Fitting a Dashcam to a CR-V
Hi Joe Bad luck about being hit before the dash cam is installed. Here is a link that should work https://www.drivn.co.uk/nextbase-dash-cam-hardwire-kit/

Headlights not working
Hi Craig....welcome to the Forum That is a very odd one, and probably best looked at by an auto-electrician if you have already checked everything through yourself. I cannot personally think of anything else to check if you have already gone through it all. Let us know what you find as would love to know what the problem was Cheers Trevor

Help
You don't need to remove the turbo as you run it through with it in situ. There are several different kits available so worth looking to see which one suits you best. Let us know how you get on with it

Fitting parrot
Hi Andy....welcome to the Forum Sorry, can't be of any help to you as it would be something quite specific that either someone who has fitted one in the past or someone who works in the car audio industry may be able to help you. Good to have you onboard Cheers . Trevor

Help
Hi Tom....welcome to the Forum I'm going to go for Turbo vanes gummed up as this is quite common with high carbon content within the engine/turbo blocking the movement of the variable turbo vanes. Would recommend a Turbo cleaning kit (available on eBay) to run through and see how that works. Additionally, if this cures it or even partially cures it then I would recommend a complete carbon clean out of the engine (Terraclean) or similar which would clear out the EGR, etc which could also affect the acceleration. The finally, an Italian tune up with good quality fuel always helps 🙂 Let us know how you get on with it all Cheers . Trevor

Battery problems with 2018 Honda CR-V
Not an ideal situation but at least for diagnostic purposes then it is what needs to be done. I would ensure that all lights (including boot light) are switched off and if it does go flat again then I'm sure they'll quickly find the fault

MIRROR
Try some glass glue (not superglue as when it hardens it can crack glass) or otherwise you used to be able to get mirror self adhesive pads (not sure is you can still get them) Try Halfords to see what they have in stock

Battery problems with 2018 Honda CR-V
Hi Berni Cannot believe that a 2018 Honda would actually be suffering from this type of fault. I also cannot believe it could be a short circuit or similar taking a drain.....except for the addition of a hard wired Dashcam possibly? I would be suspecting the battery (may have internal short circuit across the plates/bad cell) Let us know what it turns out to be Cheers Trevor

help with satnav please
Yep, seems about right...Honda are way behind with their SatNavs and on-board electronics (e.g. Voice Control, SatNav, etc) compared to other vehicle manufacturers. Shame, because the cars are awesome but they could do with enhancing their infotainment systems to come into the 21st century. Good luck with it all

help with satnav please
Hi Boris...welcome to the Club I think you'll find that the version you have is the latest one...I could only find a 2016 version to update mine as the latest one. It will mostly still work okay as I am currently running a 2007 version and it is fine in the UK as not much has occurred in the way of new motorways and A roads, however in Europe it is way outdated and would suggest using a SatNav (TomTom, etc) to navigate your route. Cheers, Trevor

Disabling Alarm on CRV 2016
Hi SimonUK...welcome to the Forum Do you have a screenshot photo of the page in the manual so that we can decipher the process of disarming the alarm (I assume you mean the ultra-sonics monitoring the interior) Cheers, Trevor

Warranty claims
I have to say that the technology used in Honda SatNavs and other onboard systems is way outdated compared to some other manufacturers....an area in which they could do with investing in.

Hi All
Hi willyh and welcome to the Club The CR-V is a superb car but I have to say, so is the Jag as well....definitely a lifestyle choice though. I love my CR-V for the pure reliability and available space inside and the comfort and..... Good to have you onboard Cheers, Trevor

Heater Motor Rheostat
Not sure if this is the same model version but generally the rheostat is located near to the motor (if not on top of it)

CRV 2007 DOOR MOLDING REMOVED
It sounds like it is broken and unable to refit if it has been ripped off....maybe Araldite or a similar adhesive would work

New 4x4 Terrible
GDMurray how are you finding the CR-V in everyday driving (e.g. non-snowing conditions)?

New 4x4 Terrible
Hi Gee I own a 2007 (3rd Generation) 2.2 diesel CR-V with manual gearbox. The Yokos are summer tyres with not a huge amount of tread left on them. In general, i think even if you put your foot down and it starts to slip and lose traction then the Traction Control System should kick in to cut the revs and give you back the traction. If you still have some snow it may be worth trying it again to see what happens....also check your tyre pressures are correct for the conditions. Cheers, Trevor
