I bet the squeaking noise has something to do with your c pillar bar.
*
c pillar bar insalled few months after installing eibach springs. and the squeaking noise comes after few weeks of installing eibach springs and noise is from front passenger dashboard area.

noise only comes and go when going through uneven road. not even sure its from the dashboard. rclxub.gif

City got paddle shifter, rear aircond, one extra 12V outlet and extra door speakers(not sure about this one).
If house/work/gai gai parking space is not an issue or your family fleet got no sedan, get sedan.
Fuel economy probably +/- 0.5 km/l, which is peanuts since hybrid hitting 20km/l ~ 24km/l.
0 to 100 also should be about +/- 0.5 seconds which is negligible.

If you haven't test drive hybrid yet, do this, see whether you can tahan or not, or else after you buy then regret.

Find one long stretch, 1 street length will do.
Press 'S' mode.
Then drive like in traffic jam.
Press pedal slowly to accelerate to 15~25 km/h then release pedal to coast abit, then after 2-3 seconds or until 5 km/h, (make sure the car is still rolling)
press pedal slowly to accelerate to 15~25km/h then release pedal and coast, then repeat repeat repeat.
If you can feel the jerk, see you can tahan or not.

Offtopic:
Weird thing is, I tried recording on dashcam 3M tape windscreen, but the car is STEADY. Only driver + passengers can feel the jerk.
Will try recording more to get more samples...

When low speed and if engine is ON, transmission will jerk if you accelerate just when car is changing gears at just below ~15km/h.
Real world case; usually only happens when hybrid battery run out and engine forced on to charge battery. (takes about 2 minutes until able to return EV mode or ~1 minute if ECON with moving traffic without stopping [edit])
You probably won't use S mode during jam... no point to be in this mode unless you want to hear engine PRRRRRRT sound (which is cool, once in a while).


I mention S mode b/c that's the fastest way to simulate it during test drive.
If you want actual condition, you full blast A/C then wait until hybrid battery go 2 bar, then start drive like in traffic jam. (Don't need to be in S mode if you do this)

OK, then RM1k is a bit more palatable.

But, lowering spring is not my thing. If someone is after looks. Then, by all means.

Else, Eibach or Tein. It is the same thing. Once you lower it, it messes something up in one way or another. Furthermore, progressive springs and shortened damper travel is just not my cup of tea.

Not that my adjustables are any better. But, just saying. If you want comfort, just stick with stock.
*
Mostly owners after changed to aftermarket sport spring (especially eibach) they said improve in terms of comfort (as you know stock spring kinda bumpy) and also improve the stability on high speed. Stock spring actually kinda floaty la if high speed. Its stable but floaty.

Depends if you want a sedan or a hatch. the city hybrid has more features compared to jazz hybrid like rear aircon + 12v chargers and foldable mirror

I just owned Jazz e specs.
Found out the HU/radio is so so only.
I want to change the HU from outside shop. It is plug and play unit.
By right it won't void the warranty but just to make sure:
Will it void the warranty? as I did it from outside shop.

Thanks

1) Last night i was in USJ area, the water level is quite high due to the rain, because i was moving forward against the water, now my number plate curved inwards at the middle part there.... is it ok to change a new one just for the front part? Any knows the price? Or change at outside better?

2) After i reach home, i put my gear to P, and i noticed that my engine sounds is louder than usual, could it be that the water has gone into my engine?
*
1) damn very risky. next time if it is raining very hard. i will remind myself not to drive but to wait lor. I did last time outside, around rm70. depends la, some can quote very cheap, some can be fancy with carbon fibre vinyl

2) oh btw this car engine is quite noticeable right. can hear it purrrrrrrrrrrrrr very hard when starting the engine hahaa. idk bout others

does anyone notice that the sound system (speakers's volume) sometimes can be high and all of sudden a bit low, and then after awhile it become high and normal although the volume is set at 16 (for example)

Anyone had this experience ?

That's SVC or some speed dependant volume control or something like that. Turn it off if it bothers you.

