HI karlak, those are VIN numbers. You should be able to find it on the pre-delivery inspection list for cars and other documents from your car dealer

Hope this helps...

Cheers, LOL - I actually meant "how did Pottsy find out that they had diasbled the feature"

ooppsss.....

Silly me

The only reason i can see that they would remove the function would be that the doors dont unlock in an accident, Not a theory i am willing to test,

 

[generationgav]

Do you think that it'll be removed if they flash the s/w of an 06 car during the service?

 

[basegreen]

I would imagine so if they do reflash.

I thought about that too, but as the doors can all be locked from the driver's door controls, it doesn't seem likely (though like you I'm not keen to find out for sure!).

 

[basegreen]

Just something to bear in mind for those setting it.

No. The software for the door unlocking is not in the ECU, so it's with your car for life!

So the moral of that story is don't listen to me

Sometimes; I do wonder if you don't work for Honda!

Maybe you are really Mr. Honda and when you say you fly it's just your personal Jet.

I wish! No, just chat to lots of interesting people.

finally done this, took me a while to stop locking manually, nothing special but a really useful feature.

Unfortunately, this will only work for 2006 models. If you get a 2007, then it has been deleted from the software.

How do you know which model year you have?

- 2006 : SHHFK37606U000258
- 2007 : SHHFK37607U000258

The 2 bold digits show you.

Blergh [smilie=sadmeh-gb.g: I wanted that feature...

I took car to garage this morning to get HFT sorted. Had a noise coming from dash area - the guy from service came with me in car so could try and get noise to happen. Typical it didn't!

Anyway... as I drove off the locks automatically locked as per these instructions. The service guy said "Oh you've been on that website then?"

civinfo.com is definitely growing... Sounds like Honda dealerships around the country are all getting to know about this amazing site.

 

[basegreen]

They have ignored/not seen the directive to dealers about this then!

Being of the girly variety of civic drivers with my handbag by my side, security is something that often concerns me. Handbag snatchings or even car hijacking at traffic lights etc are becoming more common. This is fab!!! I've just enabled auto locking and unlocking and I love it. I share concerns about RTA's but I am torn between the two safety issues.

That hi-jacking thing is scary.

But think, your cars stops and engine switched off many times (.: auto unlock)

You don't crash (hopefully) many times and .: the auto unlock feature is not called for.

If the emergency services wished to enter your car after an accident, I don't think a locked door will stop them at all.

Auto lock for me and thee then.

Just 71 days til Christmas

Anyone else excited about that then?

Maybe I'll get that wiper I've always wanted.

[smilie=battingeyes: Good rationale Charles. It works for me.

Hello!

This is my 2nd Civic there in France... and I confirm what Pottsy said :

1st one was a 2006 and it worked perfectly...
My new one is a 2007 and it doesn't work anymore.... :-(
