Honda SC will never do anything that is not their own so you need to install it yourself OR you can get it done by your local kedai abang and pay them around RM10 - RM20 but the installation is so easy I think you can finished it in less than 10 minutes and then use that money to buy yourself a large McDs french fries.

I got myself the 70Mai dashcam, bought it for around RM190.00. For a budget dash cam, no complains for this and the design is proper enough and not intrusive. There is no need for your to splice any wires, it's all plug and play and it derives the power source from your 12v socket. No worries about voiding warranty and stuffs because you can just easily remove everything before sending it in for warranty claim.

You interact with the dash cam via a wireless connection through an app downloadable from the website (iOS and Android supported).

I remembered someone installed both front and back in his AE86 and he posted a video for it as well.

By the way, what do you mean by "parking mode"?

Video Recording Quailty

Nope, it does not. It only starts to record when your car is ignited. I am not sure if there is any 3rd party dash cam out now that supports continuous recording but I know that BMW's does that but also only for "events" (ie. if moving object or force is detected).

For the feature you are looking for, you need a dash cam that has that kind of battery that will store electricity power and it's not going to come cheap. Even your conventional dash cam that uses a capacitor instead of LiPo will costs you up to RM500.

better make sure you get the correct version but if you are well verse in chinese then ok la... for people like me (english horse), if see chinese interface then kaput.

6 months in and every thing seems acceptable. i noticed a small rattling on the left side B-pillar recently, i guess it's only normal given how much vibrations that car has to go through daily but other than that, nothing major.

Yeap, an owner of the RS Hybrid.

hahaha... that engine is alright.

i used it 99% of the time to ferry my family/parents so basically light footed all the way. no complains from them so far so that's that and yes, i have to admit, the suspension is to my surprise stiffer than I expected it to be but still nowhere as strict as my Mazda.

wanted to actually go full EV but did not have courage yet so HRV is a good compromise and is well within my budget and i kinda got addicted to seeing how the battery indicator gets charged up/accumulating

this one... looking at the green color lines flowing to the battery and the battery cells charges up is quite addictive

if you planned it very very carefully then it can. i think i've seen it at about 70%-75% but that is also because I was going downhill (the downward stretch after the Puchong Selatan toll plaza) heading towards Cyberjaya/Putrajaya so when that happens, you feel like you are the green-iest person in the world

difficult for me to say how fast the battery drains because (i) i never gauge it and (ii) i never take it for "spirited driving" but based on eyeball observation, the discharge rate is quite quickly when the car is going uphill but the rate in which it discharges is acceptable to me.

perhaps it is just me but i never intended for the battery to substitute my fuel consumption, i have been driving to charge up the battery so that i can use it during idling (eg: stopped at traffic light, crawling traffic, finding a parking spot or last-mile cruising in my taman from the guard house to my home etc.) and so far, i am liking how the system works.

frankly, this is quite an "addictive" system and despite only driving it on the weekends, i now feel "bad" for idling with the engine on in my Mazda.

this is my take on the variants, if you are a light-footed driver then you'll enjoy driving the RS but if you feel the need to put your foot down on the accelerator most of the time then the Turbo variant will be more suitable.

true that, the hybrid system in the HR-V RS is definitely not a highway cruiser.



I remembered stumbling upon a car reviewer who claims that Honda engineers confirmed that they tuned the hybrid system in both the Civic and the HR-V differently - in a way that the Civic will inevitably drive more "eagerly". Will try to find that video and shared here.
