Nearly 100K miles in my 2016 Civic Touring sedan that I bought used in 2018 with 9800 miles. The air conditioner condenser was replaced at no cost to me by Honda earlier this year since it's a manufacturers defect issue. Routine maintenance isn't outrageously expensive either. I plan on keeping this car another couple of years at least. I highly recommend this car used.
Thank you
How’s the reliability? Cvt?
@@HistoricalWeapons
102,000 miles and still runs like a finely tuned Swiss watch.
@@ivanlowjones cvt? Nice . How often fluid flush? Trust the dash?
@@HistoricalWeapons I did my first CVT fluid flush at 30k miles
Thank you for such an awesome video! I just got a 2020 civic sport yesterday and all this tricks will be really fun to do and learn.
Glad I could help!
I love my Civic and this was helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for watching
I’ve had my 2016 civic for 2 years and I learned a lot from this video and several other of your videos. Thank you!! 🙏
I appreciate you sharing this because this is the whole reason why I make these videos!! Thank you so much for your support and watching
How’s the reliability? Cvt?
Just bought a civic today. Very helpful
Congratulations on your new Honda
great video; most helpful one yet
Thank you for watching!
Planning to buy a civic rs turbo and you just made up my mind for me... tnx bud 👍
Awesome and thank you for your support
I have owned mostly trucks but I have owned a few cars too; 1st car was 91’ Acura Integra 5 speed, 92’ Mustang 5.0 / 5 speed (Best Ever), 4 Civics(95’, 97’, & 99’) all 5 speed and great cars. My last truck was 15’ Nissan Titan 4x4 that got 12city/17hwy (worst gas mileage ever) that I “Happily” traded in on my new 19’ Civic EX 1.5L Turbo 33city/44hwy and didn’t realize how many cool features my car had till I saw this video of a Civic LX! I test drove a 2.0 Civic and then the 1.5 turbo realizing a world of difference in fuel economy plus had never experienced the pep of a turbo in an automatic 4 cylinder car!#Civic❤️#HappyHondaOwner
Thank you for watching and continue support in the Honda Family
Awesome video! Learned a whole lot!! Thanks!😊
Thank you so much. Don't forget to check out my walk-around videos, sharing the standard features and functions
Hello Chris, I got a 2016, bought it at 130k miles from a private dealership, went in for a service during the “1 month warranty” got it back with less miles, around 34k, now I went back and told them but they said it wasn’t there problem.. is there any way I can fix this? I wanna sell it now after 2 years (no problem sh
AMAZING VIDEO.
Thank you
Hi Chris: Thanks for the informative video. I had my front bumper repainted and suddenly many lights came on like adaptive cruise control problem, and Collision Mitigation Braking system problem. Do you have any tips on how to clear these lights? I appreciate your input.
Thanks for the support. I unfortunately don't have a fix without seeing it, but I encourage you to contact your local dealer for further assistance if they don't go away
Getting my first ever Honda tomorrow. Love VW and Audi but now Im going asian. So excited!
Congratulations on your first Honda!! Which model are you getting?
@@CrazyAutoChris I’m getting a 2018 Civic 1.0 (Elegance-package), black! 😍 Do you have any tips on what specific ”problem areas” I should pay extra attention to as I’m doing the check up before purchase? It’s from a dealership luckily.
I can't believe I have been rolling my windows down all this time w/o the key fob. Wow !
Glad that I could help! Thank you for watching and supporting the channel
It's too bad you can't stop them from rolling down so you don't wake up all the time with a car full of water. On the 2019 there's no way to undo that. If anybody has any ideas let me know
Great video mate. How do I turn off the Auto headlight? There is no option on the headlight level.
Which trim level and year civic do you have?
Hi! Your video was very helpful. I have one question. Is it possible to remove the clock wallpaper on the screen to just show the menu screen when I turn the car on? I have to keep pressing Home in order for it to show the menu. I'm not sure if I'm making sense but thank you !
I haven't found a way to yet.
The best video about civic tips I have seen!
Thank you for your support and watching
Very helpful!!!!
I'm so glad!
Excellent video. How do you deem the instrument panel lights?
On the driver's interface there's a stick on the right hand side, you should be able to twist it to adjust the brightness of the driver's interface.
@@CrazyAutoChris thanks i will have to get it checked when i turn it nothing happens.
Very educative
Thank you
Thanks so much
Thank you for watching 👍
Great video. I have a 2016 EX I bought new, and your video taught me things I had no clue about. I do have 1 question. I put the battery from my 2016 Civic EX into my husband's 2014 Civic EX when his battery died. Its been working great. Can using the battery meant for the 2016 in the 2014 cause any problems down the road? Thanks again for posting the video.
This would be a great question for your local Honda Service Center. I'm not sure on this one.
Shouldn’t be an issue
Hi how do you turn off the horn when locking the door and just keep the beep sound on? 2019 Honda civic sport
I have a vehicle settings video that helps with this. Thank you for watching
Great video. I did the cancel android restrictions how ever there is no browser showing up. I have 2019 civic if that helps
I assumed that you doubled checked and repeat the sets?
Hey Chris! Question for ya, I have a 2017 civic sport hatchback, but it didn’t come with a stock stereo, where would I be able to find the touchscreen from the video?
Not sure if I have a video covering that particular year but it would be in other walk-around playlist if I do
Shoot my lights for fuel efficiency are gonna be constantly white. 😅 I am not a fuel efficient driver at all
😆 thank you for watching
Is it possible to update the software version of the head unit? Like is there an update that allows wireless Android auto/apple carplay? 2018 model
There are plug and play devices that are simple to use allowing wireless carplay and android auto. I just never test them out myself yet. Thank you for watching
this was good

