2023 - 2024 Honda Odyssey Tips and Tricks | Hidden Features that the salesperson may forget to share

[@ryanmccullion7367]

Good salesman. Showed a lot. My salesman was so concentrated on the sale. Once the deal was done. He was like good luck 👍🏻

I was the 1000th like! 🎉 👏 also just wanted to drop a comment of appreciation for breaking down these features… most of us are in such a hurry to get out of the dealership so we don’t even know literally anything other than how to turn on the car, release park brake and shift gears 😆

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

I appreciate your support and thank you!

[@edwardnemec7611]

Great Video. The owners manual can be downloaded it is easier to read. Learn things like pumping at least 3.5 gallons of gas and wait 5 seconds before removing the nozzle and the correct way to go through a car wash. If you hit D twice without the brake you get accessories on to play with the settings while the motor is off. I'm still reading the manual only had my 2023 sport a few days. All this is new to me. These videos are priceless. The sales guy knew it in and out because his mother owned 2 Honda's. Bought used from a Ford dealer trade in. It's like new.

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

Congratulations on your new Honda. 👏

[@briannawehner8463]

If you forget to put it on park, when you open the door, it'll go on park. You must press the neutral button twice and hold it to stay in neutral, like car watch

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

Yes it does, when you have the door open while the vehicle is in drive (without foot on the brakes) the vehicle does shift to park. Thank you for sharing this feature with the community!

A bit more technologically advanced that our 2004 Odyssey! I appreciate that one can deactivate the "adaptive" feature on the cruise control. We have it on our Subaru and it drives me nuts.

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

Yes it does. Glad to hear that one of these helped with your Subaru. Thank you for your support and watching

[@bb_lz9790]

@@CrazyHondaChris-H18 I tried bypassing the Adaptive feature on my 2015 Subaru Forester today and it seems to work. Dug through the vehicle's manual and couldn't find this discussed. Can't wait for our next road trip. A new Odyssey is still at the top of our list for our next vehicle though.

[@danielcrespo9124]

Great video! I have a challenge for you to add to your video: how to set a passenger memory setting as the default? There are two buttons marked as “1” and “2”. On of them will be set as the default when you turn on the car. How do you set any of them as the default instead of always choosing #1?

[@Kfinch1992]

The most important tip about this van... Always carry a tool box, because when the engine inevitably takes a crap you'll need a tool box to remove half the crap under the hood just to get it into neutral. (You absolutely CAN NOT put this PoS in neutral if the engine isn't running)

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

Sorry to hear about your situation

[@russellsmith8444]

Love the Odyssey. Just still struggle with no tuning knob on radio. Why?

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

They don't have a tuning knob for the radio because now there's a tuning keypad kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZSciqGah6l8i6c

[@WRFrc]

It seems that all of the sudden our 2020 Odyssey Elite has turned the volume up really loud when we get a phone call to the phone connected via Bluetooth. Any ideas on how to remedy this problem?

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

There could be a few items. 1) some phones have a bluetooth volume settings. 2) check for a setting under system settings. 3) try adjusting the volume on the steering wheel while the phone it ringing

[@csh000]

Tip 7 only works if the key fob is nearby when the doors close. If you walk away while the sliding door closes, you will likely be too far and the van will beep 4-5 times to let you know the van cannot locate the key fob and it won't lock the doors.

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

That is correct and thank you for sharing.

[@runwayakitas]

Can I keep my 2024 Odessy running w the A/C on and lock the doors. I make a lot of quick little stops and my dogs are in the back seats. PLEASE ANSWER ASAP. I just got it yesterday. The only thing I don’t like is the “fab”. I’m old school. The thing doesn’t fit in my very small purse. Had a 2013 Sienna before. Wrecked. Hit from the front and back. Although the Honda is so much more plush I’m sick over my old one. All of this computer button stuff is driving me crazy. Thanks.

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

Yes you can! I have a few videos showing how to lock up while keeping the vehicle running

[@klaml.5898]

Cabin talk only have headphone on exL, I saw other videos has speaker button, so how I can have cabin talk works with speakers if my kids are not using headphones.

[@CrazyHondaChris-H18]

The Elite trim has the speaker button that allows you to talk through the speakers while the lower trim is only through the headset.

[@ramondelgado6778]

What an amazing review! Please help. Can you add the "handsfree tail gate" option to an Odyssey that doesn't have one such as a Touring or EX-L model? I've read you can and the part is available OEM through Honda for about $350 and labor to install it at the dealer is about $200? can you confirm if this is possible? Thank you!
