I wonder how the booking really works.

We place a booking so that we will be in the queue, then suddenly got SA to advertise that they had ready stock and can deliver by month.

I understand it could be due to the one who placed the booking cancelled or being unable to secure a loan but it doesn't seem fair for those who actually place the booking to be in a queue right?

Why not that 'ready stock' car moved to the one that is in the queue instead?

Before Honda officiates the booking in June, I heard some SA are collecting booking for the HRV as early April/May.

I booked on 10th May and confirmed on the spec mid of June. But up till now SA keep saying still haven't got any official allocation for his showroom yet, only know ETA in 2 - 4 month 🥲

Just taken delivery of my wife’s HR-V V Spec.

Good news: The latest HRV got RDS - not even my current Civic FE RS got… the turbo engine is similar to my Civic - didn’t push yet la… only 15km driven laugh.gif
Bad news: no auto folding side mirror. Not sure if there is a setting - but didn’t see any for this. Also, A pillar on left side + side mirror is a huge blindspot in my humble opinion.

Just a short drive, so can’t comment much yet. Will update my first impressions later.

Sorry out of curiosity, what is RDS?

So after driving 1284km on my wife’s HR-V, the oil life maintenance minder finally showed the remaining mileage, and it was quite a surprise to see the figure laugh.gif

This oil maintenance is different from the periodic 10k service is it? I guess the distances is the estimation only and it depends on how you drive?

I saw some people post in the fb group, their oil change reminder is around 4.5k only. Haha

Finally got my car today. What a suprise, my SA wasnt even aware that V spec comes with Honda Connect until I shown him the official brochure. He said he will asked the admin to get it enabled for my car.

Anyone can share whats the actual process to get the honda connect enabled on my apps?

I believe if you have installed the Honda Touch app, then most likely you can see the Honda connect button in the app. I do not have Honda Connect because my car is turbo E type.

Do you mean this? Yeah I can see it, but when I click it says:

I guess I will start chasing my SA then, thanks for sharing!

Your role is just to install the app & register. The subsequent steps, need to be done by the dealer. You just need to share your phone number + email address used to register the Honda Connect app. If dealer don’t do, you need to kejar them
*
Alright thanks man, i'll be sure to chase my SA down until this is resolved.

---

That aside, after getting the car most people recommend to check on the tyre pressure due to check the pressure and I did, guess what its way lower than recommended pressure. The tyre was at 180 kpa - 190 kpa on all side... 😅

Anyway loving the ride and no regret getting it so far. Haha

I assume you also installed the Honda Connect app right? There are 2 apps, Honda Touch (servicing / maintenance) and Honda Connect (car remote + tracking).

I really sakit mana seeing the old HR-V graphics for the Honda Touch app laugh.gif

Yeah I did, and this is what it shows.

May I know if it really worth it to go the hassle of chasing dealer to get it resolved everyday? What feature does Honda connect for HRV offers if you don't mind to share.

You already paid for the feature as it’s included with the price of the car. It’s a 3 year subscription, although i’m not sure if it starts from the day it is activated, or the day you get the car as it’s supposed to be activated when you receive the car.

The app tracks your car gps activity (distance, max speed, average speed & location tracking) and also remotely “find your car”. You can also use the app to:
1. Lock / Unlock the door
2. Turn on headlights (e.g to be used at night and you forgot where the car is)
3. Remote start/turn off the engine.
4. Find out car status: battery, airbag, fuel level, car range & door lock
*
Oh man, that is some useful feature that I could use of.. but you were saying 3 year subscription, after that what? I need to pay for the subscription?

Just drive it a few rounds and it should be available, provided that your dealer had keyed in the info into the system. That's what my dealer told me. I collected my car on Saturday, on Sunday it became available already.
*
Glad that I'm not the only one that is missing out on the feature during car retrieval.
Curious how these feature can be activated remotely through the apps, does it mean the car itself has these module connected to the internet all the time. mega_shok.gif

2 days and it still haven't connected so far. Still waiting.

Yeah I straight away look up and refer to these paultan article that I found;

So apparently my Honda Connect has been activated since day 2. But since I didn't turn on my car due to work from home, its pending ignition to get the sim activated.
(as shared by my SA)

Means there is an attached sim in the car, and yeah as isr25 mentioned, it is valid for 3 years only as seen in the image and the date started from when the sim is activated.

