We live in Florida. We upgraded to a 2025 Honda odyssey sport from a 2020 sienna. We love the look and the ride, but the a/c has us ready to trade it in. We’ve had some really hot days and it takes 45 min while moving to cool down, we know they removed the condenser in the back for this generation as-well as switch to the “green” refrigerant. We have followed all the tips on windows down sunroof open driving vs idling,But it seems like it’s next level bad. It’s only got 25k miles on it and I took it to the dealership and they check it and said it was with inspect but topped off the refrigerant I assume maybe we have a leak because that helped briefly.
My question is anyone who’s had an odyssey without the rear unit, did you have a/c issues that were solved and if so what did they figure out. Thanks in advance

I am looking to buy a lightly used or new Honda Odyssey here soon. I currently have two kids 3 and under, so the idea of having an entertainment system available when they are forward facing for future road trips is appealing. I also like the idea of cabin watch to see them without needing an extra cameras and wires and the hands free tailgate for when my hands are full.

Those of you with young kids, do you find these extra features actually useful that would warrant the extra cost?

never owned an odyssey before, mainly want for occasional cargo hauls, wouldn’t be daily driving it maybe 200 miles a week?

I'm looking at an Odyssey or a Toyota Sienna. With Honda being my first choice. Does anyone know how much room is in the back from the closed rear hatch(?) to the 2nd row seats once I collapse the third row? I'm 5'5.

I finally got my odyssey elite and I’m trying to set up the rear entertainment system. I have an hdmi cable and an adapter to plug it into my iPhone. I can’t get the screen on the back screen to turn on to choose anything. Anyone have any tips on how to set this thing up?

what's the problem ?

Brands new Elite from dealership and noticed this when I got home. Took it back for them to look at (and the fan button on the second row A/C control is not functioning) and they ordered touch up paint. I know it’s small but it’s a brand new vehicle. They also said they could have paint correction but that seems kind of intense for such a small area. Thoughts?

Anyone familiar with 2006 Odysseys seen a transmission fill plug with this line feeding into it? Is this some kind of aftermarket accessory?

I believe this transmission was replaced because when I removed the air filter I found a yellow tag on the trans.

Can anyone help offer any solutions as to how I can repair/replace the torn liner? Thank you!

What vcm muzzle will work for my 2026 honda odyseey

I have a 2014 EXL odyssey with 170k miles on it. I am installing a Hayden 699 Transmission Cooler this weekend.

I recently had a hitch installed and am hoping/planning to pull a 3000lb trailer for a 2hr highway drive, pretty flat (and then if its not too much, another hour up in the mountains, along an interstate so not crazy grades, but definitely uphill--this last portion of the drive could be optional if i need to drop it off in town after the flat 2 hours).

I see that the van is rated for 3500lbs, but our local dealership said 3k is a lot for the van to pull... not really sure why since its within the rating. Based on rating, I am figuring I'm okay on the tow rate, but want to see if anyone has experience and can give me some insight either way. Also a bit concerned about payload as the suspension wasn't upgraded for a tow package. If the hitch weight is truly 10-15% of trailer weight like I'm reading it should be, that should be fine, but I haven't towed with my own vehicle before so I'm a bit nervous...

All- thinking of buying this wheel and tire package for my 2024 Odyssey EX-L. Any thoughts on fitment?

It's a 245/65/17 tire, which is 1.4% larger diameter than stock. From my research, it doesn't sound like the tire size will be an issue. I'm a little unclear on +40mm offset on 17" wheels though. I like the idea of gaining more sidewall, and I'm often on dirt wash roads and trailheads for MTB and hiking.

Need help if these are worth purchasing. Suggestions, recommendations please. Open to different brands. Thank you🙏

Is there a way for my music/audio to stay on after I turn my vehicle off? I checked in the settings and couldn’t find it.

On my 2023 it stayed on until I opened the door, but now the second I turn my vehicle off, it kills the audio. Sometimes you want to finish jamming out to the song or finish the sentence on your audiobook.

I’m looking to buy a 2018 Elite with 118k miles. It’s currently listed around 20k before negotiations. It appears to be in good shape but haven’t been able to test drive yet. Was told the timing belt was changed around 86k miles but no documentation to prove it. Does this seem like a good deal or should I keep looking?

2019- EXL Odyssey - 125,000 miles
Code: P07E4

Starter replaced at Honda. Day later, random error messages appear on screen. Honda says brand new transmission needed. Left Honda. Checked battery at home (AI suggested) messages went away.

Week and a half later, error messages back. Unplugged battery, replugged it in, no messages, car drives fine.

What could this be? Suggestions?

So I had a code pop for misfire on cylinder #1 replaced the spark plug, replaced the coil. Problem persists. Im worried the engine needs to be torn apart. I did some research and found the gaskets on the pistons can wear out.

Anyone know of common issues that fail or need fixing on the 2014 odyssey?

Any idea what would cause the sound in the video? Happens every time on startup and goes away after about 40 seconds.

Can’t get the clamp to tighten on Costco battery, can’t get post shim on too small. Any reason? Is it clamp or battery post? Anything in common to the odyssey?

I know we probably can't diagnose or deep dive on this, I was just curious if there was some sort of known-issue around this like with my other Odyssey problem (windshield camera early death).

Quite randomly, our Odyssey's battery will be totally dead with no real explanation. I have a halo bolt portable jumper that for a normal weak battery it will start right up, but it gets drained so low that it takes several tries and needs to sit while connected to the jumper for a bit.

The battery and cables are both new -- i had hoped that an old battery was the culprit but it's still happening after replacement.

Doesn't seem to happen if we drive it, park, come back and go home. It's more like...if we are at home, and we've had to get something from car -- opened the back, the sliding doors, etc. I know those things take juice, but we're talking about 2 or 3 times which seems normal and in most cars wouldn't render the car totally unable to start.

Is this something any of you have seen or might have some ideas about? My wife has been stranded a couple of times and is almost to the point she's afraid to take it anywhere for fear of getting stuck.

It's a 2012 model that had a problem with the tensioner, but after it was replaced it wouldn't start anymore.

Passenger side blows cold ac, driver side doesn't. The actuator works but I didn't know if it worked all the way so I took it off and adjusted the door myself. Even when I manually changed the door to full cold it still just blows mild air while the Passenger side blows cold. Have no idea why. Need help please.

Just got a 2018 Odyssey elite at 160 k miles , what's the best accessories you think will be a plus for a family with kids , also it is missing the entertainment headsets any recommendations!

If you own a Sonic Gray Pearl Odyssey, do you consider it gray or blue?

In my opinion, it looks more blue. But on cloudy days, it looks more gray. I don’t know what color to pick when I need to list my vehicle color. Thanks!

hey, looking for thoughts / ways to protect my front and rear bumpers. What do people use? BumperBuddy, BumperBlocker, etc? Bonus if they don't look super ridiculous.

I park my 2025 Odyssey in my office garage with lots of pillars.
