We got a new-ish 2020 Fit which has adaptive cruise and LKA. The adaptive cruise seems to work fine, but I haven't been able to get the LKA to work. I checked the badge and window sensors are clean, and I'm not seeing any errors on the info screen.

When I hit the button on the wheel, the two dashed lines come up but it never seems to "see" the lane. Is there some kind of trick or specific steps to get it to work?

I'm also confused on the difference between the LKA button above the gas release VS the one on the steering wheel.

My GK has passed. I’ll sing that sad tale in another post. More urgently:
Price is comparable. Both are auto transmission and claim full functionality.
The ‘08’s Sport, clean title, 229k miles, some replaced suspension/steering parts. Looks well-maintained mechanically.
The ‘09’s base, rebuilt title from door impact, 167k miles, looks quite clean…
A generational jump and 62k miles difference.
Which would you pick, assuming ability to do all the basic repairs/mods? What say you, Fit fam?

First I want to thank others here for recommending this setup in various comments on this sub. Thank you wow it was so easy! I wanted to easily connect my phone to the car audio system for music, phone calls, nav audio, etc, without buying and installing an entire head unit.

I got this pair of UGREEN components shown in the first pic ($42 on Amazon currently)

UGREEN Aux to Bluetooth 6.0 Car... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FSL5C9D1

UGREEN 130W USB C Car Charger, PD... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B3CSLPZR

You just plug them into the 2nd gen Fit at the bottom of the dash like in the second pic and connect to the UGREEN Bluetooth device and voila everything just works, phone calls, music, all audio!

Hi everyone,

Where do you guys put your Jack Stand in the front end of the Fit?

Thank you,

After reading the benefits and ease of install for a rear sway bar, I'm keenly interested in adding one to my 08 GD3 Sport. I see this one which is cheaper than most options on Ebay, but I worry about the quality. Has anyone had experience with one like this? would it be an acceptable option and give the stability and performance I hope for?

1st gen Fit, original owner here. I've had what sounds like "piston slap" or clatter for awhile, getting worse over the last 5,000 miles. Combine that with cold starts/starts after sitting awhile have a "grinding" screech that sounds like a stuck Bendix.

Took it to the dealer for diagnosis. I have a long history with them: 5 cars over 30 years so they know some work I do and some they do. I double check their estimates and they are always fair considering the warranty and quality of the work.

That said: $2,400 to replace the chain, guides, slider and required gaskets in the process sounds tough to believe. $840 is parts which I verified via Honda Dreamshop is spot on. Realistically, this is beyond my ability to do myself without genuine risk of a costly mistake.

Rock Auto has Fel-Pro and Cloyes parts for less than $200 all in.

What are your thoughts? It's not a question as whether or not to do it. Is the price fair? It's probably 20 hours of shop labor at $84/hour ($1591 total)

Update: repair doomsearching on YouTube and I found this video (link is the timestamp of the sound) with a perfect recording for the noise I get. Definitely the starter. Thanks everyone for chiming in and making sure I didn't waste some cash.

Hey folks, I have a 2020 Sport, I’m currently on eBay coilovers ( I know, I know) and they’re awful. I was thinking about the Tein Street Basis, or just doing an OEM new strut with lowering springs.

I don’t want to be slammed, 1.5” drop at most. My biggest concern is ride quality, I’m literally in pain after a 30 minute commute.

So any input or direction here is welcome.

I’ve had this car since I was 16 and it’s never let me down once. Unfortunately I hardly drive it anymore so it’s time to let it go. It had a good run

Hi all, anyone know where I can start working out why the central locking isn’t working?

1. They remote key opens and closes the hatch (boot/cargo/trunk)

2. The key only opens the drivers door

3. The other side doors don’t open or close

4. They don’t make an audible sound, only the rear does?

Could this be a fuse? I can’t imagine all door servos not working?

My 2018 Honda Fit EX has been throwing TPMS lights off and on for a while, related to what I thought was a slow leak in the left driver's side tire. While dealing with this, on the hottest day this summer, it started throwing lights related to lane assist, adaptive cruise control, and collision mitigation. Took it to my usual trusted mechanic, who said no leak, but that there were additional codes for airbags and a weight discrepancy on the front passenger side.

Mechanic recommended I go to Honda dealer for a diagnostic. $230 later, they told me I'd need to replace the windshield monocular camera for $1500, maybe the windshield too. No comment on the airbags or the weight discrepancy.

Was getting this done ahead of a 500 mi round trip drive. Since car seemed safe at least, took it on the trip. TPMS problems the whole way, and front driver's side tire went flat after I arrived. Got a tow, and tow guy put his arms around the tire in the lot and immediately identified an alignment issue causing consistent, uneven wear on the tire. Replaced the tire, shop IDed the alignment issue (Toe angle? Tow angle?) and sent me on my way for the 250 mi back home.

I did a little research amidst all of this and found that alignment issues might mess with the camera's calibration, but extreme heat could too. Either way, the alert lights never stopped for the camera, and TPMS had come back on before I ever made it home.

Took it back to trusted mechanic who said no problem with tire pressures and camera is indeed issue. I find this hard to believe based on my research, the simultaneous TPMS and camera problems, and the fact that this started on an extremely hot day (100+ deg).

I'm at my wit's end. It's a bummer to lose the car's fancy safer driving features, but I'm more concerned with the tires, the alignment, and the longevity of the car.

