HONDA CIVIC 2024 OVERVIEW 

a

It's an overview of 2024 Honda Civic

to share you some tips and tricks so you

don't own this thing for a year only to

go damn I didn't even know it could do

that so let's hop on it all right so

Smarty Entry Options

this first TI or trick is going to be

related to the key fob and your doors so

this car is set up with smart key entry.

When you touch the door

inside of a sport TR model 

if you're in like a sport model or the

LX Bas model you're going to have to

change the settings not from here but

over in the dash behind the

steering wheel. 

The first one so you can understand as

we go through these tips and tricks
you'll understand so for the sake of
this we're going to come in here and
we're going to go to vehicle settings.
You'll understand you can get to the
same settings you're just going to have
to do it differently from using the
touchcreen to over here. 
By using the home button to search and
to scroll around to find the setting. 
We want to select
door unlock mode right so exact same
setting options we're just choosing them
not from a touchcreen right now you can
see it's set to Door uh driver door only
all I'm going to do is I'm going to
change that to all doors and now when I
touch my hand on my door it'll unlock
all the doors to the vehicle all right
guys so this next tip or trick is be
Walk Away Auto Lock
when you're getting out of the car. 

I can get close enough to
you know hit the alarm and make sure it
locked the doors right well what if I
told you you could sit up to where if
you have the key with you and you get 10
ft from the car it can automatically
lock the doors let me show you how to
set that up so the first thing we're
going to go on and do is go into vehicle
settings now once you're under vehicle
settings we want to go to Door and
Window setup now under Door and Window
setup you're going to scroll down and
find walkway autolock the default in
this car is for it to always be turned
off I don't know why it doesn't make
sense it's a great feature you're going
to want to turn this on once you've
turned this on now when you leave the
car if you have the keys with you and
you get more than 10 ft away it'll
automatically lock the doors now over
Auto Window Roll Down
the last few years that I've been doing
this this next feature is one that I've
probably gotten some of the most
comments related to it creates a lot of
controversy did you know that with your
key fob if you press the unlock button
and then press it one more time and hold
it'll actually roll down your windows
for you and roll your moon roof down if
you've got one now that's great and all
but what if it's looking like today and
there's potential thunderstorm and I lay
on it on my couch I can open this up and
potentially flood my car the question is
can you turn this feature off and the
answer is yes all right guys so to get
this feature we're going to come across
and go into vehicle settings now once
we're in vehicle settings we want to go
into Door and Window setup now from Door
and Window setup you're going to scroll
all the way to the very bottom and
you're going to see remote Window
Control from there you'll be able to
scroll down and you can turn this
feature off if you do you'll no longer
be able to use that key fob to roll the
windows down which you may be able to
take advantage if you feel in a hot area
but more than likely you might be
concerned about this this is how you
turn it off all right guys so quick
The Magic Funnel

question have you ever ran out of gas in
your car it happens I've done done it a
couple times a couple years ago I did it
it's embarrassing but it does happen so
I want to talk about that for a second
if you come back here the first thing I
want to let you know is that the door
locks affect this gas door now right so
just good to know you unlock the doors
so you're not going to find that pull
tab in there but secondarily you're
going to know that this has a valve on
it now right so unless you're sticking
like your typical things in there to you
know put gas into it I need a way to be
able to hold this open if I ran out of
gas and I'm in an emergency need to hold
that open to be able to pour gas into it
well let me show you how to do that if
you come around to the trunk right
you're going to open this up and you're
going to get down beneath here where the
spare lives well it turns out there is a
funnel right here and what this funnel
is designed for is to be able to hold
this open to where in an emergency if
you needed to use a water bottle or
whatever you had to put gas in your car
you would be able to all right guys so
this next one's going to be for my cold
The Hidden Gas Door Release
climate people right sometimes this can
get Frozen and stuck and you can't get
it open and that becomes a problem right
and you can pour hot water on it and go
that route but there is a way to be able
to pop this open let me show you where
to go to do that so if you come into the
back of the trunk and you look up in
this back corner there is a wire that
you can pull right here if you pull this
it actually will pop this to be able to
release it for you so these next couple
tips and tricks are going to be related
Android Auto & Apple CarPlay Tricks
to Android auto and Apple carplay so for
the sake of this I'm using a Google
pixel so I am an Android User I am that
dreaded colored bubble that you see in
your group test it messes everything up
but nonetheless all these tips and
tricks will work the same so let's hop
on in and show you a couple cool things
that you can do all right so this first
Customize the Carplay & Android Auto Layout
tier trick is going to be related to the
layout that you see initially on the
screen understand that you can move the
map over there and your audio and
different things over here so understand
that this is adjustable to do so we're
going to jump in here and we're going to
scroll down to the settings now when we
get to settings we're going to have to
scroll down a little bit here and as you
get down here you're going to see change
layout when you get to change layout you
can move it from navigation closer to
drivers which I have a set to to Media
closer to driver when I do that now when
I jump back you're going to notice my
media access is here so Spotify and then
my maps have moved over to the right
side this next tip or trick I want to

