hi all, wanna ask if anyone can provide a pic of the dashboard or the location of the AUX plug? Wanna get an AUX cable with mic but the mic is on the plug and wanna see if the position is good enough to channel the voice

guys. you should beware of the CVT gear box. Please google about it or from the previous Gen honda city. prevent technical failure before its too late. Car stationary and full acceleration, playing with 'S' mode, drive car with cvt like a race car with high rev, not a good idea. Don't end up paying RM 14k for a new CVT gearbox.....Just a little friendly advice.

Plenty of silver insight in stock now. I found out that these cars didnt just got off the boat from Japan but came with the first batch before the big quake. Its just that some parts are missing and needs them to complete the car. Dunno how true is this though. Maybe its not completely CBU as claimed. Parts like seats, tires, all pasang here?

btw which tires are "better" - the Dunlops or Bridgestone?

Did my first service at the new Honda Autoworld in Paya Jaras yesterday. Not busy at all even close at 10am, maybe because it is still working hours. Not much to report since it is only first service. Provide breakfast and the place is super clean. The layanan is also great. They say they provide semi synthetic for oil change as regulate by HM. Finished in 30 mins.

I noticed some MADE IN THAILAND PARTS such as those plastic covers...my bridgestone Turanza seems to wear out fast...maybe its off softer compound..

Now in Actmar service center for 5k. Reach here @ 7.45am, learn a lesson from previous visit. I'm the 16th customer, lol. Apparently no appointments during saturday, which sucks. Let's c how long I'm gonna wait.

The whole process took 2 n half hours, okla not bad. The maintenance includes change of semi syn oil n washer drain. Insist wheel alignment n balancing check which cost around RM44.

My bro-in-law had his cvt gear changed as well (2nd previous gen city). I rev the engine hard only when in 's'...u could feel much more responsive n smooth, no dragging whatsoever, contrary when u rev at 'd'. Its like the cvt is straining. That's y we have that 'L' gear for slopes. But then again, gotta remind myself of the vulnerability of cvt gearboxes.

usually i will use S whenever i need to overtake a car. Treated it like O/D on a auto gear.
also use S sometimes when i need a good pick up after i reduce speed especially on slope. Pretty much like shifting back to gear 1- 2 from gear 3 - 5 on a manual car.

i would say i drive like a manual car with this S and D mode. S = 1 - 2. D = 3 - 5. would that be a problem to this CVT like u guys mentioned?

Free semi syn oil?

Yea, it's under 10k service

If already in high speed can just switch to Low gear?

I have included the radio photo with the aux circled in yellow.

was parking in open-air car park today... got 3 hybrids in a row... my IN2 in middle, another white IN2 to my left, and a silver Prius in the right.

of all 3 cars, some passers-by stopped and was looking @ my car (probably wondering if the DRLs i pasang comes w/the car or not ).

not bad. of all 3 hybrids, mine catches their attention. aisehhhh....
