Kiran,great news. Hope I can read it before leaving.

@Charthom - good to note that your UT is going in for 2nd free service. All the best mate.

Thanks,Mate.You are really supportive as always.

By the way friends, I am looking for some views and opinions for headrest monitors for my ANHC and I had posted the query below elsewhere in another forum. However, I am still yet to hear a reply for that so thought of posting it again here so that I can get a quicker reply.

I may have to research here. Saw the Mega audio monitor ad in mags.BTW, the Mega Audio HU seems to be good-I saw a review on TBHP. So their Monitors should be good too.

PS: My honda dealer has found a customer who is interested in my CD player for Rs 7K that was lying idle after installing Caska HU. So I need to shell out just another 5K for my headrest monitor. Sounds good eh :D?

Excellent.clap:The Honda guys at your end are really helpful. Nice to hear this.

charthom, how many KM's have you done so far?

Do you plan to change the engine oil?

Not now-at 5000 kms.

Disappointing to see that V kool has blistered out, any reason? may be workmanship
The rear glass is very tricky to stick and requires some heating before sticking the film.
If possible please stay back to supervise this work with regard to the quality of work and materials used.
Please update after the service

The winter too has contributed. they are replacing it now. i will get the car by evening.Yes they are heating it up.Unfortunately too pressed up for time-hence can't stay back for the job.

I will update after the job.

I am not planning for synthetic oil as of now. Again very vague answer from the S.A. No uniform feed back from them about switching over to synth oil and service intervals.

Ok, then do prepone the 3rd service at least; during the intial days, the time of oil change also matters.

Don't think about synthetic till 10k kms. And given your running, it doesn't make sense anyway.

Cheers!

So the dates are finalized now, sad to know you are leaving but the job has to be done. Will you be back on Diwali?

I may also have to separate from Venus for some 15-20 days to Mumbai later this month.

I guessed it so, because in my case I went in for 2nd service (3 months) with less than 1000 km and there was no need to change the engine oil.
But for the 3rd service (6months) at 2400 km the engine oil and filter were changed for the first time.
Honda's policy is to change the engine oil and filter every 6 months or 5k KM which ever is earlier.
Disappointing that you could not get the V-kool film fixed.
Happy Onam to all

@Charthom and Friends:Cannot wait to announce that I finally managed to get my ANHC installed with all the pending items that I had in the wishlist for a long time.

1) Headrest monitors (beige) with in-built DVD, SD, Gaming, USB slots. Got them integrated with Caska HU. Now we have two way DVD going back and forth. Brand - Worldtech
2) 3D Kagu Mats (Beige) exclusively for ANHC. They call it the i-Vtec model while retrieving the mats from store.
3) Infra Kool suncontrol for the front windshield.

I will be posting a detailed write-up with pics soon and take a long break from any more detailing for the car.

Happy Onam mate.

Cheers,
Kiran

I just finished off the pending jobs to make life easier for my wife. filled N2 for both cars so that the frequency of filling may be prolonged ie. monthly.

BTW,the tyre shop guy has clearly told me to check the air weekly/10 days and N2 monthly as a general case.

Thanks for the concern-bluevolt,reply already posted.

Only by end of March,sigh!! Positive part is I have never been to Finland before.

Wish you romantic re-joining. Or is it fatherly?:)

I have made arrangements-will be done promptly. Presently non BHPians won't be able to make out the difference:)

Happy Onam to all

Thank you friend-I overstayed for 1.5 months to be with my family for Onam.

Kiran,great news-Congrats. Friend,I could not help you with the monitor-was hard pressed with a lot of last minute jobs.

How are they with Caska and the Alpine speakes?How much?

At last!! Did you check out the Star mats?

3) Infra Kool suncontrol for the front windshield.

How is the performance?

That will make the trip very exciting, my friend. Enjoy discovering Finland as much as you can, and bring back plenty of snaps (if you can). I will be eagerly waiting for March and your wonderful updates.

And Happy Onam from our family to yours! :)

Nope. I went straight for 3D that cost me 4.6K. I will post the pics soon.

How is the performance?
Performance is good as I could make out the difference in the amount of heat that I could sense now compared to what it was earlier. IK costed 10.5K and I find it a great VFH.

Well, can you really? :-)
Please find the link to the thread below dude.
