Re: Screen behind steering wheel shutdown

When I saw references earlier in the forum to potential 12v battery problems, I bought a Lidl battery charger.
My question is:- If I leave the car unused for a week can I just connect the charger to the 12v battery terminals or do I need to disconnect it first?

Re: SHOULD I GIVE MY HONDA A NAME?

My 'E' has been named Ernie since I bought it. As in "Ernie - the fastest milk-float in the west" - Inevitable as my previous car, a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, was called a milk-float by my neighbours, My wife bought a Honda Jazz HEV when I bought my E and she calls hers Eric as in Erica a...

Re: 12v auxiliary battery charging

I haven't had that problem, but I bought a neat little Lidl charger. My question is: Is ity essential/desirable to disconnect the battery from car before attaching charger?

Re: MyHonda+ App - What's the Point?

I certainly agree with the view of it being a poorly designed app. For a long time it kept insisting that my wife's Jazz which is on both our MyHonda apps needed a new subscription when the only subscription it had was the core connectivity one. I had lots of email conversations with Leonie Hassfeld...

Re: Hello from Manchester UK

When I bought my E, we called it "Ernie" (the fastest milk-float in the west - if you remember that song!)
Then my wife bought a Hinda Jazz Hybrid so we called that Eric of course (Erica nd Ernie on our drive!)

The popular e

Well, when I bought my e a mere 397 miles ago, I really didn't expect so many admirers to surface. There was the checkout man in Lidl (age about 20) saying " Are you the owner of that Honda e? I'd love to drive one of those. It's really cool ". COOL. Me? I'm 81 and that's the fist time I'v...

Re: MyHonda+

What a shame that Honda can't get their software working properly. Although my E always shows up on my app, although always with the status just when I last stopped the car i.e. doors unlocked even though I did lock up BUT my wife's Jazz sometimes shows up on my app but often I get the message "...

Re: Insurance, heads up

Yes - The insurance angle was a surprise to me too. I've always had my insurance via an insurance broker who uses underwriters. They couldnt get a sensible quote at all and said it was due to lack of statistics on claims involving a Honda E. They suggested I look at an insurance comparison site and ...

Re: USB Playlist

Hi Londiniumperson, Thank you for your detailed advice. I now realise that I knew little about file metadata. I now know more! So armed with your info and my new knowledge I used the "Groove Music" app to update the metadata and "playlist creator 3.6.2" to generate playlists and ...
