I'm considering the purchase of a 2005 Accord DX with AC. I understand that on the DX model, air conditioning is a dealer-installed option. I'm concerned that a dealer-installed AC will not be as reliable as a factory-installed unit. Is this a valid concern? Thanks in advance.

no concern at all,I work at a dealer and have installed a/c kits in all the time,they are the same kit the factory uses.Car is all pre-wired for the install.

 

I also work at a dealership and agree with bill-71ss

 

plus, if it's dealer installed, it's covered under warranty..
