Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Garmin Map Update Procedure
« Last post by R2D3 on Today at 11:54:12 AM »
Map update available at last but...

Gamin Express finally advised me that a map update WAS now available so one blank USB stick and 30 minutes download later I connected said USB stick to my vehicle and clicked on the 'USB Map Update' button only to be given the message 'No Device Connected. Connect a compatible USB device to the vehicle to use this feature'.
Ummm, so how does one explain the following message i get on the Navigation screen when i click on the top line "MAP UPATE is connected" (Map Update being the name of my USB Stick)?  See images. 

Any suggestions please?

Hybrid / Re: Is 1.3 IMA a good used buy in principle?

According to the mechanic at the dealership the IMA batteries in the 2009 civic hybrid used to have degradation issues and were therefore replaced. All later models including our jazz have battery packs that are expected to last as long as the rest of the car.

I wouldn't worry about it. But that's just my opinion.

Mine is a low mileage, hardly used car. It's 2 years old now and covered around 3500 miles.
99% of my journeys are 2-3 miles from cold starts in and out of town, with longer runs of 30-50 miles a few times a year.
The car can go a week or more without use at times and so far I have not needed to hook it up to a trickle charger.

I think the 12V-battery drain depends highly on the usage of high drain accessories like heated seats / rear window and mirrors / steering wheel.
If you don't use these even short trips won't be such a problem as the ICE is cranked by the HV-battery.

I am familiar with 12V battery drain on numerous cars, EV and petrol and have no real concerns regarding this issue and appreciate as the car(battery) gets older it may need a top up from time to time during extended non use periods during the winter.

I just put the trickle charger on a couple of times in the Winter and that seems to be enough to keep the battery healthy

Fully agree

I use my CTEK every fortnight and even after I have driven recently it can take over 5hrs before it reckons it's finished

I had the same on my 9G Civic, low mileage, CTEK every fortnight and when I sold the car after almost 10 years it still had the original problem free battery

Thanks all

Would the Jazz be reliable if doing a low mileage? as I know the Yaris has 12v battery issues

Great that you are thinking about a Jazz again!

To answer your question: I think all cars will get issues with the 12V battery when driven sporadically and/or only for short trips so you shouldn't let that deter you.

Do you have a garage with a power outlet for your car? If yes, you can easily avoid any 12V battery issues by regularly using a good charger/maintainer to top up the 12V battery.

Otherwise you might want to take a look at a 12V jump starter in case the battery should run flat on you.
The jump starter will get you moving but you will still need to recharge the 12V battery by driving for at least 30 minutes.

If you can see the pump try tapping it with plastic or wood.
Any signs of mice or rodents in your garage parking space that's another common issue resulting in wire loom chewing.
First off view the water container and pump location then the electrical connection.
Take each stage before going down route of buying or replacing parts
