Same here. Same tyre and average.

Please recommend a seller in Lahore who sells 100% genuine NGK spark plugs. Too many fake/chinese copies out in the market so hard to tell what's real.

sirf authentic parts hotay hain in ke paas ya chinese copies bhi?

[ifadey]

They only deal in original OEM parts or high quality after market parts. No replica.
When you ask him for a particular part, he usually shares list of all the compatible OEM parts that are sold in different countries. For example, when you ask him for Honda OEM oil filter, he shares
Thailand made, Japan made, and USA made OEM Honda oil filters. And last one is Asakashi after market filter.
Honda dealerships in Pakistan sell Thailand made oil filters.

My aspires android screen is acting up stuck at boot.

Any one else faced similar issues and solution to this?

[ifadey]

I have not faced this issue, but usually in such a case, you need to reset your panel. There are different ways to do it depending on the panel brand. Some have a pin style reset button, just like you use to eject the sim tray from a phone using a pin. The reset button location could be in front or at the back of the panel. I am sure about Honda City. I have not personally looked into. Here's an example

Some manufacturers provide five finger tap method. You continuously tap using all your five fingers multiple times at the boot. Here's a demonstration of this reset method

JazakAllah.

I got hold of the tracking world people. They told me it needs a software update. A 15/20 minute job but I will need to go in person.

Corolla, Honda Civic, City all these cars have kachra Androids., kachra interface, kachra memory.

How long Honda genuine oil can last for? Can we extend it to more than 5k km? 6 or 7k km?

[zeeshan-hdr]

Manual says for sever conditions 5000 km or 6 months for normal conditions 10000 km or 1 year.
Better is not to exceed 5000.

[sunradiant1985]

We come under normal conditions, I believe.

[ifadey]

0W-20 is fully synthetic. Not sure about 5W-30 since I never purchased that.
Fully synthetic oils can last 6 months or, 8000 km (whichever comes first) in severe conditions. Usually, severe conditions are defined as below by the manufacturers

• Short trips. Less than 8 km in summer and 16 km in winter is considered as short trip.
• Frequent idling for long periods of time, such as stop-and-go driving in heavy traffic.
• Sustained highway/motorway driving in hot weather, such as vacation travel.
• Towing a boat or trailer, carrying heavy objects on a rooftop rack.
• Driving in dusty conditions, such as dirt or gravel roads.
• Prolonged operation at sub-zero temperatures.
• Driving on steep hills or mountains on a regular basis.

We come under normal conditions, I believe.

Dil ko jhoti tasali dynay wale baat hai. Almost majority of us fall under severe conditions.

Keep us posted. Do let us know if software update change the maps date as well. Currently navigation maps are dated 2021.

why does honda dealership recommend 3 months or 3000km.

also what is the requirement for cvt oil change. the dealership told me recommended time is 2 years. seemed like they don't have much business so they were trying to sell me everything. tyre rotation was also offered. which was never offered before during the 2 years of servicing from the dealership which should be done more regularly.

my dealership used 5w-30 which i guess is fine for karachi. and the bill says SN which probably means its synthetic. but does the oil bottle have information like lifespan in terms of km or time. honda changes it every maintenance cycle which is 3 months and my car is low mileage as well. ran 2000km in the last 4 months

[ammarzubair]

where did you find this manual. my manual has different information

[chinyoti]

Got the software update done today,

Its a 15 minute process. Will update further after using it.

Since today when i was going to get it done, The unit was working fine. After waiting in the parking area when i restarted the car, It stuck at the HONDA logo again.

The guy claimed, Earlier we had to uninstall the unit and send it to lahore. Now they have sent a software update, for that they need to either unplug the unit for 10 minutes or remore the battery terminals for 10 minutes and then install the update.

The guy said its a common issue for these units to go dead, Jab tak chalta hai chalain. Phir replace kera lein.

khud b pareshan tha, Kia fazool system dia hai.

About the sygic maps, He said they keep updating automatically, He did install some maps, And said it wont be as good as google maps, But still take you to the main area (ie DHA phase 6 or Cant Station)

[ammarzubair]

at the moment google maps is probably the best option. i just use a hotspot to connect the unit and then use google maps. but google maps also has an offline maps feature where you define an area and it saves the data locally.

the issue is using maps on the screen is a hassle. its slow and no way to share a location to it

[chinyoti]

Im using YT music, The unit is only good for bluetooth connection to speakers.

It has such a nice interface the pathetic ram makes it crap.

The dual screen mode is such a nice feature too, But ismei ek app theek se nae chalti, 2 apps kia kareingy

[zeeshan-hdr]
