Believe me, I tried all manner of trying to turn the volume down in those few seconds. The country music was quickly killing my brain cells. :eek: The "quick slide to mute" function also doesn't work until the HUD is booted. This is just an FYI to anyone who may be on-the-fence about the...

I'm one of those who actually like the sliders on the wheel and the HUD but after having my car for 7 months, I finally have one issue with them where a physical knob would possibly be better. If my wife drives my car (which is rare), she has an unfortunate habit of leaving the volume up around...

I bought one of these... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VE8DCXY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and have it mounted onto the windshield against the left side of the windshield right up next to the A-pillar and dash. The neck rests on the dash and basically sits just in front of...

Sorry but in order to get decent gas mileage from a commute where you average 16.8 mph in heavy stop and go (and crawl) traffic, you might want to get a hybrid next time. I bought my Civic for highway speed mpg and it does great at that. I can tell you from experience that it plummets down to...

What the heck is this, a fee for the clearcoat? :rolleyes1:

Talk about moving the goalposts. The statement "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" means that said item is broken. Meaning it works so very little as to be inconsequential or not at all. This is not the same as change or improvement, hence my argument. Although change for the sake of change is...

But you can't put it there! People will still turn the climate temperature knob when trying to reach for the new volume knob. It'll be a total failure unless you put it in the same place as a 1973 Mercury Cougar because that's what people have learned!

Owning an electric car would be great if I had a house I could plug it into. Unfortunately where we live houses are astronomically expensive, so we rent an apartment. I think improvement and change is great. It does seem as though many people would rather stop learning and changing even basic...

Horses weren't broken either, so why change it? Or bending over all day to cut and bale wheat. I could go on with this all day, but some people don't have a problem with the new volume controls. Some people do. Isn't it nice that we all get to have different opinions about advances in technology...

That's weird. I've definitely had to use VN in iTunes with some of my tracks and haven't had an issue. To be honest, I do sometimes take control and set the gain/normalization values directly on that file in iTunes because it can be a little stupid with some of them. You could try the same. I am...

Two words: Volume Normalization Either the device you're using the play the MP3s or the MP3 manager program (iTunes, MediaMonkey, etc)should have this option available so that you don't have to change the volume level for every song. Even the SVC feature is designed so that you don't have to...

This is only applicable if the fuel pump is housed inside the gas tank. Not all of them are. The gas passing through is still used as a coolant of sorts as any heat higher than the temp of the fuel passing through it will be transferred on its way out of the pump. Plenty of fuel pumps are...

So you're saying that the touch interface is difficult to use when you are blatantly ignoring the use of the steering wheel control while driving? I don't understand this at all. Do you also not use cruise control or the dash info buttons since they aren't located somewhere other than the...

All this talk about sliding your finger across the volume control makes me cringe. You folks do know that on the head unit you can just press the +/- sections of the touch display to just go up/down one volume increment, right? The same goes for the steering wheel slider except that interface is...

And people think we don't really need autonomous cars...

No, not all of them are like this. Folks who buy Hondas are generally working within a budget with a monthly payment in mind, so the dealerships often start there. However, if you'd have told the dealership I bought from that you were paying in cash, they would have simply moved on to what...

Hahahahahahahahaha! That's funny. Could you call him and ask him exactly how many manufacturers have let their "mid/compact sedan" replace their "full size" sedan segment? I can't think of any but he might have much more knowledge than I. I wish. I'd get in so much trouble. It's bad enough...

You're welcome. Here's to hoping that this latching mechanism is able handle some abuse and doesn't give up right after the (rather short) warranty is over.

Seconded. The "popping open" tends to be because whomever closed it, didn't really force it closed. It takes more than a light touch to really close the gas door and have the latch mechanism click closed properly. I tend to use the heel of my hand to really push the door into the spring latch...

Really it's so that you don't have to use your hands to lock the doors. You can touch the button on the door handle to lock the doors even with your keys in your pocket. I really like the fact that after I lock my door, I never have to take my keys out of my pocket until I get back home and...
