Ohh another thing, I also installed the connex alarm but until now haven't receive the activation code. Anyone here, install connex alarm?

Thanks

not sure which new honda you have but i was driving the 10th gen 1.8 civic and it is with autolock when you move.

Disappointed about that as well, the Gen 4 has it. Sometimes I just don't feel like plugging in my phone for navi.

can share which bank?

this is very much down to individual. you will always get different opinion on this.

for me, i wont do it as the original metalic paint can last long.

I received.. you can call the customer service.. quite fast and efficient

I went with Llumar Crystal 6. Very nice so far.

Btw, I have updated my review with photos of the front/back sensor. I think @voncrane might be interested.

Thanks for the mini-review...

IMO, not worth it as the current paint is pretty durable.. Just wash every week or so and apply wax/polish occasionally. Park wisely too and don't let certain stains to sit on the paint for long. As for swirl marks, have a decent car wash place. I've patronized the same joint for years and pals with the elderly owner, so when the car comes around, extra care and the good stuff is used. How do I know this? Civic 08, only had to be repainted once (all round) for around 2K, paint today still looks like new when clean..No rust.. After a wash? glistens.. I've also got a good car guy who knows how to mix the right blend of metallic paint to match mine for those minor touch-ups.

However, it is not a bad idea to coat the car, for added peace of mind i guess... But here's the question I always ask the coating fellas (don't matter if ceramic or bla bla)..
1. After coating, how much taking care should I still do? Ans: They reply same as above.
2. After coating, am I 100% protected against stone/rock chips, swirl marks, rust, keying and scratches? They reply nope, not 100%..

See, Some scratches can be buffed right out if they don't penetrate all the way through the clear coat. So if I'm going to keep doing all the above (care, etc) that I currently do? Why would i fork out at least 4K for a good coat all around the car. When I can keep that cash and repaint the whole car in say 5 years. Also, if you get into an accident and parts replaced, you'd have to re-coat again.. Oh yeah, between proper wax and Rain-X application on all windows, I get the exact or nearly identical hydrophobic effect all over the car as most coatings do too..

Now paint protection films or wraps are a different story. I'm completely not into wraps.. but still on the fence towards PPF. I'm definitely going to put on security tint on all windows, cuz while I may be able to react coolly in an incident, the missus will probably freeze up and so some smash protection is required.. My 2 cents.

Wow, 1st time I've heard that someone isn't interested in using the superior GPS navigation built into the phone... Good on you.

Going to check this out next..

thanks bro.....since diamond 6 is more exp, i probably wil explore crystal 6 too.

Crystal 6 - works with Smart Tag, so that's very important to me.

Hi.

You're right. Still have to di the basic cleaning athough did the coating.
Btw, the detailer told me that there're some paint defects on the new crb

Hong Leong Bank..

Just realized you shared after I asked. Thanks!

Anyone know what is the purpose these two gold pins on the brakes are? And it's so fragile. I'd imagine some vandals will just break it off. They seemed to be only seen on the two rear wheels. The front wheels do not have these.

Read the updated review... Nice.

You are welcome... Paint defects from the factory??


Oh yeah, for those who are waiting for Waze on Apple CarPlay, you would have to wait longer than anticipated and quite possibly indefinite. As Apple at the moment has blatantly refused for third-party maps to co-exist with their Maps app. No official Waze support until Apple specifically allows access to their APIs.

I hope they will get sued for billions again by European court for anti-monopoly. Anyway, I think the safer bet is to wait for Android Auto to launch here first?

Diamond 6 package will be working with smart tag as well but more exp. the price diff is at rm700.

minf to share how much you pay for ur tint?

thinking 2.0 with 17 inch tires will be cheaper but the tyre is not the usual size like xtrail and previous gen of crv. so, seems the price on par with 18" also.
