uniden R3, you can actually disable K band frequencies if you live in an area where police don't use it (KA band detection is police nearly 100% of the time), but now you're going from a $54 radar detector, to a $300 radar detector (with increased range and features), but if you're just looking for a very basic, plug it in and go, cheap radar detector with good range for what it is, and you don't mind false K band alerts (some police actually do use K band for enforcement in certain states), then I'd still recommend a DFR1, but do not get it if you hate false K band alerts, you cannot disable any of the bands except X band in City1 mode, which is pointless because it's technology that's not even used.

should i buy this one as my “first radar” or buy an r3 i was also looking at the 7 and 8 but dont want to spend too much either

The $50 Uniden DFR1 is absolutely a good first radar for someone to get into this stuff and understanding how it works and how law enforcement uses it, before graduating onto more expensive units like the R3 and beyond.
@tin.12 ай бұрын
At the BARE MINIMUM I would get a Whistler Z-19R+. More settings than the DFR1. At the very least I would get a Uniden DFR7. Otherwise, if you have the budget, get a Uniden R3.

Is it worth the purchase?
@ubuntulinuxrules2 ай бұрын
It's better than nothing for about the $50 they want for it, the 2+ miles a cheap radar detector like this can see in front can prevent you from being ticketed by a radar speed trap if the officer is actively transmitting with a radar unit, so speed with caution and dont do anything too crazy on the freeway, because they don't always have radar on and might be around, this is merely a driver aid.

What settings do you use? Is the orange line meaning highway mode? I’ve been using it for a week now and I’ve passed 3-4 cops and it’s never beeped. Sometimes it randomly beeps and that’s it?? Any help??? Kinda regretting this purchase
@ubuntulinuxrules2 ай бұрын
I just run with it in highway mode all the time (orange line only showing on the display), the reason why you're encountering cops and not hearing a "whoop whoop" alert is because the cop has their radar unit off and there's nothing to detect unless they're actively doing speed enforcement on the freeway or something and are using it, as for the random beeps, that is the detector false alerting to K band things like store doors that open when you walk up to them, the lane assist from other cars (Mazdas love to set it off), or possibly even one of those little speed signs that use K band to detect your speed and show a reading of how fast your car is going. Unfortunately being a cheap detector with no settings, you can't disable K band to prevent false alerts, you just kinda get used to if it's false alerting or not and can hit the mute button on it when you're in an area where you know there's non police radar in the area.

@@Calvintheicon The "City" mode basically makes it take 2 bars worth of signal to make the X band frequency go beep beep, and "City 1" disables X band entirely, I honestly don't know why they even bothered with this, because X band radar is technology from the 1970s that no one uses anymore, which makes the City modes no different than Highway, I'd just keep it in highway mode and mount the unit nice and level in the center of your windshield where it can pick up the most radar signals, because as simple and cheap as this unit is, it is something you'll want to have on the highway in case police are running a speed trap and turning the radar on and off, it's better than nothing.

Honestly most all cops are lazy and just rely on the always on systems that are easy to detect cus they're getting enough work done waiting for those to alert them. That's the wider ban stuff then they switch to more accurate to narrow the search so you have plenty of time. Always fast and I'm always alerted early. Only need be on alert for passing a ghost, they'll be ready to laser you in an instant without an alert so I don't ever pass people fast plus it's unsafe. The only sneaky close calls I've seen is they pull up behind you when you are speeding and hit you with laser which is an alert you can never beat once hit directly because it reads you before you can react. On most units, that's the fastest beep alert or continuous beep.

No problem at all, I too was disappointed in in the lack of videos showing just how far the detector could see ahead of it in a good case scenario, with constant-on radar source, flat road, and actually clocking the distance. I do believe in a perfect case scenario, on a long, flat open highway, the range could go well beyond 2.3 miles, I was in the city, after all.

The PCV valve is typically open and its job is to vent crank case pressure from blow by. The vacuum hose is routed to the intake manifold so that the crankcase vapors are burnt through the combustion process. The Vacuum being provided by the intake manifold does not close the PCV valve it actually keeps it open in order to keep pulling those crank case vapors. The check valve located in the PCV valve assures that flow is allowed in one direction and prevents it from going back the other direction. Although what you said is correct about these valves eventually getting covered in sludge, the sludge actually restricts flow and results in excess crank pressure which forces oil out of places you don’t oil to go.

Thanks Justin, the V6s don't seem to have the issue as often as the 4 cylinder cars, Honda really should've made PCV valve a 30K maintenance item because the car drinks oil like mad even on a perfect engine like mine when it goes bad, Keep doing what you're doing, I've even got my car decked out with Weathertechs and Falken Ziex on the wheels so I can get like you because it clearly works.

Keep the great content coming, and cleaning up the rings is definitely the best way to reduce consumption, I think what's kept the engine so nice in the 6 years since my grandmother gifted me this car, is the short 3000 mile intervals with synthetic oil, that might sound excessive, but strong additive packs and detergents that never get a chance to break down will clean engine so well, that it may develop an oil leak if you've got crusty seals like I did.
