CU2 key proximity leaked

[mrgu]

As a loyal accord euro fan, I gotta say even though it doesn't look 100% right, but I still love it .. This is oem not aftermarket option

This is the only country in the world who has this function as part of euro. Guess which country this is

[I CU2]

wth is that. LOL push/turn to start?

[mrgu]

Yep like the lancer ones .. Exactly the same

[sensei_]

very gimmicky with the turn ignition

[MR_LATE]

thats pretty kool.

[redseven]

Oh yeah, love this :) It's a lot easier than fumbling with the key fob to lock or unlock the car.

Put the "key" in your pocket, then if you're within a meter of the steering column, just touch the left or right-front door handle to open the door. To lock, touch the little button on the door handle. To start the car, just turn the keyless starter thingy.

The car also remembers two different driver positions per key, so the seat automatically goes to the preset position when the door's opened.

I prefer this twist to turn starter rather than the pushbutton ones. If you have a Toyota-style runaway incident, you can easily switch the engine off rather than having to hold down the start button :)

well the Chinese Suprior is not exactly a best seller.

i thought you could just chuck the transmission into neutral

[redseven]

Haha yeah, that too... makes me wonder why those people who were in runaway Toyotas didn't just shift to neutral. Maybe there's a lockout that stops neutral from being engaged beyond a certain speed. Anyway Spiriors are pretty rare here, they've been giving deep discounts but Accords are much more popular. I guess people in China like big cars... not much room in small sporty sedans like the CU2.

[MR_LATE]

They do like their vans in China and I'm not talking about the shoes

[sensei_]

alphards (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Alphard) are popular in the southern part of china (guangdong/shenzhen/HK). having driven and been driven in one, it is a very nicely appointed car to be in. and when fitted out nicely, it could *imo* rival any top tier luxury car.

[mrgu]

Red seven u watch out for ur car in china due to the demonstration

[redseven]

No demos in this part of the woods but yeah, saw Toyotas getting bashed up (and Toyota owners too) in Guangdong province. Seriously stupid shit going down given the huge amount of Japanese investment here.

Bloody hell, I gotta find an Audi badge ;)

Even better find yourself a central government number plate (green if i recall correctly). that way everyone will think you are some government official and leave you alone

Put up the mugen or Acura badge .. Which part u from? Spiror has 2.4 Ivtec k24? 148 kw output? Did u get the type s? Make some shipment of the type s bumpers and u will make a fortune

Same engine different tune, less output iirc.

[redseven]

Same engine, model code is K24Z5 or something. It puts out only 190hp because of lower compression and less aggressive mapping, so it can run on RON93 without blowing up.

Nope didn't get the Type S, I got the poverty spec with the standard halogens :( The Type-S comes with navigation, xenons and a sweet front/side/rear bodykit. I assume that bodykit is made in China... even the engine block is made locally.

[MR_LATE]

Know that feel bro. Got a base model too

[denot]

Its exactly look like the the one on our cx9

[ChaosMaster]

Not sure about the push turn thing. I guess it would come more naturally. I do like the push start feature though, have it on the Prado. Press the button alone for Aux power, press button with foot on brake = start car. Nice and simple. Hated the FPV system though, where you had to insert the key, then press start. If I'm going to insert the damn key, why would I want to press the start button on the other side of the steering wheel? Making a simple thing harder, no wonder the falcon's dead.

[curtis265]

i find it quite ridiculous :S

Its stupid, i hear from my relatives over there, and anything that even resembles Japan gets wrecked like shops & restaurants too. Funny thing is, 90% of the stuff that they wreck isn't even doing damage to Japan it is only doing damage to their own chinese since it is owned by Chinese.

the mainland chinese are a very patriotic bunch. they can get worked up over anything remotely involving politics, japan or taiwan. LOL!

also, those shops that they are damaging, sometimes its intentional. apparently the insurance agents will work in cohoots with the land owners, and get a massive insurance payout for when the shits hit the fan.

The insurance payout is probably subsidiesed by the government.

The issue is deep tho, wouldnt be suprised if a regional conflict breaks out in 5-10 years.... South/North Korea/China/Japan/Phillipines/Vietnam/Russia....

Be really interesting how the US would react when South Korea and Japan decides to have a go at it over those island up north... or China/Japan have a go over the DaoJu islands... or Russia/Japan over Valdstock (sp?) island further up north.

This whole south china sea/north seas problem would really make the middle east problems look like a hippie love festival.

[sensei_]

In all honesty, i hold fears for japan. why? because part of the conditions surrounding the surrender is that japan is not allowed to have any sort of armed forces. hence the term "self defence force" not army. in return the usa was to provide all and any support should it find itself under attack.

now with the US economy up shit creek, i wonder if the US can still live up to those expectations. and also we saw how they dropped taiwan in support for china in the 70s. whats to say that the US wont do the same for japan.

[Fredoops]

USA dropped Taiwan in the late 70s because its pretty much lost by the end of the "white terror" period. Compare the commies to the national party junta back then.... The commies ain't that bad....
Push comes to shove they are still Chinese.

Remember Taiwanese fishing boats get into trouble with the Japanese over DaoYu all the time. More often than the Chinese.

And US cant drop Japan, cause Russia/NK/China all anchored at the same spot, dropping Japan means losing the entire pacific. Outcome is unthinkable.

[I CU2]

Yeah, so about this proximity key.......................... is it made in Japan/China/Taiwan or America :)

[Fredoops]

Of course china. It's probably the Renault/Nissan proximity system that the Dongfeng Honda factory also produces.

[redseven]

Talk about going off-topic! :)

Anyone know how secure this system is i.e. operating range, rolling code on car computer and key fob, encrypted transmissions, etc.? It's a bit creepy because anyone can open the car by touching the front door handles, as long as you're standing nearby with a key fob in your pocket.

[sensei_]

not really. im not sure about honda, but when driving the S class, the driver had to be literally standing right next to me before it would open/lock, and more than half an arm's length wouldnt register. so if the missus wanted the door, she had to be almost hugging me before the door would unlock/lock. same deal with the boot.

on the other hand, volvo S80 didnt have such issues. as long as the remote was in proximity it would open/lock.

[denot]

On my CX9, the driver need to be next to the door to be able to open it (wife cant open it when I stand on the rear passenger door). this is also the same with our Veloster
