2007 AccordEX V-6 6-Spd MT w/ XM Radio Sedan

please explain - how can a motor that's switched off be rough?

try not to "smoke" the motor too much when new. read the owner manual for run-in instructions. read the owner manual, period.

it's the only thing frod /can/ do - frod buyers don't buy based on technology or superiority of product - they buy based on the freakin' stero - go figure.

What type of roughness?

This could explain the roughness.

Don't like the stereo? Don't buy the car.

I'm curious why you think yoiu have to tell us it has XM Radio.

I interpret his statement to mean "gives a hard shake when it's turned off".

Yep that is it. It doesn't always do it, though.

Because my last one didn't....

Hard shake of the vehicle. I am not used to that.

I only did it once and I am trying to be gentle on it, but the temptation is hard to resist.

That is a needless gripe. A new radio is easy to come by for cheap. IIRC, Honda used to sell a MP3/WMA deck to add to the factory radio. I don't know if this option exists for the 2007 model??

Because XM is so freaking good he can't live without it.

LOL, it almost makes up for the fact that the car lacks MP3 capabilities. I think I will LOVE XM on my trip from Louisiana to Florida next weekend! I discovered the Boneyard, and haven't tuned off of it since.
