The Platforms For My Vehicle Are Complete - (Carpeted 2 x 4's)

I've always described that vehicle as "The Honda Hearse" which seemed especially appropriate for the black versions. You just made that use possible ;-)

When we were designing some of the cabin electronics, it was known as the Honda Oddity.

It all looks good. Good job.

So I can blame you for the weird s*it that my infotainment system does?

Thanks.

Only the audio.

Be more specific. Audio as in sound only or audio as in the song info and other stuff that appears on the screen when the audio is playing?

Very nice!

I had a friend do this to the entire passenger side of a Geo Metro hatchback (front passenger and rear bench seats removed)... the carpeted platform built held a twin sized camping mattress, so the car became a mini-camper.

I was tempted to do something similar to my former S10 so I could put full 4X8 sheets of drywall or plywood in the bed, laying down, above the wheel wells. Moving onto full-size 8 ft bed trucks solved that dilemma.

If I was planning on keeping it I would do something like that for my current econobox, which does not present a flat floor with the back seats down.

You could always keep it for hauling, to spare the nice vehicle.

The Ody will hold a full 4 x 8 sheet. They have be loaded about 3 inches above the bottom of the hatch opening because it is narrower there, but once in they sit down on the floor.

It's so close that when I put cardboard on each side to protect the side walls, the plywood makes contact. Even with every other way they screwed with the floor over the years, they always left room for 4 x 8 sheet goods.

(I have a trailer, so it's super rare for me to carry full size sheets in the Ody, but I could. Most times, like when I bought the MDO for the platforms, I broke it down in Lowe's parking lot so it fit in the Ody without any problem.)

Nahh. The damned thing has some piece of crap Microsoft electronic device built into it that makes it decide not to start at random intervals. Solution is to fish under the dash, pull a fuse, wait a minute, put the fuse back. And of course it won't run if I just pull the fuse out and leave it out.

That's why I'm getting rid of it at my earliest convenience.

Get one of these or build your own...

The hardware that makes noise. Audio amplifiers, specifically. Some of the other guys did the radios, I think. The center stack, screen and stuff, was done by a different company.

M$ has proven more than once that it has no idea what it's doing in the automotive industry. The Ford Sync-1 was done by them and it's so bad there were several class-action suits against them. I have one in my truck and it's absolute junk. I don't use any of the "advanced" features (phone isn't even paired with it).

OTOH, the Sync-3 in my wife's '19 Mustang is perfect, by comparison. It's easy to use and actually does what it's supposed to do without losing its mind every time you get in the car. Of course, I know who designed Sync-3. ;-)

The Microsoft, what ever, is in all of these vehicles. That is not the problem unless YOUR's is defective. And the solution is to replace the defective part.

Ah, a switchable penny.

Ford dropped the alliance with Microsoft a number of version of Sync ago. It was crap.
