Need some inputs on Honda Official Reverse Parking Sensor. I have 2 options: - Paint them white and have it installed and hope they continue to work as expected |

- Also, I believe, holes need to be drilled on bumper to install them and this is something I'm not too sure how the quality of the finish would be after market. |

Yes, the sensors are part of Honda accessory list. Price is 5400. I will get them from dealer itself as getting them from outside has a huge risk of voiding the warranty. For LED scuff plates I really want to know if the previous generation City and this one has same dimensions in that area. If it is then the same can be fitted easily. Plus point in getting them from outside is that all 4 doors will get illuminated ones where Honda is giving LED for only front doors. Fitting is easy through the dome light and any good accessory guy can do it. Spoiler I will wait and try to find a local accessory shop, otherwise I will procure it from the importer and get them fitted here. Mine is also SV model so do keep me posted whatever modifications you do which will be quite helpful to me and others. Delivery of my car is in April so near that I will do a complete survey of all accessory shops in Karolbagh and will post my findings here. |

They will work properly even after getting painted. In fact, having black spots all over a white bumper might not be pleasing to the eyes. Have the white painted sensors and they work properly. Yes, holes will be drilled. The drill bit that is supposed to be used for this purpose, is part of each sensor package box itself hence needn't worry about the quality of the finish. |

....EDIT: I called up another dealer: Magnum Honda. I spoke to accessory manager there. He told that they come in black only and if I get them painted white, they will not work properly (sensitivity/ability to detect obstacles will reduce). From Dakshin, as the warranty will be void if I paint them white, I may not be able to fight with Honda as well if the sensitivity does decrease. |

....True. If I'm getting it installed, it'll be white for sure. When it comes to drilling on a 10Lakh+ car, I do not mind paying premium to Honda to get it done... |

Wondering if the dealer ( Whitefield Honda ) will install an after market audio system without voiding the warranty ? |

More than warranty issues, it's the problem with sensitivity. No one usually paints the black sensors citing the same reason. Why dont you try to source (painted) after market stuff and then get it installed from Honda? Red Soul will have painted ones. May be you can try Xenos, Auto cop etc as well. |

Hey guys, So I mentioned earlier in this thread that I had booked a VX-MT iDETC Silver Color Honda City. (in New Delhi) Now this booking was made around end of December, 2013. And to my surprise, I have still not received the car! Its already been over 2 and half months. The dealership did not even contact and talk to me over the course of time and on the contrary "I" was calling them and inquiring about my car. Then when I got them on the phone, they said that the VX models are not coming in numbers. There is more demand for the lower-mid level variants and only like 3-4 VX models are coming to them per month. So this means that the dealership where I booked say that from January 2014 till March 2014, they have only got 12 VX models in different colors. And that my booking number is 5 and they have already allotted 2 cars for March. Which means that even IF 2 more VX models come in April (and pray to god SILVER is the color of these two) I will still not get it in April. Result: Waiting period of over 4 months. :Frustrati I'm surprised at this and even called up Honda directly and spoke to their customer care and they were like "Sir, please leave your name, number and e-mail and I will forward this to the person in-charge". Then the dealership calls me a few minutes later and when I explain the situation I'm in, they say that I should wait till next month and they will "try" their best to deliver the car to me. So all in all, things are not looking good and I was really excited about getting this baby. Anyone with any suggestions on what I should do ? And has anyone else been in or is in this situation? I am on the brink of cancelling this booking. :( |

Audio system can never void the warranty. I'll be surprised if Dealer/Honda says so. If you are going for after market one, you can check with other shops as well Are they available at any online shop? With respect to sensitivity, any guidance on which ones would be good? I'm not keep at all on having a display (for distance) along with sensor. Just need the beeping sound. Did you try going there personally and escalate it to Manager/MD? When you go there in person and raise your voice, they may fall in line. Honda support is useless. I'm not sure if they have an escalation path, else calling the toll free number is not going to help at all. They will just forward your request to dealer. |

It's not dealers fault. He is right. Honda is manufacturing very less V and VX models. Around 3-4 received by every dealership every month. Sv, S and E are the ones produced more. Precisely the reason i didn't go for V as it has 4-5 months waiting. I will suggest as you have waited this long don't give up. Pressurize the dealer by going there in person and continuous calls so things can speed up. |

Thanks. Yeah I think I'm gonna have to make a few rounds of the dealership and try to speed things up (if that's even possible!) |
