It is necessary to upgrade the audio system for the 10th generation Accord. Here are some details about the 10th generation Accord: 1. Exterior: If some words were to be used to describe the 10th generation Accord, "sporty" and "youthful" would be chosen, along with "elegant" and "dignified," because the car body is very sleek and low to the ground, making it a design that both middle-aged and young people can appreciate. 2. Kinetic energy: When the kinetic energy recovery is set to a low level, the vehicle's deceleration is relatively smooth and natural; when set to a medium level, the abruptness of the deceleration becomes more noticeable, making it clear that kinetic energy is being recovered. 3. Drawbacks: Compared to other brand's B-segment models, the Accord's interior materials are relatively average, mainly consisting of hard plastics, and the interior odor is relatively strong, indicating that the materials used are not of the best quality.
I've been driving the 10th-generation Accord for almost two years now. The factory audio system is decent for daily use—connecting via Bluetooth for music or radio works fine. But if you're after musical details, it falls short, like the muffled bass and less transparent vocals. Upgrading definitely makes a noticeable difference, especially adding a DSP amplifier and swapping out the speakers—you'll immediately get better layering. However, it depends on your budget; a minor upgrade could cost 3,000 to 5,000 RMB, with no upper limit. A word of caution: removing door panels for modifications might affect the car's original sound insulation, and poor craftsmanship could lead to rattles. Plus, altering wiring might conflict with the head unit, triggering error codes—that'd be a hassle. If you love listening to music while driving and often take long trips, upgrading the audio can significantly boost happiness. But if it's just for commuting background noise, it's not worth the trouble.
