I know that it is against Honda's recommendations, but we successfully towed our 04 Accord auto tranny for years (probably 20000 miles) without any problems. Just follow the instructions for the CRV. After hooking up, with engine idling shift from 1st to 2nd to 3rd to Drive pausing a couple of seconds in each position, then shift to neutral, idle for 3 min, then turn key to ACC position and enjoy your trip. Repeat procedure every 8 hrs ( we do this when we stop for lunch or rest breaks.
When we bought 04 Accord, Honda did approve it for towing 4down, but changed there policy in 05 or so. We traded the tow dolly shortly after the Honda warranty expired.
