  1. 2016 Touring keeps popping ABS/VSA Motor 40A 38233-TBA-A01 multi-block fuse

    Twice now, on starting the vehicle, the 4A "ABS/VSA MOTOR" segment of the 38233-TBA-A01 multi-block fuse has fused. This sets off many warning lights/messages. ABS, CMBS, TPMS, RDM, Brake Hold, Hill Start Assist, ACC, EPS, EPB, are among the complainers. (The vehicle runs fine, but many of these...
  2. Any Honda techs lurking out here? AC diagnostics...

    My question is: what diagnostic info is available via the Honda i-HDS scan tool to diagnose operation of the auto climate control in specific and the AC in general? The climate control in our '16 Civic seems like it is not working as it did for years and I'm having a tough time getting the...
  3. Bluetooth as audio source: what use?

    We have Pixel 2 phones, so basically the current definition of Android. OM says Display Audio Bluetooth source can play music stored on phone. Stored how exactly? I’ve never gotten this to work. My wife is into audiobooks played via Overdrive Media. Can those be played over BT? How? She’d use...
  4. Is anybody happy with Rain Sensing?

    We bought a '16 Touring, in part, because of prior good ('99 BMW 135i) and fair ('12 Ford Focus Ti HB) experience with this feature on other cars. And we live somewhere that can be rainy. So it seemed like a good idea. When we first got our Civic, the rain sensing wipers couldn't sense a...
  5. spacesaver spare vs. Honda Sensing

    Confession of an idiot: I was paying more attention to the parking place at the end of a row that I was headed for than to the curbing in the (shorter row) I was short-cutting cross. PRANG! Result was some scratches on the underside of the bumper skin, a little scraping of the air dam in front...
  6. Android "Company" only contacts

    I have a number of Android (Gmail) contacts that are for businesses not people. I've stored them with none of the people name fields (first, middle, last) populated, only with the company field. (E.g., "Home Depot".) These show up fine in all apps on the phone that use them. Indeed, in Contacts...
  7. "new member" '16 Civic review and comments

    We put a deposit on a MSM/GR Touring on the 9th of January. It got built in Alliston between the 14th and the 18th of February--or so we were told. It made it here, 4,700 miles away--great circle--by train, RoRo ship, and barge, on Tuesday. We've had it since Thursday morning. A not so brief...
  8. Add "WiFi device" in Display Audio?

    Has anybody made this work? With what kind of device? Tried to add my WiFi access point and failed utterly. 1) Normal guest network WPA key has spaces. Honda won't allow entering spaces in the WiFi settings app. Morons. Reminds me of MyFord Touch which also wouldn't allow you to key in many...
  9. '16 Civic North American factory locations

    Just so people have some idea of the industrial scale required to produce 300k cars a year: Honda of Canada Manufacturing, Alliston, ON, CA. (final assembly. some 2.0 engines) Honda Manufacturing of Indiana, Greensburg, IN, US. (final assembly) Honda of America Manufacturing, Anna, OH, US...
  10. Four free navi updates. But how?

    Press Release: "The system includes free map database updates for up to 5 years (initial purchase plus one yearly update each year for 4 years). Navigation OM: "Obtaining a Navigation Update Honda is continuously updating the navigation system. Navigation system software is usually update...
  11. So many options for phone integration, so little time

    <semi-rant> So, there's Bluetooth, WiFi, USB, HFL, HondaLink, AndroidAuto, CarPlay, Siri Eyes Free. And how many options past that point for phonebook, text messaging, etc.? Not to mention Aha and Pandora. (And that's ignoring iPod, SXM and all its options, HD/RDS, etc. And ignoring the vehicle...