show you is going to be related to just
Customize the Carplay & Android Auto Background
your background right here did you know
that you have custom backgrounds you can
change it to to get to it super simple
jump back into settings when you get to
settings we're going to scroll down and
there's actually a wallpaper you choose
wallpaper and there's all these
different options that they've given you
so I can check wind if I wanted it
necessarily so cool I like that one it
looks nice so when I jump out and jump
back in you'll see that now my
background is changed so for these next
Custom Actions in Carplay & Android Auto
two tips or tricks I want to show you a
couple really cool things and that's
going to be some of the actions that you
can create so I have this set up right
here to where I can automatically call a
phone number right so if I click this
it'll start dialing my phone number
right so really cool that it'll do this
for me so I can take advantage of that
now the second part is going to be
custom actions you can set up a custom
action to where it'll take you to a
specific place or do something for you
so this way I don't have to hit the
voice command and then ask it to give me
directions to a place so all I've got to
do is touch gas stations here and then
it's going to pull up fill in the prompt
for me and direct me to that nearest gas
station super helpful so if you like
finding the near Starbucks cuz maybe
you're filling basic and you want that
latte that you absolutely love when it's
pumpkin spice month right or whatever
the case may be know that you can take
advantage of this so to set these up we
are going to scroll down to the very
bottom and you're going to see customize
you're going to jump into customize now
what that's going to do is it's going to
launch the app basically right so you
can see on here a couple things first
you can see my very first one that I had
was Spotify and then my second one was
to call me right and then the second one
is directions to gas station now if you
want to create a new one you're going to
hit add shortcut to the launcher now
from here if it's calling a contact
super simple hit call contact go find
that person you want and select them
you're all done right now the second one
is hey if I want to create an action so
I'm going to go in here and go assistant
action now I need to add in the command
so let's say directions to nearest
Starbucks so now I've named it now the
second part to that or that's the
command I want to name it so maybe I
want to name this Starbucks right so now
I've got that set up now I can test this
action if I already know that it's going
to work I can go ahead and create the
action now when I do that it's typically
going to say hey you need to restart
this for it to to update but what I want
to do is I want to change the order
right so I want to take this action and
I want to drag it all the way up here to
the very top right so let's scroll up
some more here and get this up there so
that you can one understand I can create
the action in then two if I ever want to
adjust what's on the screen back here
how I can do that so now when we restart
this it should say Starbucks then
Spotify then calling me then gas station
so let's do that so I've unplugged and
plugged back in or you can turn the car
off and turn it back on now when I jump
into my menus you're going to see
Starbucks is my very first one so if I
click on it it's going to go ahead fill
in the prompt for me and start directing
me starbu minutes station by car in
moderate traffic you'll also see that
I've now changed the order which is
where you do that from that app right
you're going just go to customize so you
can see Starbucks is the first one now
Spotify then my custom call and then my
secondary custom action that I created
from the beginning now when it comes to
How to Watch Netflix in your Honda
Apple carplay and Android auto chances
are the app may be enough for you right
that may be enough for what your needs
are but there are the a few of us that
are like well could I ever get Netflix
to show up on the screen or tub or maybe
Amazon Prime you know I take a long road
trip maybe I'm not going to look at the
screen but I've got everyone else in the
car with me and it'd be cool if I could
just listen to standup comedy the rest
could watch it and we could take our
trip if it's Christmas time or whatever
the case may be now obviously you want
to be safe doing this but there are
tools out there that will help you so I
happen to own an AR carplay box what
this does is essentially turn your your
dashboard into a tablet so then you have
access to you know the play store or the
App Store whatever store you're using to
download any app that you want and be
able to take advantage of it so let me
just show you a quick preview of how
this works now when I'm using the AI
car play box you're going to notice that
 now this apple car play and I can
jump into it but when it loads this is
going to look completely different than
the standard Apple car play Android Auto
right so the first thing I always like
to point out is you're going to notice
that I've got certain apps that I've
downloaded like Hulu Netflix you know
TikTok all kinds of different things
that I can take advantage of in any
given time now understand how this works
this is going to work by connecting up
to a Hotpot so what I typically use you
could buy a SIM card for it if you
wanted I just run this to my phone's
hotspot once you have this connected up
to your Hotpot you're going to be able
to take advantage of all these apps now
I want to show you a couple things that
really sold me on this the first is when
I jump into certain apps it doesn't
limit what I can see like when you're in
Apple car play Android auto it kind of
affects the total view that you can see
on things like Spotify right and I want
to be able to view everything related to
it I want to see the discography I want
my music my podcast like I want the full
layout so that I can pull up a playlist
look inside of that playlist and see
multiple songs not just what's the next
song that's playing right so it really
unlocks the full potential of a lot of
apps now the second part to this let's
jump back home is going to be related to
using those apps that are streaming
services right so if I wanted to come
over and jump into Netflix it's cool
that I could be able to turn that on uh
and use it while I'm driving now
obviously disclaimer be safe don't be an
idiot about this but understand it's
cool to be able to take advantage of
right if we're taking a long road trip
and I just want to listen to something I
absolutely can right if I want to be
able to allow my kids to watch it in the
car while I'm driving they absolutely
could now be careful right you want to
make sure this is legal or you're taking
advantage of it in the right way so
understand that but you can see that I
can clearly stream these services and
it's not real choppy I don't struggle
with it it works just fine right

