yes it is suppose to be programmable but honda malaysia have purposely disabled it to cut cost. now if anyone can crack the' software', that would be nice..

From what i can see is there are several steps need to do and there is manual to guide you to do so. Anyhow, when i send fror 1st service, i ll ask them for more details. smile.gif

i've gone through the manual too.. apparently the menu in the o/s to enable/disable the autolock has been removed sad.gif

Anyway my SA told me our malaysian import cant be programmed to enable the autolock..

But i dont understand why would people want to label honda insight as a sports car while it's not. The hybrid intelligent sports emblem would have been more suitable on a CRZ.

I think that is what is known as plug in hybrid, as from a post before not long ago...
one more thing, place the gear in N or P, then ram engine until rpm 3000 and more will also recharge the battery, though it is not recommended to do it often

arghh...this is what I need.. a plug-in hybrid car..

777km so far... avg 16.5km/L... 100% PG city driving... 50% jams, 50% normal cruising @ 50-60km/h. Eco-mode 100% on, A/C set to low.
*
777km is for the entire tank with the spare tank included or only for 33 litres of tank only?

I saw this tiny speedometer icon but not sure what it is. The manual doesn't seem to show neither. Anyone know?  hmm.gif

it's definitely too soft. it's almost useless... horn angrily and nobody pays attention (unlike my old Hella Twin Tone).

i'm changing my car horn soon - just bought Hella SuperTone from Amazon, and will put that in when it arrives. 118db of powerrr. that one if horn, sure the kapchai motorbike fellas in front will get heart attack biggrin.gif

all hail Hella. king of horns!  notworthy.gif

I dont know about you, but i think the horn is pretty loud. It sounds soft when you hear it from inside the car. but try standing outside the car and the sound will be blasting away

Mizam, thanks for your offer of 85k, it sound more reasonable than the 20% depreciation or 'if you sell at 80k I may consider'.  But right now I have not decided yet.

Eltaria, no need to argue so much, you may need to reconsider your purchase because insight resale price will drop to 76k according to your 20% dereciation rule, it's very stupid to buy new car, so I suggest you to wait until January 2012.  No need to pm me with bullshit anymore.

BTW I am not surprised car will depreciate but not 20% for a Honda under 100k and one month old and yet you are the first one who pm me seconds after I said I might sell and it shows that you are so keen to grab a bargain and try to talk down the price but things turn sour to you later on.  For a 9 year loan taker like you better buy new car.

Well not surprising at all. Same goes to ipad..iphone..the usual I heard..we heard new one coming! The world is always progressing and every second newer better product are appearing. So the best time is to buy when you NEED it. The worst is buying bcoz you WANT it, for this you will never satisfy wanting newer spec product. Price depend on demand vs supply, I guess when the 1.5 Hybrid finally appear..it could be selling at RM130-150K, demand going to be good since fuel are getting costlier every few months and our beloved Govt will not always give duty free CBU vehicles. Oh one more thing for those who are not aware ..RM72,000 total duties waived for our CBU Insight.  whistling.gif  brows.gif

Agree...I read the hybrid battery has a DC-DC converter for the 12V system and it turns on and off as needed. Better make sure any electrical modification are done by professionals.
