You know, given that the 1999-2005 Odyssey is based on the 1998-2004
Accord, and that the dashboards are very similar, you'd think that Honda
would have made the clock thing identical.

But they didn't.

I owned a 2000 Accord, and you're right--if it's more than three
minutes, you stopped to talk with someone or have a beer.

But my 02 Odyssey requires yanking the dash, all the way from lower left
and up and over, including unscrewing the two vertical screws in front
of the instruments, and yanking the surround away from the clock before
you can get to it.

Night and day. I guess even Honda screws up now and again.
