  1. Annual Service, Health Check, iPod adaptor, etc 01

    Started to work on another NSX from mid this week.
    The service menu is to carry out Health Check in place of Annual Service, installation of iPod adaptor USA Spec PA11-HON together with audio head unit OH, etc.

    I don't see the point of following the standard annual service menu that is designed for the modern cars and for all sorts of Honda models considering the classic status and usage of NSX.

    So, first, went through the service history
