| ![]() Hi Flanker99, Glad to know you had a great outing with family and Jazzy boy...the pics are great!!! I took my Jazz out last weekend to Alwar, Rajasthan (About 180kms one way from Delhi), with 3 adults on board and my 3 year old daughter, I completely second your observations when you said the following: Quote:

| ![]() Hi ShanJazz. May I know how many kms your Jazz has covered till now? Your FE figures are really good. I wonder why mine are so low. I guess/hope they might go up with time. If I am not mistaken you had undertaken a long road-trip (Delhi-MP) immediately after you took delivery of your Jazz, right? I believe that might have played a major role in running-in the engine. On the other hand my Jazz has been stuck in the daily grind (home-office-home) since I bought it home. |

I am stupid! Thank you for this update. I am going to try this. By the way, can you run through the steps to make the music streaming via bluetooth happen? Girish Mahajan Quote:
This is interesting. Maybe, you could also explain how to did the music streaming via bluetooth.. Girish Mahajan Quote:
I have the Jazz V CVT - so no MapMyIndia! Sob Sob!! Anway, I have a MMI unit. I can say with confidence that your observations are spot on! I had done a trip from Pune to Goa and back. We did all the sight seeing with bare minimum asking around. We were able to visit all our places of interest. We were actually able to sequence them with minimum travel and maximum coverage! We did use that and the Google Maps on our android phones - but the MMI was definitely more reliable - specially when the phone coverage was kaput! One downside was that it made some funny mistakes in the last half km or last one km - once in a while! On the whole, I would recommend MMI as a reliable companion! Girish Mahajan | |||

Yesterday, I came back from Indore-Matheran trip which is roughly a 1200 kms drive, both ways included. The FE figures were amazing and this, along with comfort level was the highlight of the entire trip. The major reason for concern were the rattles ![]() Coming on to the FE, below is a picture for your reference. I got 20 km/l before I entered Maharashtra's curvy roads and ended up with 18 km/l when I ended the trip. I only took my vehicle till Neral so cant comment on the FE and performance on steep ghat sections. Matheran was too crowded and the parking was full. My city driving is pretty laid back and I usually get around 14+ km/l while driving in Indore's chaotic conditions. PS - The picture was taken by my home minister while I played the chauffeur ![]() Last edited by k.sumit : 28th December 2015 at 21:12. | |

Rightly said Sir! But I believe even Google Maps might have an issue with the last mile details. What needs to be done is a head to head comparison of MMI and Google Maps in a real life situation. Perhaps Nokia's/Microsoft's Here software (the one present in Lumia smartphones) can be evaluated as well. Last edited by Gannu_1 : 30th December 2015 at 13:10. Reason: Back to back posts merged.

BHPian ![]() | ![]() @Flanker99 - Agree with you on MMI, it is very handy when you are in an area with no GPS connectivity using your phone. Let me tell you all another cool feature in MMI. Press any map area and it will drop a pin and give you options asking to Navigate to, Find POI etc l. Click Find POI, you can select from options like ATM, Pump stations, Commercial Places, Residential buildings, Honda service centers etc. Press on any option it will list out 99 search hits within some kma radius from where you are located at present. It's a brilliant device and was of great help in my first long drive in Jazz. Just had to key in the hotel name and voila it shows the route, kms, ETA, Distance to Go. It does re-routing brilliantly if you follow an alternate route with changes to ETA and Distance to go. On my first long drive with Jazz, it was a 1000kms drive to and fro. Its a dream machine, we extremely planted when driven above 100kmph. Yes, fuel efficiency takes a hit if you go past 100kmph, managed to get a FE of 16.7kpl overall with 70-30 percent in highways-city driving. |

I did ensure that i vary the RPM across the range as suggested by fellow BHPians during my trip, and kept driving in the "green zone" to the maximum extent possible, i find the "ambient economy mode lighting" as a great guide to help me optimize my driving style. Quote:

| ![]() Hi, have anyone faced call voice clarity issues with the top end model HU?? Whenever I connect my phone with the Bluetooth and answer a call, other person always complain about poor voice clarity. It is always distorted and cracking where as I can listen their voice clearly. They also complain of noises coming with my voice. I thought of sharing it with you guys so that I can know the real problem. Anyhow I am not very happy with the HU. |

| ![]() ^^ Sad to hear the bluetooth issue. It's really bad from Honda that the HU in the top end model has various issues. I think the same HU is used in the Amaze and City. I wonder why Honda has not done anything after so many customer complaints! Regarding this particular issue, please check with the dealer if there is an option to attach an external mic to the HU. I have a Blaupunkt touchscreen HU fitted on my old Jazz and it has the option to use the internal or external mic. The external mic can be fitted on the roof near the top of the A-pillar which should make the voice clear. In the settings, I can select which mic I want to use (internal or external). For me, both the internal and external mic works fine though. Normally, when I am speaking alone, I use the external one but if the co-passenger wants to speak, I use the internal one. I am not sure about the HU in the VX but no harm in checking out with Honda. If Honda says not possible, please check with some good accessory shop if it's possible. Best of luck!

While using ipod also, in case you wanna search for some song it will stop the current playing song. ![]() You cannot connect ipod via usb. It wont detect it. Touchscreen response is bad too. Any one wants VX model HU? Quote:
Yes, I did try it with blower off. It works just fine. But I cannot keep switching my blower on/off. Its a blunder by Honda when they charged me so much money for top model. ![]() Last edited by khan_sultan : 1st January 2016 at 10:36. Reason: Only 2 smileys per post please. | ||

| ![]() Hello fellow Jazzers and other experts! Happy New Year to all of you and all your near and dear ones! I have an observation. I would like your comments on it. I was driving on the Pune Mumbai Expressway. I was traveling at about 80 kmph at about 1600 rpm. I have always wanted to see what gear the car is in (equivalent gear of course). So, I used the '-' toggle. The engine shot up to about 3000 rpm and the car accelerated to about 90 kmph. And now the interesting part - the display showed "D5"!! I was very surprised. So I tried this again at 90 kmph and even at 100 kmph. (Note: I do not like to drive recklessly. I do most of my driving at 80~90 kmph maximum speeds.) I got the same "D5". So I tried '+' toggle at 80/90/100 kmph each. Even more interesting thing happened - the display showed "D7" but the rpm actually shot up as if I had downshifted and not upshifted! What would this mean? The options that came to my mind: 1. The car was in some gear close to D6 and when I did '-' toggle, it went into D5 and when I did '+' it went into D7. 2. The car was in some gear close to D7 and when I did '-' toggle, it went into D5 (I do not know why it would do a 2 step change!) and when I did '+' it stayed at D7. 3. In the D mode, the minimum and maximum gear ratios are wider than the manual D1-D7 and at that speed the car was actually in the equivalent of D8 or D9. So, it makes sense that the '+' made it actually do a '-' to D7 and a '-' made it do a double '-' to D5! Options 3 seems most logical to me - as of now! I request others to try this and let me know if you are also experiencing something similar. I request the experts in this forum to enlighten me. I have a feeling that if I contact Honda or their representatives, I might not get a satisfactory answer. However, I am going to ask them too - at the time of the next servicing. Drive safely.
