Yep, what ever you say...

The xm radio post was because MY xm radio at THAT TIME was fm modulated. It
was a roady xt wireless fm modulated unit, and i was having signal trouble,
which later was found to be related also to the antenna in that aftermarket
setup.

Uh...maybe because I was considering them....

I have a bad temper.

I had an emergency brake usage situation, not just using the brakes.

Doesn't mean you cant get better performance from using premium in it.

Actually there was no mention in the Honda manual that talked about low
temps cause the sensors to activate.

I never had a '72 buick, but I had a '78 firebird, does that count?

Oh and thank god you didn't quote my posts from the alt.support.herpes
newsgroups! I would have been really embarressed having genital herpes and
all. I found your comments quite insulting to say the least. I think you
need get a life.

"alfred" is a worrier and likes to be the victim of mystery.  you
insisting on injecting science into this thread ruins his ability to
wildly speculate.

some great alfredian contributions to date:

* is the honda fit reliable?  [i think that's my favorite!]

* can you get aftermarket hid headlights?  [er, think so...]

* xm radio is "fm modulated".  [no, it's digital...]

<snip a bunch of questions about cars he doesn't own.>

* unrepeatable anal violation/murder fantasy [anti-theft systems thread].

* synthetic oil, ["mobile 1" no less], might or might not get used in
his engine in the future.  [stay tuned in for the thrilling updates folk!]

* maybe brakes can be damaged by using them!!!

* you can't run low octane gas at high compression ratio!  [except that
honda figured out how to do it.]

* tire pressure monitoring systems sometimes work as advertised
[pressure drops in low temperatures apparently].

* and so on.

bottom line, he ought to get rid of his accord and go back to the '72
buick.  that way he can keep worrying about reliability, design,
performance, etc., and bug the g.m. guys instead.  i'm sure they'll be a
lot more indulgent since they're all in the same emotional hand basket.

Doesn't have anything to do with Honda and it's not all that weird, it's
plain old physics...when it gets cold, tire pressure goes down. If it's
just barely above the TPMS threshold anyway, when it gets cold it'll
drop below it and the low pressure indicator will come on. Driving for a
while or when it warms up, the pressure will go up above the threshold
and the light goes out. Check the tire pressure when cold & bring it up
to spec.

Hello folks,

I have a relative who also has a 2008 Accord sedan, auto, except hers is a
LX-P with the 16" wheels instead of the 17" on mine. The same thing happened
with her TPMS light going on and off due to cold. It must be a cold issue
for that model. When the outside temp drops to 25F or lower the TPMS will
stay on and remain on even on the highway until the outside temp goes to at
least 30F and after at least a few hours.

Apparently its not a sensor problem or a tire problem its just a Honda fluke
with that model and with a certain degree of coldness...weird!
