  1. [Solved?] Cannot Control Passenger Power Windows from Driver-side Controls

    Must be a different system on the RDX. My symptoms are like the others- Passenger side switch auto-up and auto-down do nothing, although you can at least roll up and down the window. Driver's side passenger window switch won't even roll up or down the passenger window. I did try the "roll up...
  2. [Solved?] Cannot Control Passenger Power Windows from Driver-side Controls

    It's interesting that you mention that - First off, no, I haven't. I may try that. But my imagination is already going to "What could be causing it?" from there.... I couldn't swear by it but I installed a relatively cheap Android head unit, because it came in a Civic-specific format and has...
  3. [Solved?] Cannot Control Passenger Power Windows from Driver-side Controls

    Interestingly... I'm having this same issue, after I pulled apart my doors and did a very thorough Dynamat and CCF job. I'm a former pro installer so I did take precautions, but accidents are of course possible so I'm not going to rule out anything - but I did pop the panels on both doors today...
  4. 10th Gen Civic Light Bulb Size Guide

    Surprised no one has asked either of these - 1) I'd like to eliminate the passive amber reflection of the (unlit) bulbs in the daylight. Are there LED options that simply illuminate amber but aren't physically colored amber when not lit? 2) I'd like to do the same for the rear, and...
  5. Can some explain how manual shifting works with CVT?

    My 2017 sport hatch has the paddle shifters. As a former die-hard manual transmisison enthusiast (I still own a 1995 Civic EX manual that I bought new and supercharged back in 1996), the CVT is great in the ways you like AND hate. PROS: That constant RPM that you don't like - it makes the car...
  6. Chromecast to touchscreen

    You might clarify what is a "Civicx Elegance", and a "Honda Hack". Are these things that we don't have in the states? If you are asking if there's a general hack to allow you to [specifically] chromecast to your existing in-dash display - you would need chromecast hardware. There are...
  7. Civic Hatchback - Completely Glass Roof (Coming to USA?)

    (Sorry - I dug up this thread actually because I leased a Sport last year, and love it enough that I'm considering buying a higher model when I'm up - and was specifically searching for pics/threads of that roof) My two cents FWIW... I've had cars with sunroofs, moonroofs, and currently...
  8. 2017 Hatchback Roof Rack

    I have installed it, it's been on my car for months now - including many trips to the hardware store, I even strapped my ladder to my roof to bring home 7 square of siding, and all my corner posts, J-channel, starter strip, and other supplies on the roof. I have an unlimited subscription...
  9. 2017 Hatch 8" subwoofer install

    Stay tuned. I've had a million projects keeping me down, including leading a big corporate project in my IT career, siding a shed at the girlfriend's house before the snow starts to fall, and tying up a million loose ends and renovation projects at my house so that I can put it on the market...
  10. 2017 Hatch 8" subwoofer install

    No personal experience other than lots of general JL experience, and I do own a 12W7. They make high quality stuff, and that 8" is notably more ludicrous than most subs. They have engineers that know their stuff. You can be assured there won't be any silly problems like a high moving mass to...
  11. 2017 Hatch 8" subwoofer install

    DIY gets my vote every time - that's how I got my start in audio almost 30 years ago! Bear in mind it's not just "the sub"... there's laws of physics at play that say you can only have two of the following three things: 1) small enclosure size 2) low frequency extension 3) high efficiency...
  12. Headunit and Amp install - Wire routing - Sport hatch

    I used to be against ditching customer's spare tires as a rule (right up with cutting factory wiring) - but in the case of my lease, it may be the easiest-to-reverse way to get a sub in there. And today, the implication clearly isn't "spare - or stranded". Getting your hands on an official Si...
  13. HFP Package Coming For Civic Si and 5-dr Hatchback Models

    Exactly. If you want a car that's styled like a big yawn - go buy one. There's plenty to pick from. Because there's more of those, and less of these... doesn't make THOSE the "attractive ones". That's lemming phenomenon, not taste. ;) As a 43 year old adult, I love that this has a touch of...
  14. Headunit and Amp install - Wire routing - Sport hatch

    It's as you say - people won't pay fo the good stuff, so it disappears. That doesn't make class D better than A/B. Those are power supply switching nature fundamentals - those classes are what they are, advantages and disadvantages are what they are - people voted with their wallets, and high...
  15. Headunit and Amp install - Wire routing - Sport hatch

    Amp in any enclosed space is a bad idea - amps need to be able to shed heat. Plus, wiring shouldn't be subjected to continuous flexing that could lead to failure, shorts, crackles - any number of problems. The potential for 'projectile" is likely small, but sure - doesn't add a checkbox to the...
  16. Headunit and Amp install - Wire routing - Sport hatch

    To be fair - most everything is MORE dog shit than they used to be. People aren't spending money on car audio these days... enthusiasts in general are waning - that's not just a mobile audio problem. Long gone are the days of quality class A/B (much less class A) amps when $1/watt was a good...
  17. Headunit and Amp install - Wire routing - Sport hatch

    Thanks - a voltage divider really isn't complex to build - try making passive crossovers (and to be fair, even those aren't complex to build... it's the math that'll kill you lol)! :D But to be fair my first major in college was electrical engineering, before moving on to info systems and an IT...
  18. Headunit and Amp install - Wire routing - Sport hatch

    If it's that simple, that could be an easy DIY project if they can put up a schematic. I was assuming there was a dedicated video processor inside the factory head unit, to manipulate the video signal into the three views... That wouldn't be something you could knock up quick, if so. But...
  19. Headunit and Amp install - Wire routing - Sport hatch

    I haven't done this yet myself, but worst case there's generally a main harness that passes through the firewall via a larger rubber boot. I usually carefully poke a small hole in that boot (I use a long, sharp woodworking lathe chisel - I happen to have one that's 24" long) and run a fishtape...
