2024 Honda CR-V Tips and Tricks

[@cherylflbeachkat5186]

Just purchased this vehicle and was overwhelmed with its many abilities.. until I watched your videos! So very helpful! Thanks so much.

[@Joanna-A7227]

I just bought a 2025 CRV EX a week ago. All new to me. It’s easy for me to get overwhelmed reading the Manual. Need more how to.

[@gsingemunson8195]

We bought this unit yesterday (Feb 27, 2024). Your video is outstanding!!

[@dharmendrabhavsar]

Brand new owner here. First time I bought new honda crv 2025 and this tips is very helpful for me. Thank you so much

[@lynnweinberg2167]

I haven’t bought a new car in 13 years and I found myself very overwhelmed with all of the great features this car has to offer. This video was SO helpful, because you included examples of how certain features could be useful. I’m subscribed and looking forward to learning more about my new car! Thank you!

[@tom-macie]

Same here. 15 for us. Took a month to get it all set the way we liked. It is sweet now. Just love it.

[@patriciamarino1131]

Wish you could tell me how to pair my Honda CRV HYBRID 24 with my garage opener…totally frustrated! Thanks

[@Canadian_Chris]

Love the Brake Hold feature. It's been saving my knee fatigue since 2017. It's a feature like heated seats that once you have it, you look for it on your next car purchase

[@J972M]

Pro tip: if you're in a situation where you get out of your car and then you realize you forgot to roll the windows up, take out the physical key ( _see_ 15:16 ), insert into the keyhole and turn twice. Be sure to hold the key in place on the 2nd turn until your windows have reached the desired position

[@IMetLadyGaga]

My 18 plate Ford Kuga can use the fob to both open and close the windows. Global open/closure. If Ford has been doing it all these years, idk why other car manufacturers don’t take up the feature? 🤷‍♂️

[@J972M]

@@IMetLadyGaga It's an easy feature to forget about. That's from the manufacturer and the consumer. I really think that's all it boils down to.

[@hvonsus5725]

you’re amazing for this thank you

[@CMM_1212]

I feel like people always talk about the safety features either positively or negatively and there's no in between. People want them or they hate them. I'm so glad to know they have different settings so that I can benefit from them without them being overly obnoxious.

[@daniellegat34]

Best video by far! I’ve already watched at least 30 videos on features… i thought i knew it all but this video showed me so many helpful things. This should be the only video you watch.

Brand new Honda CR-V hybrid owner here, Thank you, thank you. great job Im at work going through some of the tips now lol

[@tomburgos3435]

Just brought a 2024 CRV. Had a 2017 previous CRV. I didn't know about lifting door handle to gain access to opening door with key if battery is dead. I understand you can still start car by just holding dead fob near or pressing the car's start button with key fob, it'll start car. I had it with my 2917 CRV. Assuming it also on the 2024 CRV. Haven't tried it yet. Thanks for showing all the cool features.

[@CynthiaONeil-i4z]

Just bought a new 2025 CRV-so many details to operate this car efficiently-like a plane! Thanks so much for the help.

Great video! Sometimes I don't read the manual for the CR-V for the features I need to know. I just purchased a new 2024 CR-V. Watching this video shows most of the features you want to know. I like this video that Justin is showing. Thank you!

[@FurballHacker]

Just got home from the dealer. Just bought me a new 2024 CR-V! Lovin it so far.

Great tips and tricks - keep them coming!! Here's one to share - I was going crazy trying to figure out how to increase / lower the GPS voice volume of Apple or Google Maps without lowering / raising the music. Finally figured out that if I waited until the GPS was giving me an instruction and at that moment hit the volume +/- button it would only impact the GPS volume.

[@ulivision]

Thank you - this one helped me

[@ralphmarrone3130]

This has been driving me crazy for 3 months! Thanks for posting this!

[@user-gq2vn1xj2r]

Thanks. This is a horrible design but glad to know this works.

[@NeilGolub]

Isn't that the process with most nav systems?

[@crzynut77]

I have a 2023 Hybrid and this works for me as well. The part you touch to unlock the door is on the inside of the handle. The 3 lines on the top right of the handle locks the doors. Also if you have programmed seat positions, the drivers seat will adjust to the seat position number that matches the number on 1 of the 2 remotes.

[@anneobrien2077]

Bravo! I’ve learned more here than at disappointing dealer. Thanks. This is a keeper. 1:40

Thank you creating this video, 3 day owner here. It was extremely helpful to me. Besides the specific tips, it also led me to other settings.

[@srs-bznss]

Great video. The tips are explained step-by-step but are still demonstrated quickly. The chapters help users navigate between tips. I also appreciate the context behind why you might want to set a setting a certain way.

[@1hjehje]

An excellent video ... Thank you!. I have a 2009 CR-V and I hope to soon have my new Honda Pilot. The technology has changed a great deal so videos such as this are really helpful.

[@chaillepearson2540]

Thank you! You explained WAY more than my salesman ever did. Will save this video for future needs!!!

[@TR4zest]

I have a 2019 Hybrid. You didn't mention this so maybe the 2024 doesn't have it? Tap the ribbed spot on the top of either front door handle and the car locks. Tap it again and the side mirrors fold in. You could add turning on/off the proximity features/parking aids. Sometimes helpful, sometimes annoying.