Can you change the icons on the dashboard by using the radio on a 2019 LX too?
Unfortunately the LX screen is very limited on the customization. You can NOT change the skins. Thank you for watching
Never knew about the trunk release and using the key to roll up the windows! I have a 2020 Sport sedan with a 6MT. I installed Honda Hack and changed things further (don't do this if you're worried about your warranty).
Thanks for sharing with others
Lol, my 2018 Type R has none of those features, that's because it's a UK version, I imagine the US version has heated Recaro's, panoramic sun roof and all the other executive features.😑
@gregc2467 I honestly don't know much about the UK version. Roughly around 10% of my viewers are from Canada. They occasionally share how their models vary from the American Honda market.
I recently bouhgt a 2018 Honda Civic which has repaired CVT and whose engine base is opened (previous owner obviously hide it and I only became aware upon visiting the dealership). Car is running fine at the moment but do you forsee any potential issues and symptoms that I should be prepared for in the near future?
That would be a question for the Honda technician, check if the repair was done correctly and checking the current condition of the used vehicle.
How can u change the color of the dashboard ? I saw it was like blue, mines red just wanna know how to change that ?
Thank you for watching. You may select the time stamps in the Description.
Honda Civic lover here! Just leased a Honda Civic 2021 and it no longer shows me the little car when I have cruise control on, so you know why that may be?
I believe that you're sharing about the icon with a car and speed-o-meter indicating cruise enable? It varies between models how it shows that cruise is enabled.
Take it from someone who actually drives one...it means there's no vehicle in front of you while CC is enabled. Honda sensing isn't detecting a car, so speed will not be adjusted until a car gets in front and trips your present sensitivity setting.
I bought my 2016 Honda civic sedan brand new. I’ve never had issues with the Bluetooths now it’s not working. When I hit the phone button it just says loading and then stops right away. I don’t know what I need to do to reset the Bluetooth to clear everything out to factory settings. Would love some help
The last customer I assist with the same situation just required a software update on their phone. I don't know if this is the same situation for you but check your phone if it's requiring any updates.
Why my 10th gen hatch back turbo manual version 2020 and made in UK doesn’t have this kind of radio looks and system. Mine looks so old skool and not have a lot of functions as what you shows in your video. Explain to me please.
UK and American Honda models do vary.
Honda owners are a different breed
Thank you for watching
2021 civic lx - steering wheel feel tight - any idea what could be the reason?? and humming noise as well (Speed 50-75 MPH )
I personally would have to ask someone in the service department to help me with that. I just know the buttons and features
Is there a way to change the font color? It’s hard to see with the background….
No there's Not
How do you do a system update on the 2020 civic sport if the system update feature is not accessable from to touch display?
It's more likely through the hidden menu or USBs
Can you do one for Honda Civic FK7 type please?
If I have the vehicle and the opportunity to I will
Where do you find the live backgrounds?
I have time stamps below in the video description.
As I followed through the steps to open browser, it didn’t appear on my Home Screen panel after I click the cancel android restriction, any advice on that?
I currently don't, but I'll put this under recommendations for future videos
Is there a way to turn off the remote window keyfob on a 2017?
Not on a 2017 year model. That wasn't added until 2022 year model civics
Can you get the leather seats in black for that same car
The Honda Civic has leather standard in the EX-L and Touring trims. Thank you for watching
Can I turn on the 2017 Honda Civic by juts turning the key without having to press on the break pedal first ?
yeah
Yes, you only have to apply on the brake for the push button start vehicles. thank you for watching
When Civic 10 1.5 turbo engine warms up to optimum level, idle rpm drops to 600-650rpm and car slightly vibrates. But if you put handle to N or P position when idling ,rpm goes up to 700-730 and vibration goes away. And also if you turn on any accesory like AC. Rpm goes up from 630 to 730 and vibration goes away. This problem occurs in every CVT CİVİCS . Do you know why ?
This would be a question for your local Honda service department while I don't know the technician side of Honda world thay well. Thank you for your support and watching
this is defenitely not a problem and it happens in every car every brand, not 100% same but in similar way
I'm losing gas I notice a trip light I'd on the dash how do I get that to go off?
Depending on the light, I reading this as if the TPMS light came on. Here's a video for that th-cam.com/video/hA5ALDnl_aw/w-d-xo.html
I have a Honda Cvic FK7 2018 from Japan, equipped with Gathers Audio System, and car dashboard in japanese. My remote start function has been disable, most probably because of car battery changed. I know from the stock audio system we can enable this option. But as my car is quipped with Gathers vxm-195 vfi and dont has this option. Is there any hack/tricky way to enable the remote start back in the ECU? Please help, many thanks Kavios
It sounds like you have done a lot of modifications and honestly don't know what they mean.
@@CrazyAutoChris the car came as is from japan
It has no OEM Head Unit so how do i enable this feature ? the function was there but stop after an ECU reset :(
Do the hubcaps from civic lx 2021 fit on 2016 civic lx
Should fit. Thank you for watching
Can u explain how to setting for honda civic 2017 auto door lock while drive start?
I believe that I have a vehicle settings video showing and explaining all the settings
As a fresh owner of a 2017 honda civic 5dr Executive my only issue is that i can't open my trunk wireless with the trunk open button, ive seen multiple videos about people with Honda Accord going to the glove compartment and turning a button with a trunk icon on/off then it works.
Have ben searching for about 8 hours now with no luck, does anyone know how to fix this ?
The trunk button on the fobs for the honda civic hatchback are to unlock the hatch while keeping the other door locked. they don't have a powered hatch or assist open.
The key trick to open all the windows with the remote is exactly the same to close all the windows. You don't need the key, you can do with the remote. One click to close the car and the second, you hold and close.
I wish they did for the American Honda Market. Thank you for watching
@@CrazyAutoChris yes, I already saw another video explaining that. Sorry for my mistake. You also have something that in Europe we don't have. You can start the car with the remote control, we don't. 👍
Really? that's awesome to hear :D

