Just purchased 2 weeks ago a new to me 2013 Accord EX coupe 6sp I4!
Came from a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT QC.
I live in Ft. Worth, Texas
Traffic has become too much in Dallas/Ft. Worth and I need something more practical and comfortable in traffic. I have a back up truck (95 F150) for towing/hauling.
Love my Accord so far (especially gas mileage) but not a fan of the OEM stereo! FM stereo sounds like AM radio! I know they want me to pay for some kind of subscription like satellite....but I'm old and the concept of paying to listen to radio is foreign to me and I won't do it! CD player and bluetooth sounds good enough for me but am still planning to upgrade the sound. Gonna be a challenge working to keep IMID functions while upgrading sound and adding HD radio.

Hello, Xclimation... welcome to the forum
I agree, the base radio in the Accord is disappointing, especially for someone who has an ear for music. I found that by adding tweeters to the A pillars and upgrading the existing speakers can make a difference. The speakers in the front doors are easy to remove and replace... replacing the rear speakers require removing the rear seat.
Good luck. Enjoy

Thanks for joining.
It all depends on how far you want to go with the audio. In the audio section there are mild to wild upgrade options/threads you can look at. Then if you have a question, of course you can post a thread and I'm sure someone will help you through it.
KHA has some pretty "wild" - in my opinion - threads in there about audio upgrades.
Good luck and glad you are enjoying the car
