That’s weird. Even CR-V Gen 2 2004 has factory installed reverse sensor. Either your reverse sensor is faulty and needs to be replace. Or you’re looking for reverse camera in the form of stand alone configuration or integrated with your headunit in which for some requires an android player.

Asking on behalf of my sister's CRV G5.

Last week her car pedal jerking while moving, then halfway car alarm sounded, finally car stopped and dead. Not able to start at all.

Then car got tolled to SC, SC said they can't find what issue, then ask my sis to get back the car.

After 2 days, car jerking while reversing out from house, then she immediately drive in fearing that it might happens again and It did happens again! tolled back the car to SC again.

Guys, may I have your inputs on what causes the car like that?

necessary to use scan tool connects obd port.
especially look at idle rpm, aircond, volts,

Anyone pick up insider news about new gen and price yet?

I've been waiting for that since June. Last heard from SA, it's likely will be launch in October or November. That is a long wait.

Hopefully price hike is not as massive as we think it would be but the bigger size and weaker ringgit will likely hike that up a lot.

Initial glance on Thailand pricing, it would be automatically assume our base models will likely hit 180K minimum.
However there is still hope, the base price for Thailand in 2017 is already 180K anyway but with 2.4 NA engine. Now all turbo and ehev, still 180K++ and anove. Based on news report, abt 4.4% hike but that is from the NA engine models.

Ours current best models only 171K and already have 1.5 Turbo engine and 4WD. So hopeful the hike would not be as massive as I originally think. I still think the full spec will hit at least 180K and/or above of based on 5% hike of Thailand.

I can only hope our models don't include Panoramic roof (not a fan, increase price, prone to leaking aka maintenance) and Malaysia with its CKD costing might also do much more cost cutting to reduce the price.

However this is also a double edge sword, coz they might just take away, the exceedingly useful driver seat memory, 360 camera (MVCS) and 4 way passenger seat.

Obviously the base 2.0 NA engine is gone forever. Now I can only hope Malaysia can still maintain a FULL spec 2WD option to lower price to below 180K. I'm ok with it coz it have better mileage and most of us are likely City driver.

They might also comes with the 2 eHev options (same for most countries), I found the Thailand non RS 2WD eHev option already full spec with 4WD RS option having a more sporty setting. Can only estimate the non RS option to be at least 190K, should only consider eHEV for its increase non lag torque and quieter drive. For me, no reason to get it for fuel saving.s as it cannot cover the increased sellling price. Lack of spare tyre for eHev is an issue tho for Malaysian road. Kena a few times liao.

Heard could extend into 2024
We may have an e spec which may not have much differ from the tcp u can get now, seeing Thai e spec also very Kosong vs other higher spec. And that is probably the only spec which will below 180k

With current discount + if I wish, would have prefer v spec, which could beyond 185, I can’t justify myself to give extra 30 for those
Already talking to my SA to help get current tcp…

I think the launch should still be this year, just the delivery of vehicle might push to next year. I'm OK with that tho. I've booked Civic ehev at 170k and decide to consider CRV due to higher ground clearance aka fear of flash flood and house flood. So I just need to know if CRV Full Spec or better ehev still within my budget limit. If CRV delay too long, might revert back to Civic ehev but then again, that model also keep delaying due to production given to wrv and City launch.

So while waiting for Civic ehev availability, seriously consider CRV as price already same. With the hike, it is pushing the limit a lot.

However I can't bring myself to consider current 6 to 7 years old CRV with older tech. I'm already paying a premium 170k, I'm not going to take a 7 years old tech. I'm a Civic fan and the new CRV has a Civic interior. Also don't like the current CRV front grill but love the new more masculine grill. Trying to aim for ehev as the torque will make the crv more lively. Based on reviewer, new CRV has more road feel aka handling... Coming from Civic background, that's one of key reason for my new CRV preference.

If I must have a SUV now, actually I may as well takes up 7 years old Mazda CX5. Super comfortable, great exterior look and cheaper now with inclusion of 5 years free maintenance. The only downside is the 2.0 NA engine.

Good for u…
180 is my limit, and I fairly confident they won’t lower with new gen
Too little clarity now so I m assessing my thought
Letting go my civic to top up so the earlier the higher
Not so fancy on new for now…so just see if wan grab what I “need” today, instead of wait… hehehe

Offer by my agent for crv ready stock, 2w 1.5T discount 8k, black edition 10k, is it worth?

