All you Hatchback people, does your steering wheel volume control work with 'swiping'?

If not, you are not alone...

The swipe feature doesn't work on the steering wheel It would be really nice to quickly be able to just mute audio (rather than turn off)

Is your volume control on the steering wheel touch sensitive in the center? Mine only functions when the + or - ends are pressed. I am wondering if mine is not working properly or if Honda decided to remove the touch sensitive feature in 2017.

Edit - just noticed someone above me asking this too. Watching a CR-V video yesterday started me wondering since it has touch sensitive volume on the wheel. In researching I see Edmunds complained they accidentally changed volume too often on the 2016 due to the touch sensitive button's location.

So Honda should have just made it so the user can leave the swipe feature on or off...

If it's already there and working on previous models, then it makes no sense to totally just disable the swipe feature...

I actually took my hatch back to the dealer since the sales guy told me the volume control on the steering wheel was touch sensitive. They actually went in the system and pulled a bulletin out and showed me that it was not touch sensitive in this Hatch model, you have to use the +/-.

It's always interesting when you end up teaching the sales guy something new!

Another tidbit for all you Hatch people:

There is an option to turn off swipe gesture on volume control. Wonder if that's off.

It is not available on the hatchback whatsoever and that is by design from my understanding!

That is my understanding too BUT you should have quoted cdmta and not me...

LoL

Well you asked the question like you legitimately thought he had an answer so I was again clarifying there will be no setting to take a photo of on the hatchback, that is all.

Who knows?
Maybe he found the super secret switch that we all missed!
I figured it couldn't hurt to ask him to back up his statement...

Well, I will cross my fingers that is the case but since he says he drives a Prius I am not holding my breath

Not sure if it's the exhaust note or the CVT, but my hatch makes a noticeable growl sound when accelerating. Does your hatch do this? A friend says my car sounds like a truck approaching. I definitely did not notice the sound in the sedan I test drove. I love the car and the growl is kinda sporty -- just wanted to make sure it is not a potential mechanical or exhaust problem.[/QUOT
I have the 2017 Sport and it's very quiet. When stopped I do hear a very quiet modulating...purr? Boy that looks weird on screen. I don't mind it, but haven't heard anything like it before. Anyone else noticed this?

Yes I have. I did it progressively darker, from the front to the back, however I am finding it very hard to see backing up at night. I also find the rear defroster doesn't work all that well, not sure if the tint is causing it or not.

I did 35% on back seat windows, hatch and visor strip. It's an improvement but would highly recommend 20%. Don't love the way headlights look from behind through the tint, kind of a glare effect.
If you do a visor strip on the front window I'd recommend limo if you're allowed where you live. The dark patch (wires?) that comes down from the roof to the rear view mirror doesn't look good showing through the lighter tint.

My Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) came on so I checked all four tires and found that they all had exactly 51 PSI...
WDF?
I guess I should have checked the tire pressure when I bought the car 3 weeks ago but it's been cold and I was busy and lazy at the same time...
I lowered all four to 40 PSI since the tire itself says MAX - 51 PSI and the door jam says 32 PSI so I went in between...
I reset the TPMS...
After 2 days the TPMS came on again!
I checked all the tires again and they were all exactly the same 40 PSI as I left them...
Strangeeee...

I had the same thing happen. TPMS light came on, took to the dealer cause I actually suspected the sensor, and had 60 and 55! The guy asked me why I pumped them up so much and didn't believe me that I hadn't touched them. Thank goodness it's the dead of winter.