everything works as it should now the
second part to this is really cool so
I'm going to jump back out of this now I
can pull up and split screen things so
if I wanted to I could have WS pulled up
and then I could also jump in and have
uh something else running as well so you
know whatever that item may be right if
I wanted to jump over here and say yeah
I want Netflix running with it so now I
could be you know taking directions to
somewhere if I wanted so South Point you
know Dodge Jeep Ram or whatever right so
we're gonna we're going to start driving
there and be able to watch something on
the screen at the same time how cool is
that is that I can take advantage of two
different apps at the exact same time I
always ran into you know yeah you can
get your navigation and maybe your music
pulled up on Apple car player andent
Auto but this unlocks a different kind
of potential that you can take advantage
of so just something to be aware of it
unlocks the full potential it turns it
basically into what I would say is a
tablet right cuz now you have full
access to everything right so I really
like this understand this is not
something comes stand C you're going to
have to purchase this item uh if you're
interested in a deeper review on this or
you're interested in buying one
understand that there are some options
out there in the description of this
video and I'll put the link up so you
can see more if you want to check out
that review and then secondar down in
the description I'll put a link to it I
am an Affiliated there so I can save you
a couple bucks if you decide you wanted
to buy specifically from these guys but
understand there are a lot of options
out there in the world that do this same
Hidden car Door Entry
thing so this next TI or trick is going
to be related to if you have a dead
battery it kind of becomes a problem
when everything's powered right power
windows power locks power controls all
these things because L how do I get in
the doors to get my belongings out or
even worse how do I get in the trunk to
get my items out and the answer is you
absolutely can you just have to know how
so let me show you so the first thing
you're going to notice is there's no
Keyhole right here and I don't know that
I have a key I just have a key fob well
let's talk about that now on the key
there's a button over here on the side
if you press that button a key actually
doesn't exist inside of your key right
so this is the part that has to be in
the car for to start this is essentially
what we would call a valet key years ago
so as we talked about earlier you saw
and you're like well where am I going to
put the key in to unlock this well
that's where I want to point this out if
you flip this up you can actually see
underneath there's a spot that you can
put that key in to then be able to
unlock this door all right so part one
we've gotten the door open right you can
see I've got my belongings my tripod and
all that part two is I need to get back
to this second row right so to get to
the second row you're going to have to
do a little bit of work here because
you're going to have to reach back here
and kind of fumble around until you get
one you get it unlocked and then two you
should be able to pull the door handle
right to get the door to pop open so now
now we've gotten the second door open
now we need to talk about how do I get
into the trunk cuz that's power too if
you come into the second row you're
going to see that there is a little
square panel right here all right so
I've gotten this open once you get this
open there is a little hanger right here
that you're going to pull on older

