What owners wrote
2002 honda civic 1.6 automatic gear equipped with cark-91 nokia car kit crashed. Possible reason was interference of electromagnetic signals of car kit with electronic throttle control. Car was in parking place. Cellular phone (nokia 5110) installed to car kit. Engine has been started. Rear gear selected. With slow input to throttle caused rapid acceleration to back. My wife tried to stop the car with braking but possibly with panic she pushed the throttle pedal instead of brake pedal.
