hi,
check any 1.8s owner upgrade their fabric seats to leather?
can get honda do that or have to it elsewhere?
will the side airbag affected?
thanks
*
Got my 1.8 changed to fully leathered. SA sent to do it for me before I collect the car. but it's not done in house, it's somewhere else. Should be no problem with airbags.

Make sure you get those with no holes on it, else lots of dust. Also, less design on the stitching​/finishing means easier to wipe too.

Will it impede the side air bag?

Still have the SRS Airbag label on both of the front seats. Should be functional.

How much is it?

The SA in Honda say they do the exact same design as 1.5tc, then give you back the seat fabric  sweat.gif  give me also don't know for what.
Rm2500. This covers the 4 doors (sections that was originally fabric), back seats, front seats, arm rests. Essentially no more fabrics below the ceiling. Didn't bother to ask for the original fabrics also lol

hi bro,
thanks for the info.
mind share some photo?
what color can choose?
where is ur honda SA showroom?
*
Attached photos of front and back seats. Not too sure how durable these are yet though.

There's a lot of colour to choose from, but I chose black because I felt it is harder to spot dirt on the black. If I chose a light colour it would be easy to spot dirt and smears, then I need to kuat kilat the leather very often.

Also, opt for leather that is not perforated (those with lots of small holes ones). Those will trap dirt, and when you wipe with leather conditioner, you might end up with the conditioner inside the hole if you're not careful and the holes become whitish.

One thing I regret is to put the design strip in the middle of the front seats. It is purely cosmetic and also means more troublesome to wipe and it looks like will traps dirt in between the stitches over time.

My Honda SA showroom is PJ seksyen 13. There's a SA there which has a 1.8 with leather seats. So you can ask the SA to show you.

Guys,  how much you insure for the windscreen ?
Trying to add on it, but not sure what amount
Inclusive of tint?
*
Mine under TMIM, include windscreen is additional rm300. (SA says it actually covers all the windows, front, sides and back). Don't think it covers cost to re-tint, not sure.

Have you downloaded the Android Auto APK file and install it? After that it should work.

Haiz today my turn kena. Windscreen crack about 10cm long and didn't buy windscreen insurance. Just drive past lorry on highway & kena small stone..Not very loud but crack. Very fragile .. Should get insurance.

Anyway can this be repaired? If not how much to replace? If I leave it, can the crack become longer? Appreciate some advise. Thanks in advance
*
I also Kena one stone while on the highway. It was so loud I thought crack big time. Luckily just two dents of white dots and the passenger side.

Funny thing is, I was driving in the middle of highway with no cars or trucks around me at that time. It's either some bird drop stone, or some kids at road side throwing stones at me. What luck...

Buy those rubber sound proofing seal from garage sales, those come with 3M adhesive tape and DIY. Cost around 100bux with all 4 doors and bonnet+boot. I can say the effect is quite significant.

Like this one? Looks like different parts of car need different type of rubber.

sigh... i just faced a problem with my 1.8. cant start when press push start button. tak tak tak sound. now waiting to tow to SC.

Anyone else faced this problem before?
*
I got another similar problem, but don't think is battery weak. I pressed the break pedal and want to start the engine. But instead of starting, it's cycling through the accessories and on state without starting. Had to release and press the break pedal again before it can start. Weird.

Me too, awaiting for the arrival of my 1.8. Can someone suggest me where can I get nice quality full leather seat with reasonable price ? It would be great if you can share some pics too. Thanks
*
My SA took my 1.8 to put leather seats before I collect the car. Basically all fabric parts change to leather (except the roof). Price is rm2500 with 3 years warranty. The shop is at PJ SS2.

Hi guys..
Is it ok to just un-connect the battery as i'm leaving car for 1 week?
*
My SA warned me before that we cannot simply disconnect the battery. If you do that it will mess with something, maybe it's the computer stuff will reset. Even when changing a weak battery got special way to change. Anyone can verify this?