In dash GPS is usually very expensive and the problem of updated maps exists. Having android auto or car play support is the better way to go.

Having GPS alone is never as good as having traffic information at hand as well with the likes of google maps and waze.

Something worth thinking about as the headunit does not have data capabilities. Only basic offline maps which might become outdated after a while.

so..I should only change the HU with apple car play capablity?

Yes, you're right, the built -in GPS is sometimes not updated.

For number plates, you don't need to change front and back in a pair. Unless you are very particular that both lettering must be the exact same one. Else, you can do only just one, depending on which one cracked. You can even just stick back a single letter if it fell off.

I'd say no more than RM30 depending on the size of the plate for JPJ compliant (cheap) ones. If you want some with fancy lettering, reflective lettering, semi transparent lettering, custom plate material (not the standard black ones) which btw are "considered" illegal in JPJ's view. Those would cost a bit more than normal ones. Up in the hundreds is not abnormal for those really fancy ones.
The problem is the entire system, not the HU alone. Once you change the HU, you will realize the speakers are rubbish as well.

No HU is plug and play as it is meant to fit universally on all cars meaning it is a wired in connection. If they were to make specific models for specific cars. Their inventory would be same as the wiring harness are not standardized on all car.

As long as the shop does not cut your original wiring harness to wire-in to the HU, it should be safe.

Most of them in fact will try to sell you this standardized adapters specific for your car which plugs into the original harness on one end and does not terminate with any connectors on the other so it can be wired into the HU without meddling around with factory wire harness.

If anything were to happen with electrical, at least you can put the original head unit back in and no one will know the better.

Even the speakers have specific harness adapters which you can find on taobao.

If the engine has too much water going in, it would have killed itself as water is non compressible and if it enters the combustion chamber, it would cause damage beyond operation.

Also, unless you have drove through a flood. Unlikely the water can do much damage as the bottom end of the engine is usually quite water tight.
No need to buy a number plate from Honda. They don't make number plates. Even if they do for you, they get it from outside of their service centers.

The engine is a pretty hot place, any waters that can go into the engine would either cause damage almost immediately or would have evaporated quite rapidly.

It might be in your mind after all if you ask me.

SO... I can change the HU provided that the installer doesn't cut the cables. Leave the original cable and if something happens, I just switch back to the original HU.


BTW, anyone here has changed the HU?

Thanks

No idea , how it got charged fully anyway. This was after batu tiga toll. Also i noticed something odd went today. I noticed a sudden bad jerk on stop and go traffic. Never experienced that kind of jerk and realized the battery went to 1 bar and then the engine was working hard to get the battery back to 4 bars. Not sure what caused my car to go to 1 bar Attached Image

BTW you should join our Honda hybrid group via WhatsApp - Will DM you the link !

Usually they won't quote a pair as it is not necessary to change both and there is no standardized pricing. It all depends on the size, the thickness of the plate they use, the letters to determine the price. RM50 to RM60 is right about where you would expect to pay for a front and back plate replacement especially our rear end plate is quite big if you need to make a plate to fill up the whole area instead of those standard rectangular ones.
That is totally up to you. I believe there are some units out there that might fit your requirements.

This supports apple car play and android auto both, in case you switch mobile platforms to android. But, it does however not play CD's i think.

In theory, that will be the case. At least if anything goes wrong electrically related. You can just swap the original HU back in (assuming you don't sell it) without anyone knowing. If you do not install other components. Usually the HU and speakers is where wires might be cut into in order for the installation as the plug on the wiring harness is specific to Honda and the speakers also uses somewhat of a proprietary connector.

I have swapped my stock HU to a pioneer double DIN unit. But mine was not the 3rd generation Jazz.

Thanks for the reply.

So your jazz still have the 5 years warranty.
What I'm afraid is my car is less than 2 weeks old and the 5 years warranty already void

BTW, anybody know honda panel shops? I've asked my SA but he also don't know. I think I want to change the HU at the panel shops.

Thanks
