07 Civic LX Stereo Welcome Message

Hi Everyone,

Hoping you all might have some insight into this...
I just bought the new Civic, and the owners manual says that you can program in a welcome message into the stereo.

I've followed the instructions, and it doesn't give the ability to do this.
Has anyone found a work-around for this? Is there some feature that might have been disabled that I can re-enable?

Thanks!

Al

Welcome message

Hello,
I had the same issue when I bought my 2007 Honda Civic EX (Canadian Model) and I couldn't program the 'welcome' in the display bar.
I did some digging and found that the US LX and the Canadian EX share the 160 watt receiver and doesn't have the 'welcome' feature.
The US -EX and Si models have that feature.
The owner's manual is a bit confusing in explaining this.

Oh Fantastic... That's the first real answer I've found on that topic... I appreciate your reply.

The owners manual certainly isn't very clear on that point. Interesting that the receiver would look exactly the same yet have such a subtle difference....

Thanks again.

I have a 07 ex US model. Could not change my message also. I found instructions easy to understand, but that damn thing just wont change. So after 20 mins of playing with it, I gave up. Its just not worth the time.

i have the '07 lx coupe and I have the welcome feature. It was really easy to program. The radio needs to be off in order to program it.

Re: 07 Civic LX Stereo Welcome Message

I assume if the welcome message works on an 07 coupe it will work on an LX sedan as well. Does anyone have any experience with this particular model?

Interesting enough I just read on another Honda Civic forum that the welcome message does work on the coupe but not on the sedan. Can this be possible?

(USA) Owners manual (sedan) page 112 says only for Si model sedan.
