Tried to play songs from a thumb drive

It says I can use a thumb drive vs. a CD. Hahaha! Oh sure! Went from "no device" to "unplayable files".
Apparently, you have to have the secret mumbo-jumbo to know what the bit rate HAS to be, length of file names, not to mention formatting (and do not think that windows tools will work).
What a load!
Anyway, Today I spent several hours discovering how 'antiquated' my 2019 fit is. Makes my feel young again (snark!)

Edit. OK! Got it working. Only cost me $40 for software. But it is working well!

I finally got the IM from RZCrew... Right now I'm using the OEM TB until i get the 61mm spacer done...
Definitely have to re-tune but there is some low end torque gain...

It's not just a button, it also contains all the electronics to communicate with the key fob.

My 2015 is "modern"! It has a CD player, and it can also play music from a USB drive.

Finally addressed the sagging front bumper. Looks nice having the bumper lines match up straight like the rest of the car. Also touched up the wheels with more hyperdip



Hyperdip of front grill. More intimidating looking with the blacked out wheels and rear trim.

Rear blacked out trim and "Fit" logo


Horn upgrade

Generic GK armrest covers from AliExpress. I am trying out different pads underneath until I find something that I like:

In the meantime, I removed the suede steering wheel cover with markers and installed my first all leather cover. I used the thicker yellow string from the previous setup until I get another cover:

Snowy chillin had a flat tyre on the left rear I did a tyre repair kit job seems to have fixed the issue. She's running good can't complain. Just the gear shift with CDV playing up in the cold early mornings but all good when warmed up. Also the torque dip and I plan to put a throttle booster kit. Might be getting an EK civic as a project as well.One Honda to two...

4 cameras - Honda Fit GK4 2019, Ukraine

I own my Honda Fit 2019 - GK4 for 1.5 year. In general, the Honda Fit/Jazz of this generation was not sold in Ukraine at all, so there are very few such cars here, mostly used cars imported from the USA and Europe. I should note that I have a rather rare car - a JDM, right-hand drive, but converted to a left-hand drive as required by the laws of my country. Main differences of my car from your american models I know about are all-wheel drive (AWD), so slightly better ground clearance (150mm), different radio, 1.3 indirect injection engine, ), LED exterior lights etc. Good trim with Honda Sensing, but there was no Lane Watch camera - it was not so important for a right-hand drive car. So, I wanted to install it by myself, as well as equip it with more cameras. Video Switcher with 4 input and additional cameras were purchased from AliExpress a long time ago, but winter and then the events in my country did not allow me to do it. And finally I did it some days ago. I think such modification is also possible on your cars, although the radio is different there. It should be taken into account that the power supply of the stock rear-view camera is 8 V, meanwhile the Chinese cameras work power 12 V. I found to place wireless remote control of device on the steering wheel is most convenient way.

Operating mode:

The front view and then right view automatically delays for a few seconds after start ACC.

The rear view is automatically displayed when the reverse gear is engaged.

After exiting the reverse gear, it automatically switches to the front view for a few seconds.

The device can detect the left and right turn of the car and switch to the corresponding video channel;

In the standby mode, press any remote control button - and the left-view, right-view, rear-view or front view will be open until the next time the button is pressed to close view.

Short video -
and fotos of result.

Over the weekend I installed the Ikon Motorsports RS replica spoiler on my 2018 EX. Install was pretty simple, with some wire and hose relocating, soldering the OEM connector to the new led brake light, 3M double stick tape, and a few threaded studs with locknuts. I also installed an interior "carbon fiber" cover kit to get rid of some of the silver paint.

Thanks! I'm still not sure. My wife thinks they won't really add anything to the car's look, but I'm keen to finish up the "EX -> Sport" conversion with skirts and a front lip. I keep going back and forth, to be honest...

Here's something I put together from an image I found online to help me decide:
