Did it and totally worth it.
Not so much now that CarPlay works with Waze but i still like some of the features it adds and still like using Waze running without CarPlay at times.
Support is good if you have any problems, like when my dealer did an upgrade and the reinstall of Honda hack...
The easiest and best way is to go with OEM from an EX with leather, but itās not as cheap as eBay. (10x the cost?)
Following is for the coupe (you didnāt say which you had)
Door armrests are $25 ea. (83502-TBG-A51ZA , 83552-TBG-A51ZA) Center console $125 (83441-TBA-A01ZA) center sides $49 ea...
I found the larger/far one was easy to do without removing the c-clip.
The smaller/closer one I tried to do the same but couldnāt get it back on with the new bushings. Fortunately it wasnāt that hard to remove just that one.

Final tweaks to my Boomba shift knob. Lowered to the perfect height with a Boomba short throw lever (and Acuity upgrades) and boot trimmed and attached. Amazing feel with no heat issues.
I ended up going with a combo:
Boomba short shift lever - 2 reasons - wanted to lower the height of the knob (now itās perfect) and itās all metal and feels more solid. Short throw was just an added bonus.
I also did all the acuity upgrades except for their short throw: bushings, spring, rocker...
Video was great and really helped the install go quick.
Only problem I had was I ended up knocking off the little black rubber cap on a little tube below the small one. (Not sure what itās there for) Finally located it with a flashlight and a grabber tool.
I installed all the Acuity upgrades...
Installed mine today on my Si along with the weighted Boomba knob and all the Acuity upgrades .
Length and throw are perfect now. Amazing difference in feel. Doesnāt feel āplasticyā or āclickyā Still a little clunky going from neutral to 2, 4, 6 but think thatās just the nature of the...
Need to drive a mile or so. Then park shut off and restart and it should take care of it.
I think some of the stuff is self diagnostics that only run when you start and some takes driving. Until you restart it just assumes that there is still a problem. It wonāt recheck automatically.
Not sure about the 2018 but in my 17 Si itās readily available.
Under āinfoā it shows the version information, although itās labeled as āapplicationsā:
If you go through āsettingsā and go to ādetail informationā:
Then you get into the actual android info and settings and it shows up as...
Definitely like the shifts better with the weighted knob, but in some ways it just points out how bad the shifter is in these cars. So clunky. Just not smooth at all. It really is the weak point. Maybe Iām spoiled after coming from a JCW Mini, and having had BMWās and a Miata. Hoping that...
Boomba Racing Weighted Shift Knob (w/logos removed)
Love this new knob! Great feel. Nice silky texture to it. Not too slick. The weight is perfect.
None of the hot/cold issues of the stock knob. (No more sock!)
Only negative is that itās a little tall (as was stock knob)
So I ordered Boombaās...

Take a razor blade and run the sharp edge across a sharpening steel or file handle and it will sort of curl over the edge into kind of a hook. Makes it into a superfine and sharp scraper. Drag it over Delrin (or other plastics) and it will remove super fine shavings and leave a polished finish...
No. My wife has to borrow my car occasionally. Every other stick car weāve had has had reverse to the left.
I am seeing if I can buy just the red cap. Otherwise I can live with it.
