I am now the owner of a 2012 CRV EX-L w/RES, and like it better the longer I have it. I did not really want the RES as my Pilot has it and the kids are older now and it would be used very little, if at all. However, the dealer made me a "deal I cant refuse" as the only CRV he had that matched my preferred color happened to have RES on it.
I really did no research on the RES as I had no intention of buying - so to my shock after signing the paperwork and getting the orientation, I slid open the center console door between the seats (assuming the DVD player was either in the dash OR up above where the screen is) and find the DVD player is tucked inside that console. Further more, the slot for the DVD as well as all the controls are facing straight up. No protection whatsoever. Is it me or is this just a bad idea for location?
I am very concerned that this dvd player is just an accident waiting to happen.
Questions:
1. Does anyone else with a 2012 w/RES have any similar concerns, or am I just being overly protective?
2. To those that have 2012 w/RES, do you have any good ideas for a makeshift cover for the DVD face to prevent dust/dirt/crumbs/spills from destroying the unit? Doesn't look like Honda sells such a thing.
I have 2 teenage drivers that will be using this CRV from time to time and as much as I try to keep the cars clean - it is just a matter of time on that DVD player based on the location they put it.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