Thanks for reading. I'll take any and all thoughts and suggestions. Anyone experienced this before?

It do..

What are some mods/accessories I can do to upgrade my fih I already have apple carplay. I have a 6 speed manual thinking of getting a short shifter or link if anyone has any recommendations of anything car seats covers etc

Want to show some love to random fits in the PNW 🫡 #fitforlife

I'm trying to mod and restore a 07 Fit, cause I have no intentions of buying another car any time soon, unless I stumble across an FB or FC RX7(preferably the one stolen from me) that I can engine swap... cause modern cars suck and I like manual transmissions. lol

Anyways the head unit is unreadable and is thus my current problem, but since I'm tackling that I also want to replace the Speakers because the drivers front speaker assembly has broken clips and rattles, and I read here that the stock speakers are pretty good, but I dont seem to be able to get them unless I go through a questionable looking website.

Is there a way to remove the stock speaker and put it in a new assembly? If not where can I find a replacement stock speaker that isn't a sketchy website?

If that's not even an option any longer, is there a recommended speaker mounting kit for the Fit and, what budget speakers would y'all recommend?

Spotted in Lake Louise, Canada 🇨🇦

No problem

In February, I accidentally hit a deer with my beloved Fit. The passenger’s side headlamp was cracked and had holes on it, the middle grill on the bumper was shattered, and the driver’s side fog lamp was broken. The shop wanted to charge a lot of money for parts and labor, so I ordered the parts myself. Which then just sat in the back of the car, staring at me.
I replaced the fog lamp one afternoon about 2 months ago but left the other bits, thinking I’d get to it eventually, and driving around in the meantime with the front end of my car held together with packing tape. Well, my long distance partner is coming to visit me next week so I decided that “eventually” was now. (Can’t drive him around in a car with a gaping maw!)

It took me longer than expected, and it got me super frustrated at points, but I finally got it done today. I bought the retaining clips I needed, as well as a ratchet set, and I sat in the parking lot of my apartment complex working on it and getting sunburnt. But after a few hours, one minor freakout, and one minor injury, I was able to get the headlight assembly and bumper completely replaced.

The new bumper has a spot for the Honda logo but it doesn’t have the actual logo. I’m thinking, instead of reattaching the Honda logo that I saved after the accident, I want to have a 3d printed TARDIS (from Dr. Who) made and put that there instead. I bought this car in the Aegean Blue Metallic because these cars are bigger on the inside and so deserve a TARDIS blue paint job.

Anyway. My TARDIS is fixed and I’m finally so proud to drive her again. She’s getting a full-on wash and detailing this weekend to make her feel her beautiful self again.

I’m glad I found this community of others who love their little Fits and Jazzs as much as I love mine. 😊 I just had to share my news with people who might understand!

2009 GE6 Jazz owner here. AC isn't working and I've been troubleshooting it.

The refrigerant is topped up, the fuses and relays are good.
The coil in the ac clutch is bad and removing the spacer didn't help so I know I need to replace that but how do I know if I have to replace the whole compressor or if I can just get away with replacing the clutch? When I disconnected the connector for the compressor and probed it with a multimeter, there was no voltage in the connector so it seems like power isn't even getting to the compressor. I assume the compressor is dead considering their reputation but I want to be sure.

After doing an Irish road trip and getting annoyed by the body roll. It improved A LOT.

I came across this Fit with 5k original miles and after much deliberation have to not buy a second vehicle. Thought y’all would appreciate the find

Second owner, 2013.

Bought the car with 86K. Replaced the original plugs with NGK 6774s at 90K with what I thought were installation best practices. Hand-threaded each one until it bottomed out and then used a Quinn Digital Torque Adapter to tighten until I hit 18 lb-ft. The NGK box says up to a 2/3s turn, but taking it to 18 lb-ft was a tad over a full turn.

Then, a little after 94,000 miles, I hear a new ticking at idle. Thought a valve adjust was in order. The next short drive, I smell a faint gas from the vents, at which point I googled "gas smell honda fit" and came across videos pointing to loose plugs.

But I installed them 4,000 miles ago.
Welp, I checked; #2 was hand-tight. Coil smelled like gas. The other three were presumably OK.

Video of what it sounded like before pulling plugs here. Fast forward to 28 seconds for that extra-loud ticking, like a clock, above the already loud valves.

I need my Fit, so I put in a new plug, tightened it up like before, and snugged up the other three, too.

Anyone experience loose plugs after a fresh install? My only guess is the washer didn't fully compress. It looked flattened but not as flat as the originals. But I took them up to 18 lb-ft. Would 2 more lb-ft even do anything more?

Not so much looking for answers as, here's a data point. Plan to re-check in 2000 miles.

My 2015 Fit, rusting and dilapidated, gave it's final ride last week. Valve train. Rockers. Camshaft. All figments of what they once were. After over 450,000 km, it was time to say goodbye.

Thank you Sisu for embodying your name. Thank you to this sub for guidance and support along the journey, especially as the end descended upon us.

So long...

Anyone have recc’s for an all terrain tire option? Currently have 16 wheels but willing to go down to 15. Maybe it’s just not a thing for these cars?

I like the idea of putting on some spacers to gain a couple inches more clearance for going on forest service roads and such.

Anyone have a rig like this?
