this evening I drove friend to pick up his car at Honda workshop and saw few honda workmen discuss on the auto-lock system. Sound that there is build in auto-lock system in insight, just need to set something on the system. When you press brake or drive until certain limit, the door will auto-lock and while you placed your gearbox to "P", the door will become unlock. sound interesting.
Do your guy noticed this as well?

[quote=groovy,Apr 26 2011, 08:22 PM] 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.

QUOTE(groovy @ Apr 26 2011, 08:37 PM) i've gone through the manual too.. apparently the menu in the o/s to enable/disable the autolock has been removed  Anyway my SA told me our malaysian import cant be programmed to enable the autolock.. I saw the menu to enable the autolock on that workman's hand, haih, i suppose ask him on that more

to avoid autostop, perhaps you can off the econ mode while you pressing break...... Or, pull the hand brake without pressing brake  Added on May 3, 2011, 8:02 pmI've got car on labour day and yesterday applied tinting on my gf insight. the uv deduction is 99% and heat deduction is 90%, everything less than 1k. coz my friend provides a best price to me This post has been edited by limbryan: May 3 2011, 08:02 PM

QUOTE(HoongYau @ May 3 2011, 08:20 PM) limbryan, is your friend shop at Penang? PM me your friend shop location & contact number...  Sent d  Added on May 4, 2011, 7:50 amQUOTE(debbierowe @ May 3 2011, 09:59 PM) hi wat brand is ur tint? can tinting be maximum security + heat proof same time? for me i would want security max 1st, heat later for me, i'm more preferred minimize heat and uv, that's why the price less than 1k. of coz it's hard to find outside tinting shop for this price coz he is my best bro. I'm not sure what brand it is, as long as the quality is good and provide certain waranty then evertyhing is fine to me. for security max, perhaps you can choose cobra system (not tinting) which can minimize the percentage of stolen.

my gf hits kelisa when reserve yesterday. the reason is the rear side is too high & can't sensor with the object which is lower than it. anyone experience it before. fortunately no one injured and just little scratched on the rear bumper

QUOTE(eltaria @ May 5 2011, 08:22 AM) How can the sensor not 'sense' a kelisa behind? That's odd... Sure bo? ya, actually i said i want to make compliant to Honda Malaysia but my gf said there is really a huge distance as the rear side of insight is really high (maybe need space to load battery la) if compared with kelisa.  Added on May 5, 2011, 8:48 amQUOTE(infinitium @ May 5 2011, 08:24 AM) sorry to hear you kena scratch. kelisa so low one meh, until your sensor cannot detect? seems weird. think your sensor got some alignment problems... shd go in and check w/servicing... agreed, i will highlight to service centre during 1st service. hope they look it seriously.

QUOTE(mardzi @ May 5 2011, 11:10 AM) hmmm.. female driver. sooo obvious. when hit something then blame other things then themselves driving skills. hard to believe 4 sensor cannot pickup even one Big object behind it. The only reason i can say is not the fault of sensor as if normal car with 2 sensor then i believe its not align properly but 4 sensor means she reverse it too fast and cause either the sensor did not pick it up the object or she panic and push the accelerator rather than the brake. Not really, she is a careful driver. Actually, sometime there is no "beep" sound when I place to "R" from my insight gearbox. maybe you can try on this.

QUOTE(infinitium @ May 5 2011, 07:31 PM) going for 1st service/1000km tmrw. how long did you guys have to spend @ service center... for yr 1st 'virgin' service?  actually for 1st service, it usually will take less than 1hour due to they are just doing some checking on it withot replace any thing. Added on May 5, 2011, 8:36 pmmy gf told me that her students who sit in the insight didn't feel hot even place their hand on the window..... ^^. worth to me spend money and time to done the tinting at my bro's shop This post has been edited by limbryan: May 5 2011, 08:36 PM

QUOTE(infinitium @ May 6 2011, 08:21 AM) i nearly got into accident today... stupid pajero driver from the left cut in, i don't want to let the fella in (you signal last minute, your problem). for the next 500m he keep fighting with me want to cut... i STILL refuse let him in, in the end he came in behind me, cut to my left and drove off. think i was 1cm away from his pajero... luckily no contact else sure scratch (if he touched my car, i would have stopped and intro him to my baseball bat). hope he saw my nice middle finger as he was driving off  lesson for today: 4x4 drivers sometimes think they are king of the road and can bully others because of their size. they are obviously wrong. today, mr. pajero learnt valuable lesson - Do Not F*** with Hybrid Drivers  cool down, just think your insight is still new baby.

QUOTE(westlife @ May 7 2011, 09:46 AM) ic. good luck to u. hope u can "officially" join in the group soon. i collected mine in apr, and last time my SA told me may will be the last batch of collection with their remaining stock. after may confirmed no more new car for collection definitely. I've sent my NHC for service, located at Jln Ipoh and asked for Insight delivery if new booking. I have been told that the deliver of new batch Insight might be in Nov 2011. Meanwhile, I've asked him on the intruction of auto-lock setting while driving. He said for Insight does has this function and no need to do autolock outside. As for the instruction, he will try to get from his SA. I'll get from him upon I'm collecting my car after done. Hope it's true

QUOTE(areszues92 @ May 7 2011, 02:35 PM) Yeah meh? I sent to SC for 1st service they say cannot enable auto-lock wor..they won't do it. I asked the service people regarding the auto-lock thing yesterday, he tried to talk with his superior. His superior said recently they did try to use CR-V autolock manual to apply on insight but can't. anyhow, he said they're waiting the autolock manual of insight from Honda. when got it, they will give me a copy of it. I think i will go there again within 2 weeks from now coz need to send my gf insight for 1st service. I will ask them and keep you all inform if any updated.

The first impression was very good esp my 5 months son was laughing inside. but the waiting was horrible, the sale person told me need 3-4 months due to no car come from Japan after the earthquake. He told me last month already no car d. Melaka Honda showroom. Does this happen to others place? No discount or anything given.Only give 15% discount if u use the tint from them. Brand is winguard. couple weeks ago, there were few people travel more than 3hour drive to get their new insight since there was no insight available at their place. now become more difficulties to get even one within malaysia. fortunately i got my one last week.
