Honda purposely did this for reliability, i believe people who have already installed hondata might got rid of this. (jason pro youtube video said so)

Well u need to make your car as 100% highway drive only and no tailgate , green indicator all the way only, change your dash display as fuel consumption monitor and drive at 20km/liter or more.

For those who travel during this festive seasons, drive safe and use android auto/apple car play. Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!!!

Well at least we are better than the US counter part dealership. Their newly release Type-R price has been mark up significantly goes as high as 10kUSD more than retail price(source: from youtube review comments, articles and fb click bait news). First time i heard a car that gains value even after purchasing. Demand is so high... I was wondering how many of us going is to buy type-R if it landed in here.

In brochures, the century sprint of respectively 7.7sec (DCT) vs 8.2sec (civic). 201hp(265) vs 173hp(220nm torque). For that results i would say civic CVT isn't sloppy at all in real life. In terms of reliability of hyundai DCT, no comment, however there's a real life example hyundai veloster turbo(also available in malaysia) has been using it, don't seems to have problem at all.

Not visible la, especially TCP LED headlamp, you don't say no body will notice. Mine TCP headlamp also got scar, no one notice it.

Yes boss. I'll go check it out.

It isn't straight forward... need special cable usb A to A, and u android sdk! damn, meaning i have to become a mobile developer to hack this...

Maybe i should sneak into one of the showroom car and hack it, no need to risk my own car

Actually by reading the instruction it isn't straight forward, unless u know what they are exploiting. If i were to root it using the provided github there's no way to un-root it. So if SC is smart or tech savvy (unlikely at all) they can find it. Of coz first thing u avoid is to install the app on the middle screen, that little app icon will give it off immediately. Then there's so many shell script to run, and in the instruction didn't even mention what to do with the whitelist.xml, which i presume i need to modify it.

edit: Just realize our HU runs on android 4.2.2 so old... finding apk to support such old android and working might be a problem, not to mentioned we need to hotspot our phone to enable internet for the HU to wifi connection.

At the end of the day, imho by-pass cable + mirror-link combo is more elegant hacking HU to install old custom app.

Curious case, what if my bodykit is genuine OEM Honda Thailand would they still treat it as third party? Something to think about

In-fact i do have warranty item to claim that i have yet to file, my passenger seat cushion has hollow area (no sponge). I did got away with race-chip during service tho. The chip is housing near battery area where there's an perfect compartment to house the chip but it is clearly visible because the chip has orange stripes.
And the SA didn't notice my Thai bumper as well...

Going to be first again.... just u wait.. hahaha

Actually i shouldn't bother to put race-chip, stock is the best (i drive like uncle). Best modification is no modification, only some personalize touch to the car aesthetic.

Si trim is usually USDM, at most Canada will have it but not for asia market. Even the Japanese doesn't have this trim.

It's totally different, and the biggest change is the transmission being a manual and si has limited slip differential. In short it is just different, well the only thing u can mod it is the front and rear bumper to look alike, and these 2 items estimated costs around 4.2k MYR+- without paint.

Some might saw this body kit in FB, here's my take on it:

Yes, haha who else has this color if not me

Oh u noticed, but it wasn't my number plate. Mine was fully intact, that number plate belongs to a rich man who drives Panamera.

Gloss finishes won't be as nice as good old paint job. I did mine at Getto in Kota Damansara, more expensive than others, it's a professional service.
