  1. Latest Honda Hack Pro v5.0.5 Is Awesome!

    Got HondaHack Pro a couple of days ago for my 2016 Civic because Android Auto stops working after a few weeks every time, even w/ a new OEM Samsung phone USB cable. So far, Google Maps/Navigation works fine on the HU, except the map rendering is a bit laggy w/ hotspot - however, the GPS location...
  2. Front bumper damage

    Some guy grazed his truck into my drivers side front bumper coming from behind (since my car was at a slight angle ready to pull into traffic). My car is a 2016 Honda Civic EX-T with Honda Sensing. Apart from the physically damaged bumper guard, the fog light broke and fell off. However, I am...
  3. Gas Mileage

    Since May'16 when I bought my car new, I hardly ever got MPG to exceed 28 mpg in city traffic on my commute. In early-Oct, I disconnected the battery for 2 weeks (while away on vacation). After re-connecting the battery, the system re-set itself, and the MPG immediately improved by approx. 5...
  4. What little tips and tricks do you know?

    If you like the Android Auto daytime screen at night (I do), turn on AA developer options on your phone by tapping on the "Android Auto" title about 15 times. That gives you access to Developer Options settings from the AA menu. Use at your own risk.
  5. What did you do to your Civic today?!

    Any suggestions on minor mods that can be performed to make the Civic's heinie look a bit more attractive? I mean I love how the car looks overall (esp. front & sides), but without resorting to major cosmetic surgery how can the back side (esp. the tail light profile) be made to look more...
  6. Little annoying things

    Steering wheel spoke attaches at the bottom, leaving no place to rest your palm at the very bottom of the wheel. Many other cars have the same design, but my previous car had a nice cutout where I could grab the wheel. Now I have to hold the wheel at an angle from the plumb line, and that is...
  7. Using Android Auto

    Yes, I do have offline maps downloaded, which work fine. In fact, I think functionally offline Google Maps using Android Auto is mostly equivalent to using Maps on the phone when offline. Question is why Google Maps *voice commands* meant for offline use do not work - e.g., "Navigate to (a new...
  8. DIY: Interior / Trunk Light bulb change/upgrade

    I got the JDM ASTAR 5630's to replace the interior and trunk lights. Brighter than the stock bulbs, but presumably not as luminous as the custom ones on Ebay being recommended on this thread. But I now have plenty of spare ones, and can use a few from this stock on my CRV as well. Just need...
  9. Using Android Auto

    When using Android Auto, when I am off-network, I am unable to use voice commands to request a new destination, for example. The infotainment system prompts me to use certain available offline commands (such as "Navigate to"), but none of those work as the system always responds by saying...
  10. CNET's Roadshow - Civic vs. Elantra vs. Corolla

    The Civic Sedan is more fun to drive than the other 2, but will need to fix or implement some minor improvements come next year to maintain its lead over other compacts: (1) make it easier to get in/out (both front & esp. rear) (2) replace the volume control with a knob and improve the...
  11. Post your tinted windows

    Cool, thanks. Will check out Tint World today.
  12. Post your tinted windows

    As discussed in a another thread, did anyone here experience the "refraction issue" from the rear windshield, post-tint? Also the prices mentioned here are significantly lower than what I am being quoted here in N. San Diego. Starting prices are around $250 for entry-level 3M films for just...
