Wanna ask is anyone do custom dashcam with parking mode using hardwiring here?
*
i have, using 80mai dashcam with the wiring kit
doesnt work as all the fuse are live

buy something like this instead, connects to your obd2 port to supply power on/off

I wonder, did you use the ADAS functions. I always wonder if the nowadays popular ADAS enforced vibration, forced steering correction, lane keeping, etc contribute exponentially to this issue.

i do, almost everyday
could be, but pretty big design flaw if thats the case - but strange theory as it means micro adjustments to the steering wheel will cause steering rack issues

Just got out the sc for service, apparently my 12v battery is very low at 70% should be 80% and above
very normal?
I would expect due to the engine only turning on during higher speed driving , hence why the battery voltage is lower than usual
recommended to replace RM350 lol, think a few mins drive should charge back to full

Is the car too low for older people?

Hard to get out from it?
*
yeap
my parents hate riding in my car because of how low it is

but quite comfy for long distances.
short distances, drive their car
long distances, tend to drive my car

hello everyone, my car has not been able to detect my key fob so i suspect i would need to replace the battery

i mainly use the smart key fob, anyone has any idea on how to replace the battery? i see theres a notch at the bottom where i assume the battery is, but am not able to slide out.

1 year into ownership of ehev, 12 volt battery dying alrd
hard to start the car as it starts in ev mode first
but given some time, it will charge the battery enough so that all the electronics come to life

Mine also died. I recharged it with trickle charger for 24 hours, and managed to use it for another 7 months. Second time it died after 7 month, i didn't bother with it anymore and straight change to a new one. FYI, the batt in the engine compartment only warranty for 12 months. On a bright note, replacement cost is not very expensive for the batt. Compared to my old ford which cost RM600 bucks. It cost about 200 bucks, 1/3 of the price.
*
oo good idea
the low battery issue getting worse and worse
now if I leave the car not running for 1 or 2 days, it will have all the warning lights turn on when I start the car

200rm is not too bad for a replacement, will probably change it at the dealership when I get the chance

thats why i am not dare to get civic lo, it is not about whether this problem is fixed or not at the end of day. The way how a car manufacturer reacts to the problem is what i care the most.

ah alright noted
may i inquire which vehicle you ended up purchasing?

on FB people keep asking if the Rack on this got a new update or not. Many ex owner just turn off with this brand due to rack issue.
*
most likely not
just a bodykit upgrade

going to see if the front bumper price is appealing or not
nicer rather than getting those ala2 konon type r front bumpers

Steering rack recall

leaving this here for ehev owners
if your 12v battery voltage is low and you're experiencing difficulty to start the car, try to remote start on the honda connect app

the honda connect app automatically tries to start the engine, which will hopefully charge your battery enough so that you can drive to your nearest workshop

If you try to turn on the car manually, it will start in ev mode first and will not have enough voltage to start the car

that bad?

but Eugene from Autobuzz seems to praise the Civic to be like a holy grail of cars D:

brand new car, sure
but after a while the steering rack issue will come out then the joy starts to go down

me personally i dont really mind it that much on my car, not as bad as some other's based on description

hi all. i am thinking to buy a civic fe 2025 e spec this month with a 13k rebate from honda. i am aware of the infamous steering rack issue, with a little information about this 2025 facelift model, is it a good deal or i should wait for another 6 months to see if things get better for this steering rack issue? thanks
*
doubt the steering rack issue will be revised with the facelift since the internal parts are all the same sku
you'll probably just receive the upgraded grease and springs within the steering rack from the factory as apposed to the rest of us who have to bring to the sc
