I hadn't heard about the key thing....saw it in another thread but not the detail of what it meant or how it worked.

Eco status keeps track of each drive i think but what it does is give you a score on your driving technique. Basically it shows a bar chart that covers acceleration, braking and cruising if I recall correctly and marks you for how well you have driven economically. Keeps a history I think.

Seems to work similarly to those black boxes fitted in youngsters cars to get them cheaper insurance. I am not sure if it stores the overall history, because if it does the dealers could see if you have been thrashing the car etc. when you have it serviced, and it could also be a tool for the police if you are involved in an accident or what ever. My last count when I switched off the ignition was 93% so I suppose I must be a plodder. But I am a member of The Institute of Advanced Motorists I suppose this may explain

TC3, How bad is the lack of bass?, I have a fairly reasonable system in the CRV with the extra sub-woofer etc, saleman told me the Acenta Premium has a very good system with the 6 speakers.Probably a bit late to be asking now as I'm picking it up in about 90 minutes!

I found on mine that higher volume the bass is actually fine..but you've got to really kick the volume up.If you listen to it quieter......well lets just say a lot of the time I have the bass at max and the treble down a bit.

Well that should suit me then My kids always complain that it's OK to have my music on loud but I make them turn theirs down!

Turned mine up today and balanced a bit of fader to rear which seems to give a bit more bass. Too bad there is no bass boost for lower volume but hey ho cant have it all apparently

Well, I have to be honest and say the stereo is mediocre at best, for a £23,000 car I would have expected a lot better Really poor volume wise and the lack of any real bass even set as you say (which is also what I found to be best) is a huge let down. Even with the treble turned down to around -20% below the mid point there's a huge amount of mid-range that sounds like a cheap 80's music centre. Not going to be happy driving along listening to sub standard audio Can I have my CRV back please?
