Good find on the model number.
FCC doc shows they have an AUX out. Really, Honda...? <RM2 connector+wire routing cannot provide?
FCC (2016) doc shows they using a NF2301 bluetooth+DSP.

nFore website Company History:
In April of 2008, nFore designed its third Bluetooth module NF2301/NF2303: Bluetooth 2.1. In the same year Visteon North America adopted the designs of Tiger and Mode platform series.

That's right, designed in 2008. 10 year old Bluetooth + DSP technology. Even Axia has Bass, Mid, Treble adjustment.
This is cost cutting to ridiculous levels. *sigh*

Yup, with Jazz hybrid (same enginer + transmission), easily 24km/l. Just release pedal when detect going to slow down, brake gently and accelerate smoothly. Ez. The fuel consumption meter is off by extra 5% (source)
This is 80km/h highway speed though. 110km/h will suffer.

It shows average only.
Their "Current" fuel consumption is only displayed in bars....... in another menu...
|0|====---|15|------|30|------|60|

Hybrid special feature, crawling in traffic = AVG fuel consumption increase rather than decrease until the battery runs out

Yes 24km/l meter reading, Average. I set to reset when power off.
So, power on -> Drive -> Check Avg -> power off.

Jazz Hyb. user manual doesn't mention anything about HU. Not even a picture.

Resistive touchscreen , remove plastic no help at all... and speaker is stock, he just got his car few days ago.

Can you list down your device chain on how to get it like your video please ?
ie. Phone -> Cable/Wireless -> Device #1 -> Cable/Wireless -> HU ?

[edit] Sorry, was dumb, didn't read description at youtube. Just pushed play.
Here's the excerpt.

Any jerking when engine charging battery + stop & go traffic ?

Nah, that's just driving style. Eco remaps throttle input, so need to re-adapt to new mapping, or just turn it off.
I'm running Jazz hybrid on normal mode with trip average: 28km/l free flow 85%/15% highway/city. Return trip 25km/l, 20 minutes jam of total 60 minutes travel time.
If running sports mode vroom vroom under 100km/h, 28km/l -> 20km/l I dare not imagine jam + sports mode + jerking tranny.

Edited last post for clarity, running jazz hybrid, same powertrain + weight. Figures in last post are trip average.
Now trying to tune HU sound system, too much idling... very close to 6 hours total idling time... Avg since 0000000 km ~18km/l.

Have to apologise to those driving behind you though. City driving, after speed bumps... even the old aunty in the Saga on the left lane overtake
Highway either use battery or if in engine mode get to 75-80km/h (for safety).
While coasting in engine mode, maintain throttle at 20-30% just right before the icon stops showing the green battery charging indicator to top up battery.
While coasting in straight highway, you can apply 3-7% throttle to lessen the regen coast effect while still charging the battery (1 bar Charge though)
If the area usually jam, ~1 km before enter that area, force into engine mode (tap throttle +20%) and revert throttle to 20-30% to force charge battery. Best to enter jam with 4 bar of battery then at least can enjoy aircond abit.
If enter jam with 3 bar, turn off A/C or suffer the jerking You had a Fiesta right, teach us how to avoid the jerking. My Vento DSG colleague advised me to let car roll then only press pedal to prevent transmission jerk, but I didn't get a chance to test yet...
Also, tail the car in front with 2-3 second rule, the regen coasting is usually enough to avoid minor braking at 20-40 km/h speeds.
Approaching smart tag, find a distance to safely start braking to almost max out the Charge bar, before the brakes bite.

I swear I bought this car to save fuel and enjoy; not stress over how to drive until like this... Wrong choice it seems...

Hybrid,
So I was driving into residential area in fully EV mode. Parked the car. Then felt the bonnet. It was SAME AS OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE.

I thought engine needs to be hot for the oil to flow around to lubricate the parts ? If driving on EV and engine at outside air temperature (bonnet), if suddenly race the engine, potential premature damage ???

Edit: 20170831, It's warm all right. Bonnet is good.

Next time I try that... spray abit water first before touch...

Sound advice.

It's full hybrid, but engine WILL kick in > 90km/h (probably cause 172V battery+motor combo can't go higher).
There are also other conditions that will force engine mode.
Shameless plug here.
Last graph is wrong, there's only 2 speeds for EV.
1. <15km/h @ <30A (2 bars blue Power bar, 3rd bar = engine turns on)
2. >15km/h @ (<45A if 3 bar battery OR <55A if 4 bar battery) (2 bars blue Power bar also, but can step pedal slightly harder, 3rd bar = engine wake up)
You can also feel the very very minor gearshift when switching between 15km/h. (cause EV no engine vibration)

[Edit: Added 'power' bar for reference]

Aiyooo, do it with 5 bar battery
Battery assist cannot fully pump juice to motor if low on power. It will protect itself.
Think of it like water tank.
When full, you open tap fully = water gush out high pressure.
When going to empty, you open tap fully = water pressure not as strong as full tank.

It literally says Key Battery Low... It even has smartphone battery icon so people won't get confused.
Please dig out manual to see how to change batteries on your keyfob.

Yes, engine will force start and charge if it falls below 3 bars. ~25% according to here
This is so that it can provide power to the inverter AC compressor and other engine stuff.

During driving it will also charge if you are coasting and are at certain throttle positions.
Throttle on 0-5% and on EV mode. It will Regen while coasting to imitate engine braking. But if you maintain at ~5%, the car will GLIDE. There's no engine braking feeling at ~5%. It literally GLIDES. It's a super awesome experience gliding around corners without losing speed in silence.
Throttle <30%, if you force engine on (tap throttle input +20%) then maintain throttle between ~15-30%, car will coast/maintain speed while charging battery.
Throttle ~50~xx%, not sure on upper range, don't usually maintain at this position but indicator sometimes show charging eventhough got enough battery / 3-4 bars.

It sounds loud because maybe you forgotten how an engine sounds like after driving EV ?
Open your window abit to compare with other car outside.
Our ears always adapt to surroundings.
If you play a tone at a fixed volume, then expose a person to loud music for a few minutes, then listen to the same tone at the same fixed volume, the tone will sound soft.
If the person is in a quiet environment for a long time, then suddenly play the tone at same fixed volume, the tone will sound loud.

I posted about the jerking thing here.

It's "normal".

On the other hand, every time you fill up gas on the hybrid, you save about 50~70% (RM30~40) in petrol if compared to the non-hybrid models.

If city area and not serious puncture, don't remove the debris, then use the air compressor to inflate the tyre to test whether can maintain tyre pressure or not (got meter on compressor),
if very slowly losing air then you still can go to nearest tyre shop to get it patched. You can save that RM180 and just rely on the air compressor this way.
Not all cases have to use the RM180 but you are still forced to go to tyre shop.
Well, if your emergency leave costs >RM180 then welp.
