Mine pre facelift infotainment and meter auto dim. I think 3 levels (bright day time, slightly dark under flyover etc, and totally dark at night)

No issue if he is the one driving. can just adjust the driver seat higher. Plenty of headroom to sit higher.

120kph about 2k rpm. If constant 110kph, rpm 1.8k

How come the battery quoted by Honda so cheap? RM215?

I changed mine Panasonic from Honda SC Jul last year for RM 280. Mine TC 2016, 1st battery lasted 1Y3Mths, 2nd battery 1Y9Mths. So yours is normal.

I think Panasonic not very lasting. Many recommend Amaron(15mths warranty). Change outside about RM 220-230 for normal NS60 and about RM 260 for Hi-Life grade.

I will try Amaron next.....my other cars i get from Vinbattery. So far very good service & reasonable price. come to your house to install. U can watsapp them.

Yes. usually they take back your old battery.

You can whatsapp them for the price. usually RM 10-20 cheaper than their quoted price in website.

Ya i also think that the new 16" looks better than the old 1. but 16" on C segment Civic look a bit small with thick tyres. 17" just nice.

Remote start with aircond on will not really charge your battery. If idle, make sure aircond and radio etc is off but the charging still slow with rpm below 1k. Best is to rev above 2k rpm for faster charge. Leaving your car not moving for long period also not a good idea. During MCO. i drive out my car once a week. Just put to S mode for higher rev and drive around for 25-30mins.. even tekan until 5k rpm to charge the battery fast

Google online....
"How long should I idle my car to charge the battery?
Idling a car for 5-10 minutes will not recharge a battery. It MIGHT replace a bit of the charge lost to starting it in the first place, but even that is iffy. The alternator in your car will need to hit, roughly, 2000 engine rpm to push a charge back to the battery."

"Does revving engine charge battery faster?
The battery will charge faster if you rev the engine faster. Why? Because the faster the crankshaft turns, the faster it turns the belt that runs the alternator. And the faster the alternator turns, the more electricity it produces to run all the electrical stuff in the car — and recharge the battery."

Yeah.. i install my rubber seal as well when i got my car in 2016. Wondering why Honda don't put this door rubber seal in civic. I checked other Honda models, City, jazz, crv all come with it. ..

Yes for comfort & quiet Primacy 4 a good choice. Can also consider Bridgestone Turanza T005A / Yokohama Advan DB.

Avoid CC5 la. this is entry level tyre from Conti. Performance is out.

Im using MC6 now. MC5 often slip on wet when accelerate hard. MC6 never slip & has a lot more grip , more comfort but just slightly quieter only than MC5. Not a quiet tire. My priority is safety, so i'll always got for UHP tyres & i dont expect UHP tyres to be very quiet. So far satisfied with MC6. If have higher budget can just go for Michelin PS4.

If want a comfort & quiet tyre, usually need to sacrifice on performance & less grip.

Once installed, is this significant reduce wind noise ??
Perhaps for those who interested can buy together.. hahaha, cheaper a bit

Cant really feel reduce wind noise on B pillar.. cos i noticed my civic wind noise mainly from A pillar side mirror there. No wind noise from B pillar.

Do you check whether water sip into your trunk when heavy rain? see whether the trunk floor/spare tyre area wet.

Mine also 2016 model.. bcos of the rubber seal, some water sip into my trunk area when heavy rain. I pull and re-adjust the rubber seal. now ok.

You have to check where the water leak into your trunk. Mine is from left top.

I pull out that portion , clean and install back.. and added another rubber shown in the pic

Lazy go SC complain. minor minor problems like this & rattling sound I always diy & solve

But to me i like to use this feature. really useful quickly changing the vol. use it very often.

So far my Civic TC 3.5 years+ never once accidentally slip the vol and blast the sound

Not sure what is that. my side cover slightly diff design. No block like yours.

Mine RM 35 + delivery 12 = 47 total. ya install myself.. easy installation.

Anyhow no stock now @ lazada @ link below

https://www.lazada.com.my/products/honda-ci...ls.item_title.1

ya.. the advertised pic like yours. but if you check on product reviews, all buyers get the same design like mine lucky

https://www.vinbattery.com/index.php?route=...ry&path=107_469

They are selling Centuary NS60LS-RM210, Amaron NS60LS-RM250, Amaron High Life NS60L-RM270 for civic FC.

(Price including delivery/installation and trade in old battery). Interested can watsapp them for further disc.

SC Panasonic always expensive

How long u take to soundproof 4 doors? I also bought the soundproofing materials months ago when promo.. wanted to install but still lazy.. lol

The result is it reduce the road noise as well? I don't blast my speaker..usually listen quite soft vol

My advise you should put with Msia super hot sun. The original darker tint on top is not enough.

Many times with direct sun from front, the additional black dark tint on top really ngam ngam cover my face + reduce glare.. no need even use the sun visor.

Furthermore should further reduce heat and give protection for interior although i'm already using the highest range Raytech.

As for the dashcam. Im using Xiaomi 70mai pro as in the pic. No issue. When u stand outside and look in.. cant really see the dashcam (Somehow like hide behind the dark tint). and you can only see the camera lens if you bend down to camera height. Plus the dark tint actually protect the dashcam from extreme heat and direct sunlight.

Dont worry, the black tint is strong enough to hold the camera. Both my cars install the same and use more than 1 year+.. zero movement from the sticker

Just my opinion.
