What little tips and tricks do you know?

Here's one my dealer just told me:


Do NOT! store your key fob within 30 feet of you Civic or else the fob and car will continue "talking" to each other and will drain the fob battery faster :O

Considering that my living room is ~ 15 feet from where I park my car, I wonder how this will affect me. Does anyone know how to replace the battery in a FOB?

Mine is too, and when my husband drives and I stay home, it hooks up to the Bluetooth on my phone until he gets down the road, so I think it is safe to say they are always talking. I can't see a way to change the battery though, but surely there must be as the batteries are warranted for 6 months.

Probably already known, but if you hold brightness, power/audio, and home, it brings up the task manager.

Not the exact same keyfob but looks close enough, so I assume access will be the same.

Within the unlocking range (6 feet), I would agree, but it sounds like strong radio interference in general can drain it faster than normal

Not actually a tip or trick. But you can't close the trunk with the FOB inside. The trunk will just open when you close it.

Wow the dealer never told me anything about this key inside the fob. This forum helps a lot! I also tried opening the windows and the sunroof by double clicking and holding the unlock button on the key fob. It worket great! I will use that option a lot during the summer.

A video of how you can quick Mute your stereo using the slider/gesture on the steering wheel.

You can remote turn on your civic with the Key fob. But you can also turn it off if it's on!! Just press and hold the same button

Is there a trick to 'mute' the audio with the steering wheel volume rocker? I've had it my audio 'mute' before with the wheel volume rocker but never able to replicate it again.

Edit; NVM! Posted above!

Didn't realize this at first but there is a stick like button sticking out of the right side of the instrument panel. You press it to cycle through odometer/Trip A/Trip B. Hold it to reset each trip. In the settings you can find I think under vehicle > meter settings to change when trip A and B start.

When the headlight are turned on & the dashboard goes on "night mode"... turning this protruding stick clockwise & counter-clockwise also brightens & dims down dashboard interior lighting,

Another interesting tip. Inside the middle console, located at the bottom is a non-skid pad rubber. If you lift the rubber, and take it out... at the bottom is a rubber etched artwork of "Honda Dreams". Amazing artwork. Take a look at this!

Yeah there are actually four variations on these. I got Asimo but I wanted happy racer so I ordered some.




I also found out if you take a screenshot with your phone it'll take a picture of your Apple CarPlay screen!

You know I thought that the owner's "guide" was the manual and thought I was done. Man I was wrong. The actual manual is 500+ pages.

You can hold the HOME button down and it'll open up a Task Manager like in other Android things!
