LaneWatch Alignment - Getting it Done Today

I'd like to know what you see when you LaneWatch camera turns on. After a Honda tech adjusted it last week, I see the front door handle on the passenger's side, and the indicator lines are in my lane. I'm waiting for them to give me an argument about this.

I brought the car to them when the LW camera malfunctioned for the 22nd time. She said it was working fine, but she "adjusted" it. Bad decision.

I see both door handles on the passenger side on my display.

Do you see the lane to the right of you, and are the marker lines in the right lane?

I tried it in the parking lot, so no lanes. I'll have to take another look when I'm out on the road.

Thanks. I checked my son's car, and his is the way mine used to be - a good view of the right lane.

2016 EX, see the door handles and the markers are along the lane line and lane. It seems fine that way as I can see a car next to me. Maybe I can take a pic

My LaneWatch indicator lines are in the lane to the right of my car, but just barely.

Well, I wasted an hour of my life at the dealer yesterday. I could see that the tech had set up 3' X 4' target to the right of the car and was inside - doing something. When the job was "finished," the service guy told me that there is no adjustment possible, even though they said last week that they adjusted it. The reference lines are still in my lane, with the last one almost behind my car. I guess I'll just have to live with it.

If you Google 'Honda LaneWatch', you get many pictures like this:



The image above is from the Honda Ownerlink so I would assume that this is the way it's supposed to be set up.

I'd return to the dealer and say "I want it like THAT."

that's about how mine looks, it may be slightly more toward the car but not much

Who on here inadvertently deleted and then set up his Lanewatch? Someone did. Lanewatch is certainly adjustable.
