I had, sorry for the language ... no bloody f***ing idea such thread existed for the humble city till today while i was searching for ways to tackle one problem (more on that later). Super nice thread and already v3 guess i am such a slowpoke lol. Anyway City owner here for about 1.5 months already (details below)

I.D = frozz@holic
Car = City
Model = V spec
Color = Black (duh! why would i want other colors haha )

Alright 1 major issue or rather the stupidity of Honda Malaysia I have with them is the lack of the ability to watch video while on the go for safety reason, WTH !!
any idiot knows the driver won't watch movie while he is driving duh ~ its for the passengers and gps usage!!
so i saw on page 1 the bypass solution for screen mirroring ... I have a couple of question hope sifus can help.

1. Does method 2,3,4 voids warranty ? or only method 1 does voids ?
2. after installing the bypass (any method) does it only allows screen mirroring while driving or also allows watching movie/videos on the USB during motion/driving ?


P.S does installing the RM450 reverse camera (or any other brands) also voids the honda warranty ?



really ? i don't see any such rules on their booklet ?
anyway thank for the info ... guess i was lucky i did mine on 1448km

usually while they are servicing your car, do you wait at the waiting area or go down to the service area and see what they are doing ?
cause you are very lucky they decides to reimburse you... i know many wouldn't get reimburse back.
i always go down to the service area and see my car and what those personal are doing ... its the only way to make absolutely sure else they can simply change your parts you also won't know.

Honda SC will always tell you that you can't go into the service area but who will check ?
I did mine at the USJ branch, just dont use the main door to service area ... go by the sides.

I see bro ... i think you need to PR a little with the technician or maybe "brother brother a bit" cause i went with my colleague 3 weeks back for his repairs (same branch as yours the chan sow lin kah motors) and both of us were beside the technician the whole time he repair my colleague's car (it was my idea to stand and watch)

and I was beside my car at the service area when i took it for first service at USJ branch. call me scaredy cat but i cant help but worry they will simply switch my parts

3 months is quite long actually .... usually its around 2 months or less when there is no or not much stock.
I got my car (V spec) approx. 5 weeks from the day i deposit RM 750 less than the 2 mths my SA said so i am lucky i guess. the wait is good though, you tend to appreciate your car more


P.S Can some kind soul post some links to where i can get a HDMI MHL cable for mirroring my s4 to HU ? I cant find any suitable ones at lowyat sadly

just curious though what concert is happening on the 14th ?
furthermore return trip of yours 1000km ? so much !! where you live ?

OMG Jay Chou !! gonna check for tickets now ... still got or not ?

btw new car you take to a concert ... not save dangerous ~

Don't you know in Malaysia we have many Artistic people who when see new things is like seeing new white canvas that they can spray on ... lol

I just finish DIY the bypass cable and let me just say this i thought its easy but it's so damn hard to maneuver around inside under the HU, to say the space is small and compact is an understatement cause its very very narrow i can never get more that 1 finger to absolutely move freely and its at an acute angle makes it all the more tedious. i got scratches all over both arm. lucky i dont have big hands, if you got big arms or a build physique you gonna have a hard time.

so bro you can do the soundproofing ? May I know where is your shop located ?
was thinking of getting mine done a decent one is enough, dont want lousy quality or too good quality.

Anyone know or can recommend a good shop to do spraying for honda city pearl black?
my car got some fairly deep scratches on driver side door, back right door and driver side mirror.
how much roughly will it cost me ?

i dont really want to ask honda SC cause they will surely recommend shops with fairly high price.
mine has only minor scratches with 1 slight deep one (will post photo later cause here very heavy rain)
was hoping someone here could recommend a good paint job shop at a decent price.

thanks bro guess tmr got to go survey around ... dont know which fool scratch my car @_@
anyway how much was your price the last time you did the paint job?

@ericlaiys lol I went to many different paint shop and the cheapest (with quality) is still RM500 respray 2 doors and back part
I also went to the Top speed you mentioned but they quote me RM 750, i drove off lol.


Mixing fuel does not affect much, I did some research of my own using petronas,bhp,shell,caltex,mobil they all average ~ 13km/l (on normal conditions with slight jam) and around 11-12km/l when in bad jams like at kesas and ldp in the morning / evening. I also get the same km/l mixing fuel of different brands
Sometimes i get as low as 9km/l but thats because I put the pedal to the metal
(all this is without pressing the Eco button)

P.S roughly how much mileage do you all get total on a full tank ? (40 liters) (want to do some comparison ~)

NO never !!

I persisted and wait until my car arrived at the showroom and i got the details only I pay downpayment

that would void the delicate warranty that we all care so dearly. honestly I am also disappointed with the audio system too. sadly no $$ching $$ ching$$ to do anything about it. my priority now is to get a good sound proofing for the roof
(damn honestly sounds like milo tin !!)

Actually what I hear and accumulate from experts + car professionals is;
- don't accelerate fast/high or pass 100km/h until your first service (1000km)

after that you can drive as you like. In my case I did not exceed more than 80km/h (sometimes people show finger at me cause drive slow lol) until my 100km service then everything stable from SC only i drive as i like.

I dig that number plate dude good choice

thanks for the info ... this means honda original tint sucks. I think i need to find another better quality tint and darker also ~
(oh my cash going left and right )

Anyone has recommendation of a decent good quality tint like 3m ? and must be darker like just pass jpj only

Thx bro will check it out tonight

what about mileage wise guys ? full tank roughly how far can you go ?

mine average at around 410 km only
