ReallY? That's interesting. I guess the alarm also does not deter the thief.

Thank you for your explanation. But why such an odd placement and not covered. Someone who's tangan gatal can just break the pins easily. Not very vandal proof.

I didn't feel the engine was too loud, to be honest. But yet, I can hear a very slight winding down, whooshing pitch as I slow down. It sounds like a plane engine winding down. Not bothering though. I think it's my ears being sensitive, but yet not sensitive enough to feel the engine is loud.

I like it. At least I like it better than previous gen.

I feel Gen 4 CRV front is nicer than Gen 5. It's contour is a smile shape while the Gen 5 contour is a fierce lion shape.

But Gen 5 rear is nicer than Gen 4.

So coincidence to see the same CRV in the same road of my house just now.. same Vxx number plate too.

mine came with the car, don't know if it is included by default (I would think so) or if my SA showed me kindness.

I'm pretty uneducated regarding this coil mat thing. Wouldn't it collect more dust and dirt since it is probably very difficult to beat them out or vacuum them out?

yeah, especially if it is a family car and the kids will eat in the car or something. You can't see the food crumbs but it still rots inside the coil mat. Ewwww...

Trapo looked good. Thanks for the recommendation. Do you guys use this to replace what was given by Honda default or put on top? Kinda weird to put on top.. But if replace, might as well wait till that factory one wear off?

coincidence - Trapo will have roadshow in One Utama New Wing next week starting 9 Aug-13 Aug.
What a great timing!

Thanks for your response. I wouldn't think it would work well if placed above the stock mat. Anyway, they have roadshow. Will take a look next week

I googled this one and it was in India website. Not sure if same model available in Malaysia. It does look really good though.

actually, just to give you a perspective.. even if you get 2.45%, the difference is just RM300/400 over 9 years.
So unless you can get 2% (which is unlikely), whatever 0.0x% does not make any differences.

Anyone know if it's possible to upload our own photos as wallpaper in the Infotainment System?

Looks like have to read the manual .. lazy also, lol

yeah, if you look at my blog which I showed a photo of the dashboard showing the front sensor alert, the dashboard a outline of a car with alerts already.. depicting the 4 sensors that is actively detecting. And as @Neo_Y photo of the front vehicle show, the two sensors facing front is already below the number plate. How low do you want it to be, unless you are really looking for a front camera then.

From the image below, the 2nd sensor from the left is red - it is because of a jutting "branch" from my flower pot. The flower pot itself is detected by the 3rd sensor in yellow, still quite a distance, but the branch is near the car. If that is not "low" enough, I am really not sure what you are expecting.

btw, any owner put on an amplifier in the new CRV? I dismantled my Alpine from the old car, but not sure if I want to put in the CRV just yet. I don't think it will benefit unless I also get a bass speaker..

No offense but does such SUV you have in mind exists? At the same price point? Coz you said it's a make or break but it could also mean you might not be driving an SUV after all.
