Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Buying Advice - Jazz Advance
« Last post by ninanina on Today at 05:31:28 PM »Now I’ve read of the following problems with the Mk4 Jazz:
Brake failure
Door mirror motors failing
Seat base sides cracking
Delaminating windscreens
I’m really going off the idea of buying a brand new one as these failures are on cars that can’t be any older than 4 years and most seem to have low mileage
Not once have I had a failure in the 5 Toyota’s I’ve owned and none have been brand new. The previous Prius had done 140,000 miles & 17 years old and I only ever replaced tyres, exhaust, wipers and one number plate bulb in the 9 years I owned it; absolutely everything worked on it
The newest car I’ve owned (apart from company cars) is my current Prius at 7 years old but it’s covered less than 32,000 miles. It’s still got 3 years Toyota warranty (8 on the hybrid system) remaining
All our Toyota’s have been looked after by the main dealer and they have been extremely good
I’ve averaged over 60mpg in the current Prius. I get 42-45mpg on very short cold day town runs, which will improve with the warmer weather, and longer runs 65+ so there probably isn’t much in it compared with the Jazz
I tend to own my cars for many years past their warranty period so the thought of buying a car that has issues, even inside warranty, really worries me
If Honda had a 10 year warranty (15 on the hybrid system) like Toyota then I’d go for the Jazz
It’s such a shame because I absolutely love the design of the Jazz and the space inside is plenty for my needs
I think I will either hold onto the Prius or take a look at a new Yaris or maybe Corolla

Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / My Automatic Honda Jazz vibrate when accelerating from a stop
« Last post by MB11 on Today at 05:11:51 PM »Hi,
I have an automatic 2005 Jazz 1.4 petrol with only 43k miles, i bought it 6 months ago and i don't remember the car vibrating in the first 2-3 months. The problem start when you want to accelerate quick from a dead stop, you can feel the whole car vibrate when going from 0 to 20 and it last 1 sec maybe 2 and then it goes smooth. The vibration is worsen the faster you accelerate, and becomes more noticeable if you let the car warm up for 3-5 min.
I took it to a mechanic, he drove it and noticed the vibration as well, he had a quick look at the engine mount and he said he couldn't figure it out and may be the CVT transmission after all and i should bring it to a honda dealership for actual diagnostic.
Quick search on google and the first thing pops up is the CVT, it seems to be a known issue in these MK1 Jazz. Has anyone experienced a similar issue, and if so how did you solve it?

Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Re: Newbie Jazz help!
« Last post by Cammytammy on Today at 04:49:12 PM »Thanks for the reply!
I've read so much about the judder/shuddering being down to the speed sensor failure and a transmission oil change. Once done, and with some XADO added, seems to fix these issues.
To me, it makes logical sense as in full auto mode there is nothing telling the transmission what speed it's going, which would determine when to change gear etc.
In manual mode, I'm basically bypassing the sensors job and I'm gear changing on my own.
Surely it the gearbox or transmission is broke, it is broke, regardless of which mode I'm in. After all it's the same gearbox regardless of mode.
With the Speedo not working, and the diagnostic check only showing a speed sensor fault, I'm hoping my logic is correct!!

« Last post by ColinB on Today at 04:24:27 PM »At the risk of stating the obvious (apologies), that right hand display has lots of modes. You cycle through them using the buttons on the lower right of the steering wheel. Do none of those work, ie you can't change the display at all?

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Seeking Guidance for Dashcam Hardwiring and Installation
« Last post by oneral on Today at 03:09:39 PM »Hello everyone,
I'm soon getting my hands on a Honda Jazz 2020 and I'm keen to install a dashcam, particularly for nighttime parking. I've been considering using the fusebox for both ACC and BAT power, but after browsing previous threads in this forum, I'm a bit confused.
As far as I understand, there are two options:
A: Option Connector - sold separately but seems to be available only in the Japanese market, making it challenging to acquire in the UK.
B: Fusebox connection - while convenient, it can be risky due to potential faulty wiring issues.
This will be my first experience installing a dashcam, and I lack prior knowledge in car electronics. I'm planning to purchase the Viofo A129 with two cameras. Could someone guide me through the process of connecting to the fusebox in detail?
1. Which fusebox should I use?
2. Which fuses are suitable for piggybacking, and where is the best location for the ground connection?
3. Do I need to remove the A-pillar trim to better installation of the wire, avoid interference with the airbag?
4. If yes to question 3, what precautions should I take when removing this trim? I am thinking it may be a irreversible connectors?
5. Is there any particular advice you're offering?
Could you please share some photos of your installation? I would appreciate it.
Apologies for the detailed questions, but I'd greatly appreciate your insights. I'm eager to tackle this installation myself, but I want to ensure I have a clear understanding before proceeding.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Honda jazz 2019 - no tyre deflation menu showing up anymore :/
« Last post by eskatephil on Today at 02:45:15 PM »Hey guys - looks like I fucked up.
I have tried installing a third party radio from AliExpress - which wasn’t too great of an experience. Long story short - they didn’t included the canbus with the radio, had a lot of problems with it and even after getting the canbus they failed to give me any actual information on how to configure it properly ( Honda jazz 2019 wasn’t on the list of devices for the canbus app)
I decided jest to bite the bullet and go back to the stock radio.
After installing the radio back I noticed I lost the extra menu on the right hand side of the dashboard (check photo) I assume I am fucked now as that’s the menu for the tyre deflation system.
No idea what to do now - everything was connected as before - any ideas what I could possibly do?
I guess the only possible thing would be installing the joying radio and go with them since they have a preconfigured canbus but I don’t have the money for this right now.
Anyone?
