Anyone tried the above?
I tried accessing the menu, and seems only under "Door Setup" it doesnt have AUTO LOCK function.
*
Just spoke to my SA. the auto-lock menu has been disabled and cant be reprogrammed in order to cut costs.

Guys, I got my Insight on 23/2/2011. Got some info to share and ask also.

1st time drive out, pour about 40 liter full tank.
Now my meter totalizing > 3600km, so far everytime I run until around 600 - 640km only refuel back about 31 - 32 liter. So fuel consumption is around 18 - 20km/L (for normal drive on KL highways, plus some jams).
Noticed petrol yellow light normally ON once you used about 31 - 32 liter (this means you still have spare 8 liter).

Today I just found a way to trigger the 100% Battery mode.
When run low speed smoothly (no climbing hill) and when you see combine battery+fuel mode, release the pedal and re-engage the pedal very lightly, then 100% battery mode will cut in.
Any extra accelerate/ battery drain/ climb hill will trigger combine battery+fuel mode again.

For those who never see battery full charge, I see before.
Just try to maximize any going down sloping (sacrifice some speed) during your battery full -1 bar.

I find that the sound proofing is not bad (as compared to Myvi, Vios and City). The tyre noise maybe is because some unit comes with Dunlop tyre (mine is Bridgestone Turanza).

Today did tinted, found some noise at 2 doors, possibly due to wiring not perfectly refit? Anyone have experience?

And do you guys roughly know how many Insight on the road now?
*
What was your Range indicator when you refuel? Was it less than 50km left?

thought I'd let everyone know I drove on spare tank for a while after hitting 0 range, did another 70km.. I believe we could do another 130 km on the spare tank after hitting 0 range

hmm... Malacca State EXCO might be getting Insight as state official car
*
Proton is releasing a range of hybrid cars this year, most likely below RM100k. It would look unpatriotic if exco members drive around in Hondas. Cant they wait?

Just found the double din bracket for the honda insight, for anybody who wants to change their audio systems. But it's the US variant.. Has anybody found the right version for the local market?

i also would like to change a/v system.. how much probably d cost?

changing the bracket alone would set you back around rm600 because you need to order it frm abroad. The pioneer costs around RM1500 or less

I really get pissed off whenever I read Jeremy Clarkson's review of the Honda Hybrid

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/driving/j...icle6294116.ece

Any comments about this idiot's review?

relax because i think hybrid is cleaner but to make the batery of couse will have some polution long run like 5 to 10 year per batery i think will save the earth but not yet fully safe untill we can manage to find a storage divice that can store longer life spend and use for longer than 10 or 20 years.

able to be reuse after trow ...

The best solution is still the hydrogen car. The gas is the most abundant in the universe and the hydrogen stations set up by honda to power FX Clarity are solar powered. Unfortunately the US govt didnt give the green light to the hydrogen infratstructure

Those all insight owner, is your spare key come with remote? If no, can I fabricate one separate remote outside? As my SA told me, Honda Charge for RM 800++ for a new remote wave key.
*
Rm800 is cheaper then what my Honda dealer charges me, RM1k. The key can't be replicated by any shop, only through Honda or the Cobra people

Of course it can still run. You're good for another 100km at least. I have tested this but it is not recommended to drive on mostly empty tanks because the oxidation from the unused tank may damage the engine

It should left u about 8L, so still can drive about 80-100km but better advise to refuel.
*
i think it's 6.9L left.. According to the manual, the spare tank is 6.9L

What I meant whenever the fuel tank warning come up and u go refill, u will get 32L. Since our tank has 40L that make it left 8L.
*
yes correct, Fuel Low indicator comes out when your Range hits 50km
