Hmm I do have to put the key in the door when I’m reconnecting the battery, or else the car alarm will go off. That’s the only thing I’ve noticed though — maybe it’s just too old to have more complex features? I never listen to radio, so the stations may be reset and I just don’t notice.

My accord is a 2007 so not much newer than yours. We can Uber around for most trips but find it very convenient to have a car at times. If it works for you great, I thought that was a fairly common thing- particularly in cars of that era, because radio theft used to be so common.
