” Today they have proceeded to install it on my car, but it says on the official service Honda DVD / GPS is not compatible with my car.
I say that the electrical wiring of the Honda Accord diesel version is not like the gasoline version.
When installed in my car, everything but the air conditioning works because fans do not jump leading to a warming of the cooling system, blowing up the security system in this regard.
We simplified the problem. The DVD / GPS not send electronic signal to the air conditioning system because the wires that leads are not compatible with the diesel version. But if it works on a Honda Accord petrol version, as I said the official service Honda. ”
Here’s another feedback:
“The problem is that the motherboard I received GPS radio is not compatible with dual air conditioning system of any Honda Accord Diesel. It’s only valid for Honda Accord gasoline.”
