Hondaone.com.au with my Euro

[REV888]

I joined hondaone.com.au the day after I got my car mainly for the use that you can see your Online Service History.

But... Its been a week and a half and still I cant see my 1st Service History Online , does anyone know why and whom I should get in contact with ?

dint you get a letter from Honda Australia

[pharley]

With your on-line service history, HondaONE just displays whatever information that's in Honda Australia's official vehicle database. So if it's not displaying on HondaONE, then Honda Australia hasn't got a record of the service... yet.

Once the dealer sends that information to Honda Australia, it will show up in your HondaONE service history. Some dealers can take longer than others, but they WILL send it. If the dealer wants to get paid, of course ;)

If it hasn't shown up in another week or so, email hondaone@honda.com.au and they'll chase it up for you. They're very helpful :)

[ECU-MAN]

yeah thats right, when the dealer has entered the informatation into the Hondanet, then honda has that information,

Basically when Honda made the Euro they made the Boot so tight that continued use of Banging and closing the boot could snap the wiring harness which means ur lights at the back of the car won't work...

They recalled it to change the wiring harness on the boot so this doesn't happen...

[PERTH_EURO]

Michael do you know where the plug is for recall? Im hoping my boot install doesnt have to come out....

Back on topic... my details of service were up next day.

[Pum[Z]]

What do u mean by plug?? Timbo u haven't done the recall yet?? Thought u did it already.. I'm not too sure if ur sound system has to come out or not for them to access the boot.. Just go to where u service ur Honda and ask them...

Apart form seeing your service history (woopee) has anyone received any other benefits from signing up to Honda One?

It's more just a source of bits of information -- like there's stuff on warranties, and looking after the car, etc. It more about providing easy access to information that's beyond the owner's handbook and saves making a phone call to the dealer to ask questions.

To a certain extent it's an exercise in communications and PR: they check your contact details so they can get hold of you if there is a serious recall. It means you get a certain amount of information and theoretically you may get "extra" benefits (there is the special offers section). It's the sort of site you build to develop and provide extras as time goes on (it's what I do all the time).

It's also to try to develop the "feeling" of being a "Honda owner" and building a sense of community...

What seems wanky to one person can be informative to another.

What is slightly backwards though, is "owner stories" section. It's great to have people talk about how much they love their car, but that's of most benefit to those who haven't bought one yet -- and you have to own a Honda to get access to HondaOne. Then it just becomes a bunch of people who own Hondas standing around going "Aren't we cool"... which isn't...

(As an aside I find a lot of posts at tsxclub.com like that -- a bunch of Americans standing around going "Here's pics of my car" "Wow" "That's cool" -- when it's just a stock car like the rest of them...)

Thanks Tobster - useful feedback.

LOL

[jamchen]

call up the dealer to ask whether they've putted the reconrd on the system...:D
u also get special offers and invitations vis hondaone...

REV888 your dealer may have not done the service history upload onto hondanet.
if your are concerned just call your dealer and ask them to sort it out

as for the 'campaigns' (honda doesnt like the word recall :p) for the smaller ones many of the dealers will just do it and not bother mentioning it to the customer so they don't get unnecessarily worried about a 'recall'
most of the items are not safety related so its not too much to worry about.
u can check which 'campaigns' you have had carried out by looking near the door hinges on the drives door saying like '5B5' or something (which is srs control unit replacement for odyssey)

the other thing with hondaone, don't expect much detail as it will most likely be like

PRE-DELIVERY
FIRST SERVICE
10,000km SERVICE
20,000km SERVICE
GENERAL REPAIR
etc etc etc.

all u get is the title of the work done, not a detailed description.

When you fill in the testimonial on the website you'll get a gift (cap, cd case, etc) from them. Also you'll be invited to their seminar where you can get more information on upcoming vehicle, etc. 2 months ago they had civic launch party only for hondaone members.

I also got free tickets to the Motor Show from HondaONE once.

[Ferrarista]

Thanks for the info

I signed up today

Actually they dont replace the wiring harness on all of the recalls.

The wires required further insulation and liberal application of electrical tape achieves the same end result.

This was a precautionary recall that did not effect alot of cars so do not worry about it too much.

Just alert them on your next service.

Thanks for the tip guys. I didnt even know this existed but I have just signed up and waiting for the Gold Membership to be approved
