First Service : 1 Month / 1,000 kms Second Service : 3 Months/ 5,000 kms Third Service : 6 Months/ 10,000 kms I am heading for Second Service in the First Week of May and I possibly would have completed approx. 4000kms. I did not go for the Oil Change in the First Service. Going by the performance of the car so far, I am thinking of the Oil Change only during the 3rd Service. There have been mixed opinions on the forum so far on this topic with people recommending either way. | |

![]() Please keep me updated on the kind of accessories you buy from 3rd party sources. Mainly, I need 3D mats, but I guess these haven't yet come out for the new City. | |

| ![]() Just took delivery of my VXMT Golden Brown. 3 months after booking and several emails to HONDA and calls to customer service! But super glad to have my hands on my OWN car. Accessories that I went with:
In terms of tyre, my car came fitted with Bridgestone. I know I have read so much about upgrading them. But I think I will just stick with them and upgrade when this one wears out. 2 things I really want to change though: 1. The Audio unit. Really annoying that they have not given a touch-screen with better UI unit. Will definitely consider swapping it with a touch screen one if I can get good rate for the replacement AND if it doesnt void my warranty! Anyone else researched on it? Maybe I should ask this in a different thread. (Also, has anyone else found the blinker red switch position really weird?! I mean I find it completely out of place! They could have used that space so much better!) ![]() 2. I plan to change is the setting in ORVMs where the ORVMs fold automatically when i lock the car. I remember reading somewhere its a small setting that service centre people can do. But my dealer told me its actually part of an accessory and he will have to check if its possible. Anyone got this done? |

Audio Unit - I'd done a research and found 'BLAUPUNKT San Diego 530' a good one. It supports all the steering controls, reverse camera, Bluetooth etc. Comes with a 6.2 inch touch screen with navigation and you will be able to play DVD videos. The panel has to be changed which will cost 6500/- The unit costs 30990/-. Speakers will cost extra. Could you please tell why do you exactly want to change the ORVM auto fold settings?

I think automatic closing OVRMs would be useful. If left open, its always a risk that some vehicle may scrape the protruding mirrors. I always remember to close the mirrors when I park the vehicle but as Anjain pointed out this is an additional manual step which could possibly be linked to locking of the car itself. Do let us know if you find out options for this! Last edited by vsrivatsa : 23rd April 2014 at 22:49. | ||

I met the service manager and came to know that this issue is growing and many owners are reporting the same. He in fact, even told me that it has already been reported to Honda R&D team, as they are not sure of the real culprit (Bearing or any misalignment). since they have already placed an order for the bearing , they would be replacing it in my car this week. The present status of the order is intransit. I hope the issue would be resolved by replacement. Neel, what I suggest is to get this issue thoroughly checked. If needed, get the bearing replaced. Since this is not an intermittent issue and might come back any time. | |

I hope Honda brings this unit to its accessories list or probably in the facelifted version. Actually, found some more info on the net - Honda calls this system Display Audio and it interfaces with HondaLink App to provide full access to your phone on the touchscreen. More here - Last edited by rajivn : 24th April 2014 at 08:47. | |

| ![]() Cars before the Brio has three month service intervals. So maybe they will keep pestering you. However, afaik Honda do not crib with six months, also Synthetic is Ok for 12 months/10000km. |