[@chanettalotts2894]

Thanks for the tips! I didn’t know I could start my car with the remote. Makes it so much easier to warm my car in the morning.

[@vishnuvt5bridgelalsingh469]

Nice list man. Could you do one to explain how use the paddle shifters to control regen braking. Also, what is the difference between using the paddle shifters and B mode? Do you not need to use the paddle shifters in B mode? I find this is not clearly explained anywhere.

[@one_hoop]

My understanding is that in D mode, the regen braking resets after you come to a stop (or hit the brake?). When in B mode, it will maintain whatever regen braking level you have set. You would use it when you are approaching a stoplight that will be red by the time you get there, so you don't want to stop yet, but you want to maximize the recaptured energy, or possibly time it so it turns green by the time you get there. It has multiple levels so that you can take into account how far away you'll need to stop and if there is traffic behind you. Have you been able to test drive one?

[@briq4409]

Just a note… Whenever you press the brake pedal the first thing that happens is always regenerative braking until you get past a certain threshold of brake force. So putting it in B mode, all it does is make that regenerative braking start before you press the brake pedal. So you won’t get any more battery charge using B mode then you would just pressing the brake. The friction brakes only come into play when you are trying to decelerate the car more than what regenerative braking can provide. And like one hoop said above when you’re in D the paddle shifters reset after a certain amount of time to off. In B mode, they stay where you leave them only exception is it never stays at level four it always reverts to three when you turn the car off and start again. One last thing, when you are in B mode, the brake lights never illuminate until you physically press the brake pedal.

I'm so glad I ran across your channel and saw this because we have a 2020 honda Accord and a 2024 honda HRV I knew the HRV had some features, but never did I know the accord had the same cool features

Would love a newbie explanation on how the engine(s) work, the different ways regenerative braking occurs, best mode to use in different circumstances, using the paddles, etc. Thanks.

Very cool list, thanks! Happen to know any trick to get a less cluttered view in the infotainment for the home screen? While driving without the desire to be entertained, I just don't like seeing all the options in the home screen and would prefer to just see the clock for instance. In other vehicles, something like that actually is the home screen but seemingly not for the CR-V. Is it just that I'm stuck with turning the display off?

Hey Justin, this is the first video I’ve seen of yours about the 2024 CRV and I really appreciate everything you had to offer I wish all videos were this and informational and got to the point this efficiently Great quality, great dialogue thank you! I had one question about wireless CarPlay and the AI adaptor you mentioned. There seem to be many on the market, including the one you have linked in your comments. I’m in Canada, so I can probably find these cheaper with Canadian dollars I can link diversion in US dollars But I’m trying to figure out how do I know it’s for my car, a 2024 CRv hybrid touring Some say, they require a wired CarPlay, others seem to convert wired CarPlay to wireless, and then there’s the one you have which I’m not exactly sure is designed for wireless CarPlay, does both, or something else? But it’s very cool and very affordable, so I’d like to try it

[@JustinFullerReviews]

So there are some boxes that simply make your wired car play wireless. Those are usually pretty cheap. But that's all they do. There are then other boxes, like the one I show. It does require carplay to exist, but it essentially converts your head unit into a tablet. For the one I was discussing, I believe they will provide you a list of vehicles it works with. If not, you can email and ask.

[@markg6605]

I loved the video and am now subscribed. I am interested in getting the 2025 Sport Touring trim. I haven't been able to take a test drive yet. I have a few questions: (1) Are there specific controls when using the heated front seats? I was reading that when you turn the car on it will automatically turn on the heat using the last heat setting....but not at the "highest level". Also, that it has a regulator that will turn down the heat if it gets too hot. Is this all true? (2) I guess the same question when using the A/C... will it automatically turn on the A/C from the last setting...so if you use remote start, it will cool off the car before you get in it? (3) In my current car, when using Navigation, I can hardly hear the instructions while I have the radio on. Is there some special setting in the CRV to make the instructions louder? (4) My current car's Navigation still uses "old highway exit numbers for some Massachusetts roads. It's some sort of software issue. Does the CRV system show the new exit numbers? Thanks.

Is there a way to dedicate which device is selected for each key fob?

[@barbaraselby687]

Hi. Please do a video on the 2025 Honda CRV EXL settings (set up car play, Bluetooth, automatic seat adjustments) & just how to get started on all the dashboard information, all the features on the infotainment. Thanks.

[@kathleeneakins9712]

Thank you for the tips. I do have a question that I get different answers on. When I bought my 2024 Hybrid CRV I was told( by the salesman) that the B on the shifter was to help charge the battery faster and that I should use it when driving in stop and go traffic. Then I asked someone else at the dealership they said to use it while going downhill (lower gear). If that is correct why would there also be a downhill button in the car?

[@JustinFullerReviews]

So it's actually a combination of both. When you shift to b, it's increasing the regenerative braking which builds the charge up for your car. It can also be used for engine braking. The example being driving down a large hill. Instead of riding your brakes down and burning them up, you could put it in b mode and allow it to slow the car down, and build a charge.
