I have the same type r …. man is it a beautiful sweet ride , everything about is just perfect

[@daschyt2225]

Brilliant video - thank you. In Australia, I am able to raise the windows by pressing and holding the ‘lock’ button on the key fob. Works perfectly.

[@pineappleguy1757]

Thank you, this is awesome to know ❤

[@dianadelvalle3780]

Thank you. That was very informative.

[@AngelsMindsetPR]

Great video!

[@policeh956]

Great video, Thanks for the info!!!!!!!

[@eddiemcars]

Glad it helped!

[@trancethan]

Great video. Best advice I got because my infotainment kept locking up was to let it boot up fully before plugging your phone in. At least to that screen where you have to agree. Ive not had an issue since.

[@eddiemcars]

That’s great advice! Thanks for sharing!

Wish you weren’t selling your FK8

One feature I found is you can temporarily disable walk-away auto lock by opening the rear door hold the key fob over the rear hatch and then closing the rear door. You won't get a beep and the car won't lock when you walkaway unless you come back and open a door and close it again.

[@chynoproductions438]

You can raise your windows by inserting your key into the key slot on the door and holding it to the lock position

[@luiscruz4839]

Also you can lock the windows with the actual key from the handle

[@spartacus2point017]

On my 2018 USDM I can roll the windows up with the key slot in the door handle. Same procedure just key turns instead of button presses.

[@rico3549]

With my 2018 European model I can roll my windows back up by pressing and holding the lock button on the remote

[@jamessonsini]

Underneath the rear bumper right next to the 3 tips exhaust there is a hard point for a car jack to lift up the car from the rear

[@eddiemcars]

Thanks!

[@chronicwizdom8638]

The new type r’s jus don’t hit the same anymore for me. I could’ve bought a brand new one but opted for a 2018 cause they jus look soooo much better imo

[@diamondsinthedirt489]

❤️

[@arielyanay2454]

Anyway to make the mirrors fold automatically when the auto lock is on?

[@eddiemcars]

The us spec doesn’t have power folding mirrors

[@Alex05218]

Only GT version has it, when car is locked hold the lock button for 2 sec

[@urmummaisnumber1]

Windows can also go up if you hold the lock button and all 4 windows go up. No need to close them manually in the car. As I have 2017 FK8 =]

[@eddiemcars]

I tried it but it doesn’t work. Is your car a US Spec?

[@urmummaisnumber1]

@Eddie M Cars oh ooops didn't think about country spec. I'm in Australia =] sorry about that. If it wasn't for this video I wouldn't have known about the windows going down with the key fob. Cheers for making the video

[@ShadowGamer19]

u can roll them back up with the physical key 2:18

[@marcosborrell422]

How dark are your tints? they look good.

[@eddiemcars]

15% everything 70% windshield

@@eddiemcars I might do that. NC sun is no joke during summer months. Thank you

[@robertohernandez4063]

Any tips on how to start your car and walk away to get your car warmed up on a cold day?

[@eddiemcars]

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, the Civic won’t lock from the outside when the engine is on.

[@robertohernandez4063]

@@eddiemcars oh dang will the car shut off if you walk away too far or for too long?

[@urmummaisnumber1]

​@Eddie M Cars you can lock the car when the engine is on. Take the key out from the key fob and insert key into car door and lock it manually. So engine is on and door is locked and no one can get in. To unlock do the same process. Can't lock the door with the key fob button.

[@robertohernandez4063]

@@urmummaisnumber1 nice thanks

[@blazindominican]

Not sure where your located but I've installed countless remote starts on FK8s being an fk8 owner myself.

[@taklebury]

Push the lock button a second time to fold the mirrors, break hold will release itself on a very steep incline.

[@raymondamoroso2049]

Folding mirrors are a thing on these cars? Really?

[@puppyjuggyy]

They fold manually

[@taklebury]

@@puppyjuggyy I guess the American market builders didn't get the memo. 😂

[@kangzta1]

Sad you're giving up the type R, but seems like you had fun with it while you had it. Wonder what will be next. EV? Since you have the m3 still? 🤔

[@eddiemcars]

Yeah. Still thinking about the EV. Type R sold last week! I’m not going to lie, I’ve been having regrets

[@JNPhotography]

Lot of these don’t apply to pre-2020 model 😢 (or at least in the RHD version)

[@Alex05218]

Depends on model, GT or non GT version

[@JNPhotography]

@@Alex05218 I have GT and still don’t have a lot of it 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Alex05218]

U must have, or its removed for your region i guess

[@g0d182]

2:26 I always wondered why my fk8 and fk7 can roll windows down via remote, but can't go back up. (Though with with fk7** it can be rolled up from outside the car by placing the key fab key section inside the door directly and turning) The xgen accord can go both up and down using remote key fab kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKepZIRnjadsjKs

[@daschyt2225]

No idea if this is an Australian thing, but I am able to roll all the windows back up by doing the same thing using the 'lock' button on the remote. Works perfectly.

[@eddiemcars]

United States sees it as safety a risk. The only vehicle from the factory that can do that is the Tesla but I hard rumors they have to remove that with their latest update due to NTHSA regulations.

[@g0d182]

[@superflyguy4488]

The rev2 fk8 can put up all windows as well as lower via the key fob

[@joshbasarab6869]

LKAS in Honda is great, but here's my issue... If you have it on, and don't sometimes move the wheel it will indeed turn itself off. That's how they designed it, so that you don't do something stupid like the whole Tesla thing did. HOWEVER... If for some reason you do not see that it's going to turn off, it just lets you go. The safety feature of this maybe should just turn off? Should maybe slow the car? I've had 3 hondas with LKAS and thought about that every time. I don't use it on my Type R because driving is the whole point in this car.

[@eddiemcars]

I keep my hand on the wheel for most of the time. Only occasionally both with come off but temporarily. Like most systems, the paint on the roads can confuse it

[@user-jf6xn8xx2h]

its so dumb that you cant put the windows back up with the fob. That would be so boujie!! btw, you don't have to hold down the highbeam switch to turn on auto high beam just flick it once and it will turn on auto, flick again to turn off :)

[@superflyguy4488]

My windows will all rise if I hold the lock button

[@didafm]

Get a 2020 Lexus GS-F

[@hartmutthomas989]

ja , seien sie froh das sie noch einen FK8 erwischt haben . Den wird es so nicht mehr geben .

Non of these are hidden features LOL
