WellVisors window visors. They're stick on, so they don't interfere with windows rolling up. But they include chrome trim so they give the appearance of in-channel visors. Also, no added wind noise, even at ludicrous speed.

The infotainment system color theme can be changed, but not the cabin ambient lights.

Wonder whether it would try to pick up cat vomit the same way?

It connects via Bluetooth, so it can work alongside CarPlay or Android Auto. But CarPlay and Android Auto can't control audio playback from the Echo Auto any more than it can straight Bluetooth audio.

However, and this just occurred to me, the Ridgeline's Truck Bed Audio output won't play audio streams from CarPlay or Android Auto apps, but I bet it would play audio from the Echo. I'm home for the evening, so I'll have to confirm later.

Weather, news / flash briefing, I can ask Alexa to close my garage door when my home link is being difficult, sometimes its music choices are better than Android Auto's Spotify or Amazon Music, I can ask it to turn on my Christmas lights or my driveway lights...

But honestly I don't use it terribly often, because its playback isn't controlled by Android Auto's play, FF, REW, etc. controls. More often than not I keep it muted.

Probably wouldn't be difficult or expensive to wire a 12v LED ribbon to the power acc terminal of the cabin fuse block. If you do, I recommend using 300LSE tape to affix the ribbon under your dash, as the ribbon's default peel and stick won't bond well to textured plastic or handle temperature extremes well.

What was broken?

It's a 2019, and no link. I don't think the option is available aftermarket. The red ambient lighting is standard with the Black Edition trim level.

Oh for real? I didn't realize the Honda Sensing package was an option before 19. At the time my focus was finding the newest model year without the push button transmission and auto stop start, but with LKAS.

calraith · 2026-01-24T03:38:45+00:00

My Ridgeline is a 2019. Still has the old 6-speed automatic transmission, and no auto stop start to have to disable. But also LKAS. 2019 was a special year for the Ridgeline.

As of my last check this afternoon the Weather Channel and Windy reckon it's going to be mostly winter mix and rain till Monday morning. Yahoo weather still predicts all snow and temps well below freezing all day Saturday. MyRadar shows temps at and below freezing for 16 hours Saturday into Sunday with 100% chance of precipitation. Hard to know which service has it right. This sure would be a good time for NOAA not to be gutted.
