Heh, was just going to post that exact same quote...
I hope this is the same system I have in my '17 Ridgeline that is capable of receiving SiriusXM's Xtra channels. I listen to Utopia, which was moved from channel 55 to channel 341. Relatively few receivers can receive the Xtra channels. The 2016 Civic press release advertised SiriusXM 2.0, but my brother's '16 Touring was unable to tune to the higher Xtra channels.
Thank goodness! A rare animal for Honda (and most other brands these days), this has actually been standard on all Civic since the 2016 model year. GM, in particular, used to use a lot of VDCs, but they largely fell out of favor due to cost and complexity. Unlike a cycling compressor, the clutch on a VDC remains engaged while the compressor varies its displacement. Cycling compressors have always bothered me - especially at idle - due their abrupt on/off action every several seconds. A VDC reduces compressor clutch wear and provides for a more stabile evaporator temperature.
See, there's a 2.0 in there somewhere...
Both the 18" accessory wheel and 19" HFP wheel are dealer-installed items. The 19" wheel requires new tires as well - probably 235/35R19 to maintain approximately the same diameter. Also, it's almost impossible to find all-season tires in this size - the vast majority are Summer tires.
Good find. I for one will be taking a spare tire.
I have always wondered that when you get accessory wheels do they gave you the stock wheels/tires back as well? If not then what a huge rip off! You can get better than OEM grade/lighter wheels for much cheaper.There's an error in the interior section. This is not a standard feature, although it is available an an extra-cost accessory that unfortunately requires disassembling the interior trim and instrument panel in order to run the wiring. I've installed these accessory mirrors in previous Hondas where the wiring was already present behind the overhead console, but I'm not interested in disassembling the headliner, A-pillar, kick panel, and instrument panel in this case.

You have options:
Thanks! I will likely get new lighter 18s and sell the stocks. Have done this with all of my cars. Can't even begin to tell you how much difference lighter wheels make in braking/handling/accelerating. One the best upgrades you can make!
