  1. This is what Honda and other auto makers should do

    I agree but for some reason my 17 Touring mandates me to switch my phone to "System Update" in order to get the phone to connect to the car's Android Auto which the Kia Rio that I just rented in FL (the Rio stunk as a vehicle but the car connected EVERY TIME to Android Auto without a hitch)...
  2. This is what Honda and other auto makers should do

    A little??? That's the understatement of the decade! I HATE the Honda infotainment setup. Takes 5 or 6 seconds EVERY TIME I touch the climate button. What a JOKE!! I've had multiple issue with my 17 Touring the NOISY AC unit is the latest. Of course the stealership can't replicate the...
  3. Android Auto Connection

    Thanks for all of the replies. I'm using an OEM Samsung cable, but I've tried several cables (Anker and others) to no avail. The phone is not rooted. Android Auto is the latest version downloaded from the Playstore as of Tuesday and the dealership just updated the firmware this past Monday...
  4. Android Auto Connection

    Samsung Galaxy S8 - why do I have to switch the phone from "USB charging" to "System Update" before Android Auto will be recognized by my Civic (17 Touring)? Been looking for an answer for this for 3 years and the Stealership is of no help. They say it's a phone thing. Funny thing is is that...
  5. What car do you plan on getting next?

    Shelby GT350. Been Jonesin for one of those since they were released.
  6. Crazy difference in MPG in different weather (1.5 turbo)

    I've noticed the same phenomenon with fuel mileage on my 17 Touring. I was thinking about this rotten mileage thing the other day on my drive home from work and in the process I think I convinced myself that I might be onto something. In the winter there are additives that reduce the energy...
  7. Extender Warranty

    I paid $300 for my gap ins. BUT it has an insurance deductible reimbursement deal that paid off in spades when I hit a raccoon and then a deer 2 weeks later.
  8. Any DIY guides on replacing the horn?

    Found this YouTube video (hope it helps - thx DIYHonda):
  9. What are the chances???

    For sure. IF there is a silver lining to this dark cloud, when I financed the car there was a deductible reimbursement rider that I opted for. It covers any deductibles for collision or comp claims against my insurance for the life of my loan and it covers all cars that we own. So, I'll have...
  10. What are the chances???

    You know what craziest thing is, is that I literally just purchased one and it recived it earlier this week. I was going to give it its maiden run but was running late to get out of the house yesterday morning, I would have loved getting that on video. It's the 4th deer I've hit in my 35 years...
  11. What are the chances???

    So this past week has been kind of a freakish week for my poor little 17 Civic Touring. Last week I was taking a friend of my son home and a raccoon crossed the road in front of me (at night) and once it made it across the road it decided to commit suicide by Civic. There was a knot head...
  12. 16-17 Civic 10th Gen Sedan - Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser (PP) - BLD-HC164H-PPCFCM

    Just a word of advice...If you're going to post photos of product on your website it is advisable to ditch the political bumper stickers or photoshop them out. Otherwise, people may ask for the products for free simply because you have them and they do not. Just a thought...
  13. Gas in my oil catch can , WTF ?

    Would it be redundant to say DITTO? LOL. I'm somewhat offended by this late offer to fix. I put fuel injection hose on mine and the smell is gone. If you want to fix this for me send me a drain kit and we'll call it even...
  14. Gas in my oil catch can , WTF ?

    That is my next step too if this doesn't work... :)
  15. Gas in my oil catch can , WTF ?

    Be 100% sure it is fuel injection hose and not just regular fuel hose or it will smell. I've had the fuel injection hose on the Civic for 2 weeks now and I just went out to check them and there is not even a hint of a fuel smell. Crossing my fingers that this hold true for the future... I...
  16. Gas in my oil catch can , WTF ?

    Well you're not going to believe this but I went into O'Reilly Auto Parts Saturday evening and was going to purchase the brass barbed fittings for the catch can. I saw a notification that you'd posted on this and I'm again getting the smell again at 500 miles or so. Well after talking to the...
  17. Gas in my oil catch can , WTF ?

    The fuel in the catch can is a misnomer, it's actually a mix of oil (which smells of combustion gases - fuel smell) and condensation. I've had nothing but this oily watery combo since new (I'm now @ 1800 miles). Can't wait to see if the springtime brings better catch can results like those of...
  18. Gas in my oil catch can , WTF ?

    Yes I've got the XML2s in the 6K temp - they are indistinguishable from the Tourings LED headlights. You hear the fans when parked and everything is quiet without the motor running. Its not a high pitched sound maybe like a medium pitched fan noise. You can ever so slightly hear them when the...
  19. Gas in my oil catch can , WTF ?

    I just took this but I'll see if I can get a better one with more ambient light. They match spot on and the images from Diode Dynamics sealed it for me. I can truly say that these LED fogs have helped me see deer in areas that are not illuminated by the regular headlights and the way the LEDs...
  20. Gas in my oil catch can , WTF ?

    Believe it or not I think I'm still getting a hint of gas smell in the cabin. I didn't change the fittings like you did but I think I'm going to do that soon because of this lingering smell. It's no where near what it was when the Mishimoto hoses were on it. To be honest, after taking the...
