well, the head unit is fully compatible with almost all smartphone to receive and making calls. it can also store your contact information from your smartphone. it also support playing mp3 from the phone without any hassle. fully tested with my lumia and my wife's S4. yes, it is a big let down not be able to mirror and use apps from other than iphone. but it'll to for me for now. hopefully they'll update the software to support android soon..

Hi, I have a windows phone as well. That's great info! The SA at the showroom wasn't able to verify whether it can user other functionalities from windows phone. So you mentioned that you can play mp3 via the usb port, and also receive calls via bluetooth?

Many thanks if you can validate this!!! Thanks smile.gif

New update guys!

I was able to mirror my S4 to the city's head unit via the HDMI cable.
No tweak, no set up, just plug and play!

Movie watching.

Got try playing videos via USB pendrive? Would really like to know if its possible  tongue.gif

yes, i tried. but i can only detect .mp4 files. it cant play huge files. not sure the restriction is on the size or the resolution. but smaller file (less than 500mb with low resolution can be played without problem. but no option to pause, ff or rw.. huhu

so far, i noticed the voice control can be used to read incoming message and reply to it. never tried replying yet though.. no idea on what else it can do..

my first full tank (RM77.01) harvested 472KM....now currently running on my 2nd tank (RM76.00)....looking at potentially crossing 500KM... biggrin.gif how is ur usage bro??
*
tried to be light footed but sometimes still over rev. My first tank was 36litres and brought me up to 520km. That was around 14.4km/l. I think it is just ok for first tank since every parts are still very tight. My idsi city previously able to achieve 15km/l almost every fill up. Im looking at 600km/full tank as benchmark for this new city..

Can u share the cable link from lelong?

Previously had bought one for my Note 2, but its unable to use on my TV, i douth it will be same for Honda.

The only hope right now is HondaLink for andriod and purchase GPS (USD69) via honda link doh.gif
*
i believe the cable is similar to note 2. I think your problem is caused by the software. My s4 also previously unable to mirror on tv with less than full HD resolution. But once updated to kitkat, it can mirror to any tv regardless of the tv resolution..

anything related to video like movie/video clip even for mirror the image using hdmi port only can be view when u pull up the handbrake. so the answer is no while the car on da move.
*
just to be more accurate, the video function is disabled once the car is moving(even the hand brake is still pulled up).. huhu

Previously bought this type from Ebay, its dont not work on my S3 & Note 2

If your one is smiliair like this
http://www.lelong.com.my/samsung-galaxy-s3...5-02-Sale-P.htm

Its need another HDMI cable
http://www.lelong.com.my/high-quality-1m-1...7-01-Sale-I.htm
Which i think is too messy to had so many cable around.

I not sure how Iphone HDMI cable look like, if it only need a simple design, may highly consider Iphone for my next gadget sweat.gif
*
Im using this cable here
2in1 MHL HDMI Cable Galaxy Note 1 2 S3 S4 S2 HTC One Xperia LG Optimus

The cable can be used for almost all phone since it has adapter for 11 and 5 pin port.

BTW, I used to have the cable from your first link. It works fine on S3, S4 and note 2. please note that S3 and Note 2 mirroring requires you to connect the usb cable to the power outlet. then only it will work. if you already did that, maybe you need to update the software of your phone. huhu

i already ordered the hdmi streaming media player through groupon malaysia. plan to test this unit with my ride.

i think to make this works, you need both the dongle and your phone to connect to same access point/router and it actually streams via internet. So it would be a bit of hassle to be used if you're outdoor even though possible. Huhu

I noticed we have S mode too as in Thai version but we did not have paddle shift. do u guys try this S mode? hw the driving feel? then hw about L mode?
*
in S Mode the gearbox will delay the gearshift until the rpm reaches the optimum torque for shifting. Not sure until what rpm since i still haven't found the rpm-torque curve,for this engine. This is a BIG no no for fuel consumption's efficiency. Therefore i never tried it yet. Huhu

Dear God, what did i do wrong..

Not even two weeks the car in action, already the first casualty..

Dunno where the stone came from. No lorry nearby, the car in front was like 100 meters away and I was decelerating for the red traffic light..

I saw a viper scratch instead, not a stone chip.

I hope it's just a scratch too but it is not. there are a clear dent of stone chip on the wind screen. at first it was like 8 cm long only. but it stops at around 2 ft. hope it doesn't get worse. will try to send for repair first tomorrow..

I will try to go for repair first at dr-windscreen.. if they can fix it, no need to replace first. quite reluctant to change coz i installed a pretty high quality tint when bought the car. no more budget to install it again within short period of time.. huhu