models you just have to put the key in
and turn it on this one though you're
going to pull that when you do you're
going to notice that now my trunk is
open so if the car was dead I can get
into all the way into the back of the
car to get my belongings in case this is
where I put them to store them to be
safe with smart Keys If I left this in
Lockout Prevention Controls - How to lock a key in the car
the car and try to lock the doors you're
going to hear the car go to let you know
still in there and it's not going to
lock well there are rare occasions where
I want to be able to lock the keys in
the car right maybe I want to be able to
take you know the key apart right and I
want to be able to leave the fob in the
car and just take this piece because I'm
going to a river or somewhere where I
don't want to lose the whole thing or I
can't get this wet well if I have this
in the car the car won't lock I need a
way to be able to do that let me show
you how all right guys so we're going to
go into vehicle settings now once we're
under vehicle settings we want to go to
keyless access setup now from keyless
access setup at the very bottom down
here you may have to scroll a bit Noe
actually you're good uh you're going to
go to lockout prevention lockout
prevention is currently turned on
meaning that if the keys are in the car
you can't lock the doors to the car you
would want to turn this feature off now
it's going to allow you to be able to
lock that piece in the car so you can
take the valet piece or maybe you're
locking everything in the car cuz
someone's going to come by and get it
with the spare later on so lockout
prevention is what you want to take
The Fuel Efficiency Backlight
advantage of so when you're driving down
the road there's a fuel efficiency
backlight and what it will do is you'll
see it light up green and then it'll
Fade Out and it can be distracting for
some people now if you don't know what
it is let me explain that the fuel
efficiency backlight when it lights up
green is letting you know the way you're
driving is going to save you as far as
MPGs goes when it fades out it's letting
you know hey the way you're driving is
going to start affecting your gas
mileage in a negative way so it's kind
of an interactive way on the go to view
your MPGs and kind of make it uh work to
your advantage now some people could say
hey while I'm driving I don't really
need all that I don't want all that
going on I just want a nice clean
display back here can I turn that off
and the answer is absolutely you can let
me show you how so to turn this function
off what you're going to do is come over
here and go into vehicle settings now
once you're under vehicle settings meter
setup right here when you come down to
the very bottom here you're want to see
fuel efficiency backlight you can then
turn this feature off and that will turn
that green light that lights up back
here completely off so I want to talk to
Speed Sign Recognition AI controls
you about some safety features for a
second cuz I want you to understand a
couple things this car has quite a bit
of safety in it right that's typically
why people buy Hondas they're reliable
and they have safety now related to
safety there is a radar down in the
grill and a camera up above the rearview
mirror now these two are going to be
used for a couple different things the
first is going to be a frontal Collision
warning system and what that is is if
it's looking like I'm to rearing another
car it can provide me an an audible
alert flash in the dash and then
actually apply the brakes to help you
from rearing another car it uses those
same things on some of the other
features right so I want you to

