I finally did it. Followed the OP's instructions and tweeter recommendation. Photos attached. These Hertz Dieci DT-24.3 tweeters knock the socks off the OEM Honda ones. While listening to some different tracks, I cycled the Fader control from front to rear a few times for comparison. It's as if...

I can confirm that on my UK-spec Civic, long-pressing the 'Lock' button does indeed auto-close all windows and the sunroof. One annoying oversight on Honda's part - when you auto-open the windows using the remote, the car should automatically disable the ultrasonic alarm sensors. It doesn't...

Did you ever solve this problem (the Boost gauge in Torque being inaccurate)? I saw in post #56 where you implied that the solution lies in a big list of PIDs in a different thread. I can’t see a supported PID in that list that refers to boost pressure. Does the MAP sensor effectively measure...

Thank you, squire!

Ooh, that’s an awesome idea for a home screen. I might just try something similar! Hopefully Android will not crash and reset all the icons like it did when I first got the car. I gave up customising the layout after a couple of crashes. Hasn’t crashed for months, come to think of it.

No, I try not to disconnect battery unless absolutely necessary. E.g. when messing with stuff that can’t be isolated by simply pulling a fuse. I’m guessing you used a bolt with existing ground wires - like the one I found. Thats where you have to be careful. If you’re undoing a bolt that...

Ugh, that sucks. Even with the 11-channel amp, it's not great. I reckon they basically got one of the work experience chimps in the Honda design centre to have a go at 'tuning' the audio system for his school project. Ouch - those Dynaudio speakers are expensive. Too expensive for the likes of...

Is your amp behind the plastic kick panel in the passenger footwell? My UK-spec Civic Prestige CVT (only £5k less than a Type-R; now wish I'd gone for the Type R!) has a small class-D amp behind that panel. 11 channels total: Tweeter and mid/bass driver x4 (front and rear doors) = 8, + centre...

I doubt you will ever find a spec sheet from Honda, or from Pioneer (who appear to have produced this infernal Android head unit). However, several forum members have measured the frequency response. I'm talking about the 'full' head unit with the big LCD touchscreen, with ancient Android...

Awesome! I’ve been given the ‘Finbarr Saunders’ treatment! (Google him.)

That’s a serious workshop you got there m’ man. Looks kike a HUGE amount of work. When mine hits 3yrs old, I’m going to take the extended warranty! Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Nooooo! I live in fear of this happening. It’s true that these Honda CVTs don’t (yet!) have a history of self-destructing but I tend to ‘baby’ mine just in case. I’m intrigued by the design of the sliding mechanism that allows the variators to move along their shafts. When you dismantled your...

My 2017 Civic 'Prestige' (UK Spec 1.5T hatchback with the CVT) does _exactly_ the same thing, and always has since I picked it up from the dealer with only 9 miles on the clock. I've often wondered whether to let it warm up until the revs die down closer to 1000, or whether to drop it into 'D'...

I wanted a bit more bass in my Civic, but didn't want the boot/trunk space filled up with a huge sub enclosure. After much searching, I settled on the TS-WX70DA powered sub from Pioneer. Reasons for choosing this over all the others: I might yet buy the space-saver spare tyre kit (UK spec...

That's hard to say, without conducting a series of experiments, to see how much charge you could take out of your battery and still be able to start the car. There's also the variables of whether you're starting the car from a cold or warm engine, and what the ambient temperature was. A...

I just pulled it (carefully) with my bare hands and it popped off the clips. Feels like it's going to break because it's rather bendy and flimsy. Once you've taken it off once, the clips become looser.

Kinda. Sorta. I've got a UK spec 2017 Civic 1.5T with the CVT. At 2700 miles and 2 months old, I'm noticing that I have to randomly push the pedal quite far down until it starts delivering any decent braking effort. A couple of times I've got off the motorway (freeway) and was unpleasantly...
