  1. Remote starter not working during the morning on cold days 16' Civic

    At last an answer that makes sense but (a) if so, why isn't it in the manual and (b) why????? I use the remote starter on snow days to start the melting process (no garage, car parked in driveway) and today with 5" snow it needs to run several times. So an even more important question is (c) is...
  2. Audio and Connectivity Overview for 2016 Honda Civic Sedan

    I am returning for my latest and far from greatest report. After initial quirks, i had got to where i could plug my Galaxy Note 5 smartphone into my 2016 Civi and it would connect and allow me to use Google Maps for navigation using the ar's display, and connecting to Google so that i could see...
  3. Android Auto - Problems and Possible Solution

    My visit to Honda found a sorta kind solution. I still am not back to just plug and go with my phone (Android Note 5) as it was working until a couple of weeks ago. The solution is that EVERY TIME I start the car i need to plug in the phone, scroll down the top menu to USB connection, select...
  4. Android Auto - Problems and Possible Solution

    And now after a few months of trouble-free connectivity, a new fundamental problem: regardless of starting sequence, cable, etc. car displays "no device connected" or "connected device not responding". Nothing has changed on the phone itself. I'm leaving for a 2 weeks work trip next weekend and...
  5. Honda cleverly put a subtle smart phone directly on top of the touch screen.

    A new connectivity issue (sorry, cannot see how to start a new thread). After the infamous initial problems connecting (in my case, using Android Auto), Honda issued an update and all was working perfectl for several months. Now for about two weeks, regardless of cable used (I use the original...
  6. Deer hits Civic... Ugh...

    sO rumor has it, I have yet to see one after frequent visits over 13 years ... but I have seen a black bear; those we also have in New Jersey ..
  7. Deer hits Civic... Ugh...

    Looks like the 2nd of my deer collisions (Dutchess County NY about 20 years ago) ... buck jumped down onto my car on a narrow road from above a stone wall at the edge of a wood ... wrecked the front end, deer skidded away and disappeared. I drive in Vermont more now and hope to avoid moose...
  8. Full of Anxiety

    Reading posts in the forum is helpful of course, but after reading 1,000 pros and cons the eyes glaze over. I love my 2016 Civic EX-L - this after driving a 2002 Civic for 14 years - and the only trouble I have had is with connectivity - which i have learned is not unusual in ANY brand. This is...
  9. Spotting other Civic owners on the road

    Yep ... I have laryngitis and a cough but today I went out and drove around just for the heck of it.
  10. Spotting other Civic owners on the road

    I got my first Civic in 1973 - it was small and orange and I loved it. My last one was a distinguished dark green, had it for 14 years. Now I am wallowing in the luxury of owning a Burgundy Night Pearl EXL. I have had it since January and I can't say I have seen any others because when I'm...
  11. Android Auto - Problems and Possible Solution

    and how please do i "reboot the Honda system"? i understood that could only be done at the dealership. However. my note 5 has been working flawlessly now for a few weeks since Honda did update their software. But now a new question: if i want to listen to a recorded book (3M Cloud library app...
  12. Audio and Connectivity Overview for 2016 Honda Civic Sedan

    But now another issue, research has not provided the answer: I have 3M Cloud Library on my phone, I can log in to my local library and "borrow" e-books. It works in the car through the sound system ... but only if i start it before connecting the phone to the car. Can anyone explain to me (in...
  13. Audio and Connectivity Overview for 2016 Honda Civic Sedan

    well Hallelujah ... or should that be "modified rapture"? An Android update a few weeks back got me a way to connect by scrolling down to "linked to USB, click for other options" - then that went away too - but last week I brought my Civic EXL to Madison Honda for a software update and now the...
  14. Horrible parking civics

    Back when I was a cube monkey, a new employee (a lawyer ...) parked his brand new white car (a Camaro? not sure) diagonally - DIAGONALLY - across two spaces in our very small parking lot on his FIRST DAY at work. The very next day, he was side-swiped on his way to work and got in 3 hours late...
  15. Audio and Connectivity Overview for 2016 Honda Civic Sedan

    Thanks, i had in fact tried with a fully functional and pricier cable, but other sources made the same comment. This entire situation defies logic. Especially the conenction refusing to establish itself automatically from one day to the next.
  16. Audio and Connectivity Overview for 2016 Honda Civic Sedan

    I had many problems connecting my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 (having discovered for myself on one of these forums a fact not noted in the various manuals: that the connection will only ever work with the original cable that is supplied with the phone - no other USB cable will work) and then for a...
  17. First Scratch + Blemish

    Please can you say where you got the pen - online or ... ? I need one if it works on plastic (wing mirror). Good luck fixing your scratch, i suppose it's inevitable but oh dear, it is upsetting ...
  18. Android Auto Issues

    IMHO Disconnecting and reconnecting (while driving) although it works is a lousy and only temporary solution. I am still not thrilled with connectivity (Galaxy Note 5) even though i remain convinced that the USB connection works more or less without interruption only when Bluetooth is OFF. My...
  19. Android Auto Issues

    I had many problems with my Samsung Galaxy S4 in my 2016 Civic CVT EX-L before finally discovering it isn't on the "supported" list, and replaced it with the Galaxy Note 5. Still had problems with AA and the connection constantly dropping. The solution for me is that if you want to use the phone...
  20. First Scratch + Blemish

    I deeply sympathize!!! I got a scrape on left rear wing in the FIRST WEEK ... anonymous evildoer while car was parked ... grrr. The body shop quoted about $900 but! i happened to be at Honda (still attempting back then to get my phone to stay connected) and there was a "bang and polish" man...
