It allows you to use the touch screen without looking at the phone

Which means you can control your Music and use Waze from your HU.
It also works without bypass

Step 1: Download App Radio from Appstore
https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/appradio/id434811742?mt=8

Step 2 Download Waze from AppStore
https://itunes.apple.com/my/app/waze-social...d323229106?mt=8

Get the Digital AV Adapter cable, HDMI cable and connect the necessary wires to your car HU

Step 3 Pair your phone bluetooth with your car HU

Step 4 Plug in your phone to the Digital AV cable and the HDMI is connected to your car HU. At the menu, you will notice that there will be an arrow pointing to the right

Step 5 Open App Radio app

Step 6 Click on the right arrow on your HU. You will be presented with the word "connecting..."

Step 7 After few seconds, you will notice the Pioneer App Radio launcher is launched. Swipe right and you will see your Waze icon

Step 8. Click on Waze and it will switch to Waze app. First time connecting waze will prompt you a dialog asking you do you want external device control waze. Click Yes

Step 9. Waze will work and you can use the touch screen to play it.

Step 10: The moment you click the home button on your HU, it will disconnects the screen. You need to open back Waze from your phone.

***********************JAILBREAK SECTION************************************

With jailbreak, you can do more where the HOME BUTTON WILL WORK flawlessly.

The behavior will be as following

1) Plugged in the HDMI cable, it will auto connect to your car HU via bluetooth and AppRadio launcher will launch
2) Clicking the home button will open AppRadio launcher

What is needed?

1) Jailbreak iPhone
2) Honda App Launcher ( you need US Itunes account)

speedlock RM90 only, pure plug and play. to me it's very cheap as can install yourself and no wiring modification.

I didn't snap much photo for the DIY. So, I simply draft out the DIY idea here.. 

First thing, buy a plug and play illuminated side step. Which I get from Sato auto acc m sdn bhd on Mudah



RM160 + RM20 postage to my place.

The side steps comes with the complete wiring and socket for our ride. Which means you no need to cut any wire. No warranty issue on this DIY. Just plug and play.

On the wiring of the side step, I tap on 2 extra bulb for the foot light (red/black wire). See the photo below.



Bought the T5 socket for the foot light bulb on eBay. Which cost me around RM5 for each of it.
Then buy a wire holder from electric shop. Tied the bulb on it and put 3M double side tape behind. And ready to put below the dashboard. Oh ya, the T5 blue LED from eBay as well.



After the wiring work is done. Its time to open interior cover part by part to route the wire. Those steps I follow some tutorial on youtube. Important reminder. Be extremely careful to the handling of the retaining tabs and clips particularly.



Very simple right? hope you guys can DIY yourself a set like mine.

Make you check your radiator water level also like how you check your tyre pressure...

Never use tap water, mineral water, filter water, etc...

Tap water is full of calcium, magnesium and other deposits which will form scaling (like in a boiler) and reduce the heat reduction efficiency of the radiator, clogging it with deposits.

Always use Honda Coolant Type 2 which is premixed and ready to pour into your radiator... Get a bottle from Hingan for rm20+... SC won't top up with the coolant but with tap water... Your City came out from factory with this Type 2 coolant inside...

rm8+- per piece in sc, but there's a risk of being stolen again

i got mine from this seller on lelong.
option 3, rm80 before ship. mine is authentic from ezcast as it can connect to the ezcast app. fake cannot connect up.
http://www.lelong.com.my/ezcast-m2-mirascr...7-01-Sale-I.htm

and the hdmi bypass cable i got from a seller on forum.
it's mentioned in the 1st page.

H11 for both

Let me help you guys know more about cars and engine oil. The reason why SC insisted on not changing the oil is because there's a reason to it. All new Honda cars are filled with a special type of engine oil from the factory. Its different from those sold in the market or SC. This type of oil are meant for new engines that requires breaking in thus the composition of chemicals, addictives etc are different.

If you guys google more, u will notice Honda USA have explanation on the 1,000km doesn't require an oil change.

I hope i gave some useful info for you guys.

To make it easier to understand, CVT varies between a set of ratios (Let's say 3.5 to 0.7), while for 5AT each gear has its own ratio.

D mode = All ratios is being used for maximum efficiency (For AT, which means all 5 gears can be engaged, and CVT can vary into all the given ratio)

S mode = O/D Off, for Honda 5AT you are left with 1,2,3 only since 4 and 5 are OD gear. The same goes to CVT (which means the ratio range is now reduced to 3.5 to 1.0) hence dubbed as sport mode since with shorter ratio your rpm stays higher, and shorter ratio (lower gear) means more responsive throttle, and also better traction. It is like how you would go to lower gear on slope/going down hill/taking a corner.

L mode = Only the initial ratio (means only first gear for AT, first ratio range for CVT) used only for heavy towing or you are really going down a super slope

Yes, if you going up genting and you want easier time, put it to S mode. And going down hill the same also, you will want to use the lower gear ratio range in S mode.

I dunno what car you drive before but to sum it up.

D mode = D mode just like any car

S mode = O/D off in most general automatic car, or some car marked as D3 (As I have seen in Kelisa), cause their D is D4.

L mode = Same like normal L mode



Maintaining CVT and its performance, install a CVTF cooler (normally referred as ATF cooler, but since this is not an AT, I call it CVTF cooler), it works the same just to cool down your transmission fluid.

And for Honda, use the premium CVTF from Japan instead of normal grade CVTF from Singapore. The premium is called HMMF (Honda Multi Matic Fluid) that comes in 4 litre can and cost 2x of normal CVTF. Many claims they are the same, but I tell you no, it is far different. I have used the HMMF for the my home old City, the ATF-DW1 Ultra for my sister's City, and also the MTF-3 Ultra for my bro's FD2R. All Japan version have superior response, especially in the CVT and AT, since for MT the gear change smoothness depends on your clutch control.

Note: The new City CVT is paired with Torque Converter, therefore I am not sure whether HMMF or the HCF-2 should be used as I do not own the new City. Kindly refer to your manual book.

Philips 5000K is DiamondVision, blue-ish white, totally no yellow already
4300K is Philips CrystalVision, white with JUST A BIT yellow
Osram Nightbreaker Unlimited is 3900K, yellow with a bit of white



IMHO don't touch the high beam

Using CrystalVision and so far happy with it

On a clear night, CrystalVision totally drowns the light from my fog lights
