Hi to everyone!
Some of us have the Accord 10th gen in EU and have it a bit harder to deal with mods for EU, spare parts and upgrade purchase... (e.g. km/h, Celsius... mods)
I am creating this post so we can share info thus help each other.

Yesterday we had unofficial meet-up with feldsam in Bratislava and there the idea of this post popped up.

Mods:
feldsam is a great guy and he already created few great posts (they are regularly updated):
[Solved and working] Apple CarPlay Wireless on 2018 EX-L
Original driver side convex mirror replacement for Europe driving
How to change fahrenheit to celsius and vice-versa on climate control - feldsam helped me personally with programing and I would propose to contact him for help with it.
Handle for the trunk (it fits/installed many times):
Honda part number - 84635-SEA-003ZF

Spare parts:
Oil filter - it is the same as for Accord CU1 (EU 2008 to 2015); Purflux LS350 or MANN-FILTER W 610/6
Cabin filter (it is the same as for Accord CU1 (EU 2008 to 2015):
-- CUK 2358 – is with charcoal
-- CU 2358 - cheaper version without charcoal
-- FP 2358 - biofunctional pollen filte (upgraded charcoal)

Hybrid air filter - the part number is 17220-5K0-A00. If you go to https://www.autodoc.de/ and search for it you will get a lot of results where you can select what fits you best.


In general or original Honda parts can be bought by every Honda dealer if you have the VIN or even better is part number.

Also interesting it would be to know how many of us are from EU and if a meet-up would be an idea.

For the import to EU - in general all EU countries obide by the same law/rules UN-ECE. However for the imports there are different exceptions by different countries.
In general there are lots of info online for what needs to be done on cars to import them.

In Slovenia (to what I have figured out) it is one of the worst country to import car from US as all the rules are followed to the point while in other countries there can exceptions (e.g. front light straight beam can be kept).
The mods on Accord X needed are:
  • rear fog light with switch and the indicator light if turned on (switch with a light) at the driver area. The switch also needs the picture that it is for the rear fog light - you can buy a switch on e.g. aliexpress
  • turn signals on the side of the car (not all trims have it) - turn signals on the side mirrors
  • front light adjustment (to not have fully straight beam but the right side has it higher) - luckily the lights can be adjusted to correct level for the measuring equipment to detect correct light beam. Most countries have an exception for this

If needed I do know a guy in Munich that arranges all the needed things for different countries with needed TUEV/GTUE/DEKRA papers (I can give contact PM me if needed).

It's simple. U have two reverse lights. Swap one to fog light! Simple! (Of course add another wire with cabin switch). Btw any one found front headlights wity cutoff line? Regulations in Eu are making me angry. I want to get Acura MDX. But after my first journey with accord 2020 probably i won't make it... In US accord is first or second in sales fogures. There are no car accidents due to headlights but European regulator knows better. They knows everything better than anyone. If anyone has solution with headlight please write it down and help other accord owners.

Thank You!

Hi desmil, First of all, I apologise for my poor English, and I have found your forum full of interesting information for importing into the EU, very useful. I am from Slovenia and I have been following the Accord X gen. but with 2.0t and 10 speed automatic gearbox for some time. Desmil, you mentioned Slovenia and import restrictions, I wonder if you are from there? I mean, I would like to import a car from Poland and I am gathering information so that I know what I have to be prepared for, what I have to expect. with best regards, Joze

Hi guys,I recommend it primarily to European Accord X owners. Due to a mistaken purchase, I am selling a Radar for a 2019 2.0T 6MT Sport type car. I can ship it from Hungary to any EU country. All information is in the photos, but write to me if you have any questions, thank you.
Sziasztok srácok,
Elsősorban európai Accord X tulajdonosoknak ajánlom. Téves vásárlás miatt eladom egy 2019-es 2.0T 6MT Sport típusú autóhoz való Radart. Magyarországról EU országba tudom szállítani. Minden információ a fotókon megtalálható, de írj, ha bármi kérdésed van, köszönöm.
