The lack of a mechanical door lock is, in my opinion, a safety hazard. If you can’t get back into your car when you need to you could be in trouble. This especially true in the winter or during a storm. The lack of a key to get into the trunk is also bad news. If you need jumper cables or other emergency supplies in your trunk you are out of luck if the battery is dead.

@mooreracer Жыл бұрын

@@doctorkdsify The drivers door key cylinder does in fact have a mechanical connection to the door latch on this vehicle. "Scotty" apparently couldn't take 5 minutes to look at service information (or look more carefully inside the door) to learn this fact. Instead he publishes a ridiculous video and convinces folks that "New Honda's are Crap". Likely the lock cylinder was not properly installed by the body shop when drivers side was repaired.

i also dislike frameless car door windows where the upper window edge directly seals up against the roof/roof pillars because electricity is ALSO necessary to slightly retract the window when opening and closing the door. all the electronics with remote and automatic functions are a slow drain on the battery.

Only one door to unlock this has been our issue with Honda. If we get an ICE storm here in Maine and we face the driver side of the auto to the east, it will glaze over with Ice and even with the door left unlocked, it will still oftentimes freeze closed. The otherside we often find locked because of the automatic door locks. It sucks that Honda is too cheap to install that second door lock on the passenger side

Here's a trick I do with my Honda remote. They use a 2032 battery however you can stack 2 x 2016 batteries on top of each other. This produces the same Voltage but has more battery oomph available. The downside is a slightly shorter battery life. I've been using this method in both remotes for over a year now and it works great. Haven't replaced the batteries yet either.

@Argedis Жыл бұрын

Actually you are producing double the voltage because you are stacking them in series 6 volts instead of 3 volts. That's why you get more 'oomph' but there's always a risk of damaging the remote since it was not designed to be used that way.

It seems like the idea of "backup systems" is going out the window. There's a reason why all these smart home locks come with a physical key (which actually makes it easier to break into). Unless you can create a keyless system that can open the car when the battery is dead (say, at least 10x), then don't get rid of the physical key.

A better idea than leaving the window rolled down is to wire charging wires to the battery. That way, if the battery ever fails you can find someone to hook jumper cables to those hidden wires to get your 12 volts in order to unlock the car and pop the hood. Then take the cables off and go directly to the battery to get a jump start.
