S vs SX

[GaDad]

I know this ground has been covered before, but there are a couple of interests for me in particular. Normally I am not a bells and whistles kind of guy, and I would be perfectly happy with the S trim level. But two things are making me consider the SX trim level despite a significant price increase. They are: 1) the blind spot camera, and 2) the increased number of radio speakers. I’ve been driving a Honda Odyssey minivan on family trips, and I have found the blind spot camera to be very useful. Additionally, I want to make sure that my kids seated in the third row can actually hear what’s playing on the sound system. That has been an issue in the Odyssey.
SX owners, is the Soundsystem good enough for kids on the third row to be able to hear what’s playing? Alternatively, S owners, have you been able to find an aftermarket upgrade to address this issue?
Thanks for your help!

Ohhh I guarantee they will hear it. So will people outside your SX with windows rolled up, if you just take the volume to 3/4 of the way up. And I am not joking. It’s dope.

The blind spot feature with the camera view is an awesome feature, but most importantly a great safety feature that is well worth it.

Another reason to SERIOUSLY consider the SX is the LED headlight system. It literally is a difference of night & day. The headlights alone make it worth it. Dive through this forum and one of the biggest complaints is the headlights in lower trims and everyone is trying to upgrade to LED bulbs. The Telly LED headlights are on par or better in my opinion with BMW or Mercedes or any other "premium" brand.

Led - here is the main reason to choose sx.
The blind spot camera is a dubious thing for me, I used it at first. now not, as it distracts and time is wasted on the translation of the gaze.
Telluride has a very good algorithm for the blind spot detector system - enough with a full.
