Dear Honda, please add these to the Ridgeline

[Ogadai]

I love my Ridge, and think it is tremendous value for money with all the fittings which would be "accessories" in other makes. However in the spirit of helping to improve a brilliant product, please provide a rearview mirror which actually allows you to see the entire back window - the present model only allows viewing of about 80% so I cannot set it to see both rear quarters. I also agree that auto-on running lights would be a significant step forward and that mudflaps all round would have been sensible - I wish I had put them on from new.

If anyone knows where I can get a slightly larger/wider angle view rearview mirror, I'd be grateful. Oh yes, and I'm also looking for a full size spare - anyone know any good deals/sources?

Enjoy the cruisin'

Search eBay for "broadway mirror". Started with the asian import cars (and not necessarily the rice rockets) but now they're everywhere. Prolly at Pep Boys and Target and Walmart now too, altho I haven't checked lately. The "Broadway" brand is the most famous brand tho.

Dear Honda,

You know those cool ScanGauge displays - it would be really really nice if the Ridgeline came with those same displays displayed on the Nav system, that would be great!

That would be cool! Maybe a few aux buttons like
|TV|DVD|VCR|GPS|Aux|

Oh, wait... that would be useful and make sense. Dang.

(Got my ScanGaugeII Yesterday - maybe this weekend I'll get it installed!)

In no particular order:

1. tow package on all models standard with 1 7/8 and 2 " ball included
2. rear mud flaps on all models.
3. under rear seat storage std on all models
4. auxillary power point in bed or trunk or both
5. remote start
6. seat memory
7. fog lights all models standard
8. day time running lights standard
9. spare tire under truck so incase of flat do not need to unload to get to spare.
10. more torque and power with better mpg. hey we are talking honda.

Seems if a vehicle is factory wired for a brake controller there should be a factory hole in the dash to place it in with mount and bezel so the controller looks factory also.

Maybe I missed it but i cannot believe that there is no way to auto-open the sun roof. I have to HOLD IT until it opens? That probably surprised me the most when i pick up my truck this week. I've owned a bunch of vehicles and i cannot remember the last time I had to wait for that.

I would like to see an ipod dock come standard. I would also like to see a lockable bed cover come standard as well. Everything else seems fine.

Dear Honda-san,

I would really like top have Asimo as my driver. That's all I want.

An AC power outlet in place of one of the 3 cigarette lighter power outlets -- I have a DC --> AC transformer.

Under truck spare instead of in trunk (hard to get to) -- throw the donut in the back seat after you replace it with a full size spare.

Aux audio input -- avail with the NAV unti but too pricey for me so I got an FM transmitter.

Perhaps an upgradable option for lockable tailgate if you buy the cover.
