  1. Infotainment software update?

    Do you put the zip file itself on the USB drive or do you extract it first?
  2. Summer ending- temperatures dropping - tire pressures getting lower

    This is wrong actually - nitrogen is still a gas that obeys the standard physical laws. Reducing temperature always reduces pressure with the other variables held constant. PV = nRT. What pure nitrogen does is reduce losses due to the n term of the equation (the amount of gas in the tire)...
  3. CarPlay and Apple Maps Help

    That’s only in the stand-alone navigation mode on the iPad (using slide over), not in the iPhone CarPlay mode.
  4. DON'T BUY THE CARS ON THE LOT!!

    Yep - here's one of the best detailers in the world showing how messed up even a $250k+ Porsche can be straight from factory delivery:
  5. Honda Dealer or a Regular Body Shop?

    I backed my Lunar Silver EX into a carport post accidentally (passenger's side rear quarter panel) and had a Honda dealer's body shop fix it because I was really worried about the paint match and figured they'd be best equipped to have the exact same color and flake pattern etc. They did a...
  6. Nano-coatings, ceramic coatings, CQuartz...

    Lot of misconceptions going on here. Paint coatings are *not* meant to protect against physical scratching, rock chips, etc. You need PPF/clear-bra for that. Putting a coating on your car is also not going to make it scratch easier than before - these things are atomic-level thin, there's no...
  7. Dash Flaking. Anybody seen this? Pic

    Cockpit Premium is more of an interior quick detailer than it is a protectant FYI. It has some slight UV protection characteristics apparently (someone on /r/autodetailing asked the company), but I still put 303 on after using it.
  8. Alignment Issue

    Had the exact same issue - the dealership fixed it no charge when I took it in.
  9. Fuel overfill - Honda is aware and working on it?

    Happens almost every time at Costco where I am.
  10. Specks of rust

    Definitely need to use an iron remover spray - I used CarPro Iron X on my paint last month and it got all kinds of stuff I couldn't even see. The smell is noxious as dc2turbo said though - use a respirator with it.
  11. Anyone else annoyed trying to dry the car after a wash?

    So I washed the car earlier today again - spent well over an hour after the wash thoroughly drying with my Pluffle towels and the air gun at the coin-op place. Still had water streaks running down the sides and up on the windshield after driving it home. I don't see any way to stop it, I...
  12. Ceramic paint coatings and road salt

    I may be moving to Michigan for school - if it happens, I'm going to put CQuartz UK on mine to protect against all the salt stuff. My dad's got CQuartz Finest on his car and it's great.
  13. Anyone else annoyed trying to dry the car after a wash?

    This might be my #1 complaint about the car at this point after a year of owning it - it's not sealed very well and I get water leaking like crazy everywhere after washing it. I'll spend a ton of time with the air gun trying to blow it out of all the crevices and cracks but as soon as I drive...
  14. Was there a Second, Third option when you bought the Civic?

    I looked at the 2016 Elantra and 2016 Focus too. Wasn't even close, I knew I was buying the Civic as soon as I saw it and sat in it.
  15. Recommended products for cleaning etc

    www.theragcompany.com Eagle Edgeless are what I use on my paint.
  16. Anyone testing iOS 10

    Another point of data here: I got an iPhone 7 Plus last night (came with 10.0.1, updated it to 10.0.2 first thing) and I have yet to experience the "This device is not compatible with Apple CarPlay" error. I've specifically tried to trigger it with all the things that were doing it with my 6S...
  17. IOS 10 Problem

    Turn your mute switch on the side of the phone on - that stops the issue for me. (of course you no longer get audio notification of a text coming in etc, but for now it's preferable to the music volume screwing up all the time)
  18. IOS 10 Problem

    Allowing third party nav apps in CarPlay is up to Apple, not Honda.
  19. IOS 10 Problem

    I'm using a brand new official Apple cable and getting the same thing - only happens when the phone is locked.
