Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: WiFi connection priority
« Last post by JazzandJag on Today at 11:12:21 AM »Yes it is possible but a bit involved! To do this requires that the wireless apple carplay is disabled. There is a hidden menu (search the forum for details how to access this) and set the carplay option to USB only. I have deliberately not given step by step instructions as this procedure should only be used by those with a certain level of knowledge, but if you find the instructions and feel competent then go ahead and you will be pleased with the result.

You are quite right, and he doesn't know what's he's talking about. There is no delay from stop, the electric motor is instant. That's what generally gives the Jazz the jump at traffic lights over more powerful cars that have to go through 1st and 2nd gears, whether manual or auto. Only beaten by a more powerful electric car with a bigger larger torque motor generally speaking.
I've posted before about my Yaris test when buying the Jazz. Since I have the Jazz you can guess the result.

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Mk4 2021 Jazz Brake failure
« Last post by Lord Voltermore on Today at 09:55:21 AM »Welcome to the forum
A grinding noise from the brakes is more likely to be rusting on the brake discs . Not connected to the brake simulator recall.
All cars can suffer from disc rusting. Light rusting can form overnight in damp conditions, or even after washing the car. It normally clears itself quite quickly when the car is driven and the brakes applied . It can get worse if and take longer to clear if cars are not driven for some time,(maybe awaiting sale) or only used occasionally for short journeys. Hybrids are slightly more vulnerable because you tend to use the brakes less because they slow themselves down using regenerative braking (A bit like engine braking).
On a higher mileage cars it might be a sign that brake pads/discs need replacement.
This issue was probably fixed as an incidental part of the work done for the brake simulator recall.
I think the dealers attitude to the recall is a separate matter . The brake simulator issue is quite technical, and dealerships may attempt to 'dumb down' on details when speaking to customers who may not be familiar with the issue or have any mechanical knowledge. Also Honda have been criticised for trying to minimise the seriousness of the situation when dealing with customers ,and their previous reluctance to accept responsibility for a recall. Forums like this one have 'persuaded' them to take responsibility and the problem is being fixed.

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Mk4 2021 Jazz Brake failure
« Last post by neb1 on Today at 08:54:11 AM »I noticed my brakes were not quite right grinding sound I found this forum then contacted Honda locally they said bring it in on Recall fixed it no charge but were cagy about telling me what it was just said the replaced the brake pedal then gave me no paper work. I called them later and asked for what they had done only then did they tell me it was the servo and we don't give paper work for warranty work I find this all a bit as if they don't want you to know that the brake issue is a big problem.

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Using the position b on the shifter
« Last post by Jazzfan49 on Today at 01:35:50 AM »I’m with Kremmen on this one, I use B mode 99% of the time but I sometimes use D (ACC) on motorways or long stretches of dual carriageways, I don’t like the sudden braking if your overtaking or when someone pulls across into your lane abruptly, and I’m using the distance setting of one bar - I find the system is to intrusive and prefer conventional cruise control which my SR is not equipped with.

« Last post by PaultheManc on Today at 12:43:18 AM »Re the Toyota vs Honda video comparison above. I believe the presenter does not understand correctly the design of the Honda eHev system. Two points in particular:
1. He suggests that the Honda system has two clutches to in effect provide two gear ratios. From what I have read and seen, I understand that there is only one clutch, and at lower speeds, say under about 45mph, the car only uses the electric motor to drive the vehicle. The clutch only engages at moderate speeds above 45mph for direct drive where the electronics believe optimum efficiency can be obtained.
2. Relates to point 1. when he states there is a delay in starting from stationary due to the clutch engaging. I believe the Honda system only use the electric motor at low speeds, so there can be no clutch delay.
Happy for anyone to correct my understanding if they believe I my understanding is faulty.

« Last post by stani on June 17, 2025, 08:30:46 PM »Ah... 
So I'm adding to the list of failed software...
-----------
But now I actually remember that I did the reset (when I was working with connecting Android Auto and trying to install the app), but I think the number of positions there still remains the same. So if you want to store, for example, only five stations, the other places will remain unoccupied - which is still the same problem. You can't have, for example, only three or five positions there.
