@doctorkdsify Год назад

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 Год назад

@@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.

Wonder if a wreck was the real cause of that door not opening. I work at a dealership and we have a 2018 civic on the lot just like that one and if the battery is dead you can’t unlock the door with the key. Got it open with the pink lady, replaced the battery and it worked. Haven’t had issues with the door since.

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

@seanb3516 Год назад

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 Год назад

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.

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.

No one is going to leave their car windows open all the time. That would only apply when you go off for a casual drive and can see the car. Any other time would invite thieves to break in. A mechanical lock is what is needed. I won't buy another car if the lock is electronic.

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.