I have a 2021 honda civic hatchback sport, after an oil and filter change, i cannot reset the maintenance minder. I chose to clear A, but it wont clear and still shows. Any inputs?
Are you doing it through the driver's interface?
If you can't do it it through the infotainment screen, it needs to be done with a scantool.
if you use images from a usb stick, does it have to stay in? Or can you remove it once it's set?
You can remove it once you're done
@@CrazyAutoChris thanks! Can't believe it took 8 years to discover this lol
How to use the touch screen to watch videos?
I have video showing how to use internet browser.
I went to special feautres to remove android restrictions and the option is not there? any help?
Maybe they have already been remove or a software update taken place. It's hard to say without helping in person.

Which year and trim level do you have?
Hello sir have you ever experienced Honda DCT car.
Not sure what DCT stands for?
@@CrazyAutoChris dual clutch transmission. My first car is Honda grace that is Japanese domestic one. It has DCT. Since then I’m a big fan of Honda ❤️
@@ChannelAP166 I have not experienced DCT yet.
Do all these tricks work on a 2018 civic?
Most of them will! The LX trim has a different touchscreen.
I’m trying to use the browser but I get this message “this function is not available while the vehicle is in motion” how do I remove that?
I don't know if the program will allow you to change that because of safety measure set in place.
@@CrazyAutoChris quick question chris do i need to remove restrictions to watch youtube?
How do u mute the radio on the steering wheel on a 2020 honda civic sports
There are volume controls on the left side of the steering wheel.

Thanks for watching
Wrong! If the battery dies then the door key won't work, so what's the point of having a door key? 🤔. The door key connections are all electric so if the battery dies the door key won't turn as it's controlled by electric connections not cable connections LOL
You still can use your key to unlock the driver door. Depending on the trim level, it could be a standard key or a key inside the fob that is used for that situation.
Knows all the tricks and runs out of gas. Hmm
Thanks, it show that it has a full tank of gas.

Not for this generation civic but you can now for the 2022 civic. Thank you for watching
is it an android change wallpaper tutorial ? or car features video? anyone who uses a phone knows how to change a wallpaper. and in a car infotainment system no one cares about a wallpaper. and this video spends 10 minutes on wallpaper changing.
