I rarely need a compass but sometimes it's nice to have. It appears most of the inexpensive ones use GPS & I wonder if they work if set in the console compartment in front of the shifter or if that's too shielded from satellite signals. Anyone ever use a digital compass such as this...

I rarely use my phone as a GPS & just set it in a cup holder. Propping it up in front of the console pocket/opening works for me but of course the phone doesn't stay there. Is there any kind of mount that fits in or on the pocket?

Is it possible to get an official pdf copy of a Honda window sticker? I do have the original but would also like a pdf copy. I have these for other cars & IIRC were downloaded from the manufacturers websites. But I can't find anything official from Honda. The sources I found seem to provide a...

Sometimes the inside trunk release works & sometimes not. I pickup my wife from shopping & press the release & nothing happens. Engine was running & car in park. I press a few more times & then the trunk opens. I don’t use the inside release a lot but when I do it’s always random if it’s going...

I have an OBD2 reader by BAFX and the Torque Pro Android software, but it only reads Powertrain trouble codes. Is there any Android software that will read the body and chassis codes, such as a bad wheel speed sensor? I’ve searched the forum & elsewhere but so far it appears any software just...

I looked at some threads & a lot of people recommend OEM Honda engine air filters & cabin air filters. One local dealer doesn’t list any parts prices online & has 10% discount coupons. Another local dealer’s online sale price is higher than most online vendor’s list prices. Any recommendations...

Anyone ever buy & use an add-on compass that doesn't look too out of place? Apparently you need the NAV option to get a compass. I never had NAV in any car & can't remember the last time I had a car without a compass. Even rental cars had a compass. I rarely need a compass but once in while it...

I washed the car & had the windshield wipers pulled away from the windshield. Then opened the hood & the left wiper arm scratched off some paint on the rear edge of the hood. Now I need to touch it up. How good is the Honda touch up paint from the dealer?

The right-front mud flap was loose at the bottom. Went to tighten the screw but it just spins. I removed the upper screw & it definitely bites into something. With the flap out of the way the lower screw just slides into the hole, there is no resistance. Is there supposed to be some kind of...

Last November I did some 0-60 testing using an OBD2 reader & the TorquePro app. I did four 0-60 runs, 2 on one day & 2 the following day. 7.67, 7.43, 7.38, 7.38 seconds. https://www.civicx.com/forum/threads/this-0-60-timer-works-quite-well.43503/ Thought I’d do a few runs today since the roads...

I just got a B1 Maintenance Minder notification and I looked at what items are supposed to be serviced per the Owner's Manual. My dealer has an online "B Maintenance Service" discount coupon for $137.95 plus tax & hazmat. It includes "Cleaning/Lubrication of Brake Components" an item which I...

I got a B1 maintenance minder message so I need to take the Civic in for service. Are there any worthwhile Honda discount service coupons? I searched but didn't come across any, just my dealer ones. My dealer has a coupon for oil & filter for $46.95 ( tax included, reg price $51.95) and a B...

Just thinking about winter & washing the car and remembered saving the links to these articles from last year. I found them & thought I’d pass along the information. Also did a cut/paste & posted the articles in case the links stopped working...

Sometimes I get in the car with the radio already on SXM and I want to change the channel right away but the system is not responsive. The display shows what channel I’m on & music is playing & the satellite icon indicates the radio is locked on. But clicking on the steering wheel channel...

This is a short version of my experimentation & trials. I read good reviews about the BAFX OBD2 Bluetooth reader so I got one on Amazon. Then used the Torque Pro app which said it could use either GPS or the vehicle’s speed sensors for speed readouts. I was getting very slow 0-30 & 0-60 times...
