I'm using stock and add a under seat woofer so far so good for personal enjoyment

but u pay more in servicing every 5k km. in the end, the maintenance costs more than the petrol saved. not to mention about the time spent doing 5k km service.

if honda practice the 10k km interval, then it'll be much more economical and consumer friendly

i dont have insight, almost bought one, until i looked at the maintenance schedule.

Just realized that our alarm system has the beeping/buzzer function to signal arming and disarming alarm. Did some research and managed to successfully program mine with the buzzer function

HM purposely deactivated the function, not sure why, and SCs reluctant to activate it for me. Asked me to go to Cobra, to get it activated and they do not want to be involved if anything wrong were to happen. Went to Cobra Tmn Tun, but the technician forgot to asked me to bring the PIN number for the alarm, which is needed to program. So went back and did some research, got this dealer's manual and DIY it and it was successful.

Take note : Pg 25 : List of Programmable Functions,
Pg: 28 : How to Program , Pg 29 : Functions Tables.

For those who are lazy to read, here are brief instructions to do it.
1) Disarm your car

2) open driver's door,

3) Click open your bonnet,

4) put in your key switch it to ON, wait 15 seconds,

5) Tricky Part: KEY IN PIN Number @ the control panel button next to your ignition switch (Cobra PIN provided by HM when they handed over the keys to you), On how to key in Pin, please refer to the PIN Card behind. IF SUCCESSFUL, you can see the INDICATOR LIGHTS blink once. Else if you do not see it, take out key and wait 5-10 seconds before repeating Part 4.

6) Once you see the INDICATOR LIGHTS blink, press the control panel button and hold it (Approx 3 Seconds) till you hear a BEEEEEP continuously. (ok now its activated). You can let go now.

7) To adjust the volume of the Buzzer function, press the control panel button again to adjust from volume 0 - volume 7 (being the loudest). Press once to upgrade from volume 1 to 2, press once again to 2-3 and so forth, once volume has reached volume 7, the next press would be silent, meaning its volume 0. Adjust to liking.

8) After adjusting, remove key. close door, close bonnet.

9) Test your alarm now.... !

I'm loving the buzzing function now, too bad our alarm does not have the auto lock function, else it definitely would be programable. Not too sure about the volumetric sensors too. According to Cobra technician, our exact alarm model is Cobra 4465 (not too sure if its the right model tho), perhaps do more research and see what can be done from there.

Here is the brochure for our alarm and its functions: Cobra Bridge 4400 Brochure

Technically, if HM is complaining bout warranty of the alarm if they hear the sound, we can just switch it off anytime we want when we send it to service or if we want to get something replaced.

another tip to try, make sure ur pin number is correct and never change before.
to test it out, arm ur alarm and open ur door with the key. then now is turn to key in ur pin number that attach to ur spare key.

if correct pin entered, the alarm will stop. this also a good change for u to test the timing but of cos noisy la...

i believe la...after turn the ignition ON (key position at II), u must wait 15sec or more before start to key in the pin numbers. take a stop watch with u

Added on February 13, 2012, 12:38 amI am now very interest to enable the "Activation of automatic system arming" feature. from the description it mean that
"This function enables the automatic arming of the system after the engine has been switched off and the door on the driver's side has been opened and closed within 30sec"

what we currently have now is when we disarm the car and never open any door, the alarm will auto lock back the car after certain of time.

what i worry is that chances the car key will be lock inside will be getting higher...

Should be ok since the auto arming happens when the engine is switched off and driver door has been opened. U can also test whether the auto arm still engages if the key is still in the slot. Insight have sensor for key e.g beeping if u open the door while leaving the key in slot. Keep your window open while testing this or u might want to keep your spare key around.

I have a bad experience last time, with my old car, when my car keys were still inside and engine running, the alarm suddenly autolock. 

I got some query in fuelly on how can i achieve average 19km/l.

This is my reply.

My aircond always set at 28degree. The most 26degree in the afternoon.

I always maximize my momentum by extending the charging period before stops. Abrupt stops is waste of energy.

My daily journey is on normal state road (not highway) so i can keep my speed nicely between 70-90km/h. Those were the most economical speed for Insight.

I've tried maintaining 160km/h, fuel economy drops to around 16-17km/l only.

I always make sure my average per tank hits >19km/l before fuel up. I always refuel @ indicator blink. Yeah sometimes i only get ard 18km/l only. Sometimes i purposely drive out to improve the reading, while buying burgers or something. U will notice that if u maintain speed @ 70km/h for some 5km or so, the reading will shoot up to 20+km/l for current journey. I always prevent too short journey and prefer longer route to get better mileage record.

I limit engine warmup every morning by shifting to S or L after start the engine for a few seconds and let the car crawl. Once the C (cold) indicator lights off, i resume driving normally. I notice lengthy warm up in the morning badly affect the FC.

I never/very, very seldom let the engine on while stationary e.g, stop by burger stall, go to atm machine etc.

Hi gadget2us, I had tried many time but still fail.
Question :
1) which key u used to switch ON (spare key or remote control key)?
2) after successful key in the last digit pin code, what indicator light on the LED?

1. Either keys should work.I use the remote control key.
2. The car signal will blink one time (so call indicator light also)

I can't also. Switch on mean turn the ignition once or twice?