a
understand there's a camera up top that
camera is used for Lan keep assist right
it'll pick up lines on the road and keep
you centered uh and if you're driving
off the shoulder of the road it'll also
pick that up and lert you say hey wake
up and it'll shake the the wheel right
well it also uses that camera to detect
um road signs right so speed signs so if
you come up in a work Zone it'll tell
you that the speed it'll drop it in the
dash cluster behind here and show it to
you well that's super cool right because
not only navigation won't always show
you that it'll show you what it should
be on that road but not if there's a
work zone now uh right it's not going to
know that um but maybe I don't look down
and I don't see that right I don't see
that the speed has changed I might want
an alert right and you can set up those
alerts where you get it at 3 miles if
you're driving over that speed limit or
five or even 10 because if you do travel
a lot for work or you travel for the
holidays you don't want to get caught in
a small town going 10 and 15 over you
know how this ends so to set this up
we're going to go into vehicle settings
now under vehicle settings we want
driver assist system setup now there's
going to be a couple things we want to
make sure are checked here so I'm going
to scroll down the first one is traffic
sign recognition system right we want to
make sure it's set to display now that
should be the default if you've never
touched it but just make sure that's set
to display now the second part to that
is we want to make sure this is turned
on this is going to enable you to get
those warnings so you're going to have
to turn that on right after you turn
that on back out one more now I'm going
to go down to speed limit warning
threshold this is where I can select
when I get those alerts so if I'm going
three over do I want the alert if I'm
going five or maybe it's like hey man I
don't really care but once I hit 10 over
I want it to beep in the car so that I
know that I'm speeding I go ahead and
select that and now I'll get those
alerts all right guys so this next

Remote Start - How to use and turn it off
feature I want to talk to you about is
related to your car and remote start
first off the car has remote start to
use it you always got to press that lock
button to make sure it's locked first
and then you'll press and hold this
little round half circle button if I
press and hold that for a couple seconds
you'll see the lights Flash and then the
car will actually crank on now that will
run for 10 minutes I can then extend it
if I need to for an additional 10
minutes but then the car will turn off
now if I accidentally started and wanted
to turn the vehicle off understand I
could press the unlock button and press
and hold this and turn the car off right
so just how I did now the idea of
remote start makes some people a little
bit uncomfortable but understand to use
remote start you had to lock the doors
and even when I get inside of the car
right I then have to have the key inside
the car press my foot on the brake press
the start button to acknowledge this is
in there for to fully turn on so even if
your remote started is somebody somehow
ran out you unlocked the doors and they
got in they still couldn't drive it off
because the key fob has to be in the car
but if all of that makes you
uncomfortable understand you can turn
the remote start off so if you want I
turn remote start off you're going to go
to vehicle settings then when you get
under vehicle settings keyless access

setup under keyless access setup you're
going to see remote start on off all you
got to do is simply select off and now
the car won't start when you use that
connection right that uh that sequence
on your key fob all right guys so these
Custom auto E-Brake setup
next couple features that I'm going to
show you are are going to be related to
in the car but the seat belt is going to
be key so remember that the first thing
I want to show you is is going to be
related to your e bra so if you have
your e brake on right and let's say the
car is off right so I've turned it on
I've got off of the car out of the car
and left when I get in the car if I go
ahead and crank up the car right if I
have my seat Bel on I don't have to
remember to turn this off right
everyone's got a car with the E bra on
it before like why won't the car drive
it's in drive right if you have your
seat belt on and you shift to drive take
your foot off and go to touch that gas
it'll automatically disengage the
parking brake for you now this next tip
Brake Hold - What is it? And how does it work?
or trick this is going to play a role as
well so I want to talk to you about
break hold Brake hold right here so if
you're not familiar with brake hold what
it is if I have the car in drive right
I've got my seat Bel on key and I'm
driving and I come to a complete stop I
com press the brake hold button when I
press it you're going to see brake hold
on there and then you're going to see
hold so now it's actively holding now
what that means is it's holding the
brake for me so I can let my foot so
you'll notice I don't have my foot on
the brake right now and the car is in
drive it's holding the brake for me but
when I touch the gas it's then going to
release that hole and we're going to
start moving forward and then when I
come to a complete stop again it will
then hold the brake again for me so I
can release my foot now this is super
good for like if you're in STO Ando
traffic if you're at a drive-thru you
know something of that nature right
where you got to gas break gas break gas
break right to save you a little bit of
fatigue now the catch is I have to have
my seat belt on now you may be saying
well if I get into drive to I can't
reach the window right whether it's a
bank whether it's food whatever the case
is what happens if I take my seat Bel
off well if you take your seat belt off
there's they've set up a function to
help you so I've got the car it's in
drive right it's holding for me but I go
ahead and take my seat belt off if I
take my seat belt off you'll notice it
immediately is going to turn the parking
brake on for me so that I don't
accidentally roll in to the car in front
of me and I can get whatever I was
getting at the drives through line or
whatever I was doing all right guys.