Unless you really need a ride within this, I think no need wait. I can wait coz I don't need to car until early next year.

I think the 2WD model might still fall within 180K, hopefully as Honda will likely try to cut cost to vs the luxurious specs of Thailand CRV.

Somehow the longer the wait, the more I think about the budget and whether spending so much money now to buy an ICE or eHev engine worth it or not in long term. Maybe just go buy a City, then budget future for 2nd EV car a few years down the road.

Looking at BYD Atto 3 too.. Tempted too if my intended usage of CRV is not my main multi purpose everywhere and go car. If its my daily klang valley only car, this is now an option. The main competitor of CRV, I think are really the Chinese EVs with their affordable pricing.

Worth it?

Depends how you look at it. U absolutely need the car now, then super worth it. The new CRV styling differs quite a lot with the existing one, more grunt/macho looks with Civic like simplified internal design. If you like that a lot and don't mind the extra 20K (likely including the current discount), then wait, if you like the current looks and don't mind the its a 6 years old pending to be outdated design, actually current CRV is still relevant. So much cheaper than the new one.

As with dino, we both have different priority. I love the new CRV looks and willing to wait coz no need the car now (if priced to high, then give up) and he need the car now and with the much lower pricing making it worth him.

Hahaha yes
I used to get a city when near eol and drove it for next 7 years
It’s history in repeat only…
Feel now it’s a transition between ice/hev to ev
Whatever u consider… be prepare for next shift on next change…
But if u can afford it, make the hop now

All the conventional models have to make the leap soon

Should be able to ask for more discount since its an outgoing model + year end car.

Ya, trying to ask around, this morning found another agent willing to offer 13k. Will go see the guy tomorrow.

The hype is in and with China leading on EV car purchase with cheaper more affordable pricing, it will shift.

But our protectionist gov will wait for National Cars to come up with something thus no affordable EV in near term.

Unless you got 2 cars at home, I would not get an EV as my only car. Long distance charging infrastructure not in place. Also like UK now, it might overburden the electricity grid and now they have problem suppling power to expand the charging points. So many hidden infrastructure problems needs to be solved before EV really become a mass production ride locally.

I'm actually also looking at Atto 3 now but considering long term investment, BYD although super strong now, they are not here locally like Honda and Toyota. Still go thru 3rd party aka Sime Darby.

What attract me is the less maintenance thing (ICE has 2000 parts in engine, EV 20 for example) but I still have doubt on the longevity of BYD and other local Chinese brand vs Honda/Toyota. With high car prices vs our income ratio nowadays, we cannot follow the exact trend of other countries, they can change car on avg, every 5 years. We..mostly 10 to 15 years. So their so-called batteries lasting the lifetime of the car...their expected lifetime can be shorten to less than 10...our 20 kuah.

Just curious, saw many ppl saying can easily install EV charger at car porch

Sorry for asking stupid question:

My house now got one power point at car porch provide by deceloper las time, so can use it for the charger?

Some say can not and must pull new cable (7mm or 10mm) from DB box in store room all the way to car porch.

Other say no need can just use back the normal power point for the EV charger, so maybe need 8 hours to fully charge a car like BYD Atto.

So how does it work actually? Anyone can enlighten? My contractor said the cable provide by developer usually is 4mm la

From my understanding, might be wrong, the normal wall plug can also charge EV but

"A 3-pin domestic socket is not designed for continuous high-power usage, so most manufacturers recommend three-pin EV charging only in emergencies – and it's because of safety reasons." excerpt from RAC UK website.

Meaning it can be used but for safety reason, try not to use that for daily charge.

Our 13a plug using the normal wire can provide max 3Kw, but if go max for this all the time, it might overheat one of these days. Can charge but not recommended for long term due to safety reason.

If you already decided to invest in EV, you may as well consider pulling a thicker cable (have to for consistent higher current) and invest in a 7K-22Kw fast charger. In the market normally the base unit is about 3 to 5K in price. If include installation, should be 4 to 6k. Not sure about the quality...just checking our locally available chargers online when I checking out EV details. So just budget an extra 5 to 6K when you decide to buy an EV.

Thanks, think will not switch to EV since new cable is required for the charger. Not going to hack my house again, as just done with renovation, lol

You can try asking the electrician first. We only assume, they are the one in the know. Can also contact the charger device company ask if really need to pull thicker cable. Maybe no need also can work?

Hi, anyone know how much to install running board for CRV? Any difference btw OEM and those import from Thailand?
