  1. Cell Phone Holder Mount

    I'm wondering what others are using for a cell phone holder or mount. I have the LX so I'm going to rely on my cell phone for navigation and I would like to mount it within easy reach without blocking access to the console. I like the look of the ProClip mounts but they don't have anything for...
  2. LED Footwell Lights

    Why didn't you use an "add a fuse" and plug right into the fuse box on the left side of your picture?
  3. What do you do for a living?

    I work for an anvironmental non-profit and help farm and estate owners protect land from development. There is never an appropriate check box for my job on the forms that ask what you do!
  4. Electronic Parking Break & Brake Hold -- maintenance issues later on?

    I use my parking brake each and every time I get out of the car. I've done this on every vehicle I've ever owned. Maybe it goes back to learning to drive with a manual transmission. I'm not sure if it is better for the transmission or not...it is just the way I learned to drive. Also, I can...
  5. Glove Box Light

    I'm trying to figure out how to wire the power for a glove box light directly into the factory wiring harness. Any suggestions on where I could find the wiring diagram and the pinout for the factory connections? The OEM ambient light kit gets plugged into the 12-Pin connector for the A/C...
  6. LX

    I have an LX and like it. Some of the upgrades would be nice but I wasn't willing to pay the extra costs and they wouldn't impact my main reason for owning the car - reliable transportation.
  7. any other tall Civic owners?

    I'm 6'1" and have no problems at all.
  8. Which wires to tap for parking light and dome light circuits?

    I realize you asked this question awhile ago but College Hill Honda has instructions for the factory ambient light kit that may help you see where you can plug into the existing wiring harness. http://www.collegehillshonda.com/instructions/civic/2016/4dr/ambientlightingkit.pdf
  9. Door Edge Guard Removal

    My Civic came with dealership installed door edge guards. The more I look at them the more I think they break up the visual line down the side of the car. Does anybody else feel this way? I'm thinking of removing them and replacing them with the clear type from 3M I've seen posted here: List...
  10. Extra Key

    Wow, is that right? I didn't realize.
  11. Extra Key

    When I purchased a new 2006 CR-V I was given two remote entry keys and one key that had a built in transponder but no remote entry features (which I liken to a valet key). Even my old 2002 Civic had a non-remote key with a built in transponder that needed to be synched to the code in the...
  12. Extra Key

    I want to have an extra key cut to hide under my vehicle in the event I'm out somewhere and loose a key. Does anybody know if I can get a non-electronic "valet" key (without the buttons on it) that will unlock the doors and start the vehicle?
  13. EX-L Items for Lower Models

    Does anybody know if you can replace the back of the center console in the LX with the EX version and run a wiring harness to install an extra USB charging port?
  14. 2016 Civic engine recall - piston pin snap ring issue affecting some VINs

    I have not put in my specific VIN number yet but if you search on 2016 Civic Sedan you get: There are no current safety recalls for this vehicle.
  15. 2016 Civic engine recall - piston pin snap ring issue affecting some VINs

    I purchased an LX yesterday and nobody mentioned anything about this. My relative who is a Honda mechanic seemed aware of the problem but didn't seem concerned - said it was easy check and would be covered under warranty if anything went wrong.
  16. First crashed civic? :(

    The coyote is in the body shop...or the car? ;)
  17. Glove Box Light

    Okay, since it doesn't sound like there is an off the shelf solution I will probably pull 12V power from somewhere and use a small LED strip and a momentary switch to craft a solution. If it works well I will post my results here.
  18. Glove Box Light

    Does a lighted glove box come with any of the trim levels? If it does, it seems like those parts might be used to add a light to the LX model.
  19. Glove Box Light

    I just purchased an Civic LX Sedan today and while driving home my wife and I realized there was no glove box light. Has anybody come up with a way to add that to the vehicle?
  20. What did you pay?

    Shao, the price was from Ourisman in Bethesda. The dealership did have an additional dealer package of magic tire air, door edging, mud guards, and wheel locks on the car that I hadn't expected. They wanted $895 for that. I pushed back, my wife caved, and we paid $300 for those extras. Total...
