I finally got my EX (newbie question)

[Mephisto75]

Hello folks,

after 16 weeks of waiting I finally got my EX last tuesday. This is the track of my EX comin to me: Los Angeles - Balboa (Panama) - Anterpen - Rotterdam- Hamburg. It's alot of fun driving it, although there are a few things that are annoying. I've changed the unit to metric but the driven distance is still listed in miles, phone does not accept spoken area codes other than the us ones, fm radio can only be tuned to odd fractional frequencies.

Has anybody managed to set the clock that is shown on the display? I can choose between several Timezones of course Europe is not among them and that leads me to the next question. How can you update the nav software? I've had a look at navteq. They offer an europe map but on DVD. I have 2008 EX and I don't think that it will accept the DVD in the in-dash player?



How ever this was a short pleasure. Today I gave the car away for modification. It is going to get a headlight cleaning system, a rear fog lamp (mandatory for registration) and some small changes to other lightning parts.One week and I will get my EX back

congrats! Just curious why you had it shipped from US, instead of EU where it has 7-speed trans, power folding mirrors, and other assorted goodies the US model doesn't have? Is EX only available in EU from UK (with right-side steering column)?

Hey Yorker,

thanks!

Basically its because of the price! For a fully loaded EX37 we're talking about 65K US$

There is a DST option in there, that will get you the correct time.