----

Other than that, while I was fiddling with the setting I notice that walk away auto door lock was disabled by default. I thought this feature was not available at all.

I too installed my wife’s car dashcam with Sicurez. Quite good, but make sure you are there watching their work - my wife’s car was the first new HR-V to be installed there, but according to them it was quite similar to the old one.

Also, if you plan to install the anti-static film/plastic, do inform them earlier as they don’t install it and don’t recommend to install them - I installed it anyway since it makes it easier to take the dashcam off when required
*
Oh good to hear that. Any particular reason why those static film is not recommended? Afraid break in and thief stole the dvr i guess?

If wire connected to 12V fuse box, high chances warranty void on electronics stuff. Want to retain 5 years warranty, only option is plugging thru USB/12V socket plug. I’ve ask Honda SC and that’s what they answered.
*
Thats weird, SC and SA that I came from mentioned that if its pnp and it doesn't involve wire tapping / cutting of the existiing wires there shouldn't be any issue in the warranty.

On the warranty booklet its too general and doesn't cover much, 'any alteration or modification will void warranty of the related component' something like this. Haha

So i ended up hardwired my dashcam. I really appreciate those guys from sicurez by 'teaching' on how those hardwired process is being done and how to unplug the wire and all if needed.

And i agree their workmanship is great, but as mentioned previously they do recommend installation without the transparent film but I insist on getting them.

You got the a800s from them as well? I was wondering how much is the workmanship if I bring my own dashcam over
*
I believe its depend on the size of car / type of dashcam.
example:
- Hardwire / Plug in 12v
- Single / 2 channel cam (front only or with back)

As for mine, the front and back cam for HRV is RM130 for the installation only.
A bit pricey if you can DIY it but for someone like me who doesn't have the knowledge or dare to mess with the fusebox it's within my estimated budget.

im not sure whether I'm just getting used to it by now or that its really due to break-in of the suspension.

So basically when I got the car, odo at 30km+- I felt like the suspension is a bit stiffer than my expectation whenever going through speed bump or pot holes. Now that it has reaching 400km mark, I think its smoother than initially is and felt more comfortable than before

Am I the only felt this?

QUOTE(jimmychangas @ Sep 2 2022, 10:28 PM)
Ok it’s been a really busy past few weeks but yesterday I finally took delivery of my M gray RS.

Earlier in August I asked my SA about my allocation, she asked me to check back in Sept at the time. But a few days later she suddenly told me my car is allocated. I think the car was originally allocated (and actually transported) to another dealer, but because that dealer and the dealer I booked mine at are owned by the same boss, they just “transferred” that allocation to me. Can’t confirm if this is the case, just my thoughts.

Coming from a 2012 Jazz Hybrid (CBU Japan), here’s my first review. Disclaimer: I booked and purchased the car without prior viewing and test driving. Yesterday was my actual first time coming up close and personal with the actual car. Pretty YOLO but it paid off.

1. I’m 190cm tall and thankfully I still have about 2cm of headroom left after adjusting my driving position. It was also a good call to instruct my SA to not include the 7 inch tint sun visor. I’m able to see through the entire length of the hood, which makes front facing parking a lot easier.

2. Also thankfully, the side mirrors have a wide angle adjustment range (unlike the Proton X70 where the side mirrors couldn’t go beyond a certain angle, unable to eliminate far out blind spots).

3. I’m not a fast driving kind of guy so…. Even on ECON mode the HRV RS has decent acceleration to me.

4. Drove 55+km home after taking delivery, set ACC at 80kph (because…. I don’t know, let the engine break-in lol) and the meter says I got 25km/L FC

5. NVH is pretty good, except that tire roar is quite loud… I think it’s even louder than my CBU Jazz.

Sekian. More to come.
*
Btw yeah, I couldn't agree more. Moving from Persona to HR-V I felt a whole lot of difference in term of acceleration even on ECO mode. I don't find a situation where I need sport mode yet, I occasionally switch to normal mode when going out of roundabout or climbing elevated parking lot. but other than that I felt ECO mode is enough already. haha

Could be your tyre pressure?

Yeah thats what I thought initially after 2 hour drive on the first day. So straight away check the tyre pressure and it was normal within recommended pressure.
