Read the manual and tried the 'customize setting', then go to 'door setting', but can't see the 'auto lock', although it is written in the manual.. guess this 'auto lock' feature is disabled for malaysia insight. Am I right?

dont worry...they have a check list what to be check on that day...in V2 some member also come out some check list to check. u can go find it n have a look on it.

i also not sure what need to check...sure that day collecting the car, the mind will blank n empty...

today my car sent to puspakom for inspection...just know that they will drive the car over, that mean ~50km distance travel when i collect my car >.< hope the driver drive carefully n slowly there...

It tooks me a while to search and get the checklist. I thought of sharing it here again to increase the chance of searching it successfully.

**It would be great if this can be put at the front page. Thanks.

really not use to the engine on n off...just waiting my autogate to open it also turn off >.<

can feel the jerk for the motor kick in esp drive slow at jam.

overall like it very much smile.gif the sound system also impressive from my point of view.

Dennis, how does the foot light work? It will turn on only when the head lamp is on? Is there any switch with it? Is it come with dimming effect? Is it light up on the driver seat side?

Kinda interested on the beta package as well.

Well, I don't have any e-book for sell but I do have something to share among Honda insight owners. And it's FREE!

Did a quick search online and found this:

i couldnt remember where i've read on  the insight glass which is heat resistance. i do checked with the SA and he did mentioned that insight glasses are made to resist heat, in 1 word, it is better than the others honda car glasses. dunno how true it is.

but i do feel it is cooler than my previous civic, which is fully tinted.
*
Yeah, it was written in the honda insight official brochure, under the "Exterior" section. It is called "Heat Absorbing Glass (Side & Rear)"

Cool.. biggrin.gif

Is it really matter if we do not wait till some of the lights (such as ABS, airbag, etc...) to turn off before starting the engine?

So for the cars that have the "Start-Stop Engine" button such as Forte, they usually have to start their engine immediately without waiting the lights to be turned off..

I read the Insight manual and it does not mention about waiting the light off before starting engine...

it just confused me a bit, so is it ok to start the Insight engine without waiting the lights to be turned off?? Will it harm the engine or the car??

Thanks, yeah, you are right. it's always good to take extra steps to take care of our car since it does not take many efforts to do that, just wait for few seconds only.. biggrin.gif

I known this for years as well, it just suddenly confused me a bit when I realized those cars that have the "Start-Stop Engine" button, they can't wait till the light off before starting the engine.. smile.gif

There are no settings to be done at all...
Just go to any shop install the front/rear cameras... then after that plug the cable into Garmin...
The camera view is automatically triggered upon gear change

Where do you place your GPS? And what type of camera are you using? Appreciate if you can share the photo.. thank you.. smile.gif

Dear all,
I have installed a "brake lock" in the carshop. Basically it will auto-lock the doors when I press the brake.

However, when i start the engine, it "unlock" my car again. I have to press the brake again to lock it back.

I go back to the carshop and he said this is normal for all honda cars installing "brake lock". And, he said, normally people go in the car, start the engine then only press the brake and lock the car.

I have to accept it at first. But now think back, it does not make sense. Because if I go in the car and immediately lock the door (either through brake lock or using the master central lock), then start the engine, it unlocks the doors..

I did it at Breyton at the Crystal Point, Penang.

Is it true of what he said??

Can anyone advise me? Thank you.

any good accessory shop can do for you. mine in Penang was RM150. auto-lock when step on pedal, but no auto-unlock when off-engine.
*
Mine is auto lock when step on brake pedal and then auto-unlock when off-engine...

But the problem is, when i start engine, it will unlock the door with the irritating "unlock" sound.


Ends up, I go back to them and ask them to remove the auto-unlock.. just leave the auto-lock..

Is it referring to first generation of insight? Coz the date is 01 not 11. Please correct me if I am wrong..
