The console armrest interested me as well, but too expensive with shipping costs. College Hills carry it, but are out of stock now. Don't know how much it is:

Hope this helps
BTW Japanparts are great to work with and it was quick shipping time. Just be sure if you are paying through PayPal to pay in Japanese yen, or they will decline your payment.

They say that if you try to get the beep from the horn, it will NOT go off if you have a door open.
You might consider rechecking your doors including the trunk hatch.
Let us know how it turns out.
Just the other day I randomly hit the button a second time to beep at me and when I didn't hear it, I rechecked a door and it was still open. Even though I am careful, it does happen.
What am I missing? Does such a release and key entry exist?
Thanks!

You can unlock the trunk in two (possibly 3) ways.
The two most obvious are double clicking the unlock button on the remote keyless entry/key, and also double clicking the unlock button on the drivers side command/door lock.
See where the lock button is on the drivers door pad?
Click it twice in unlock position. (sometiems it is touchy and I gotta hit it three times.)
That should do the trick.
I am trying to save the power on the key batteries. So when I lock the car up, I try to just use the drivers lock button.
(just an unrelated thought)
I found the Thule installation instructions on the web and they say the bars have to be 24" apart which is too narrow for my needs. Has anyone installed them further apart. Same question for the Yakima's...how far can you get the bars apart?
TIA,

The one for the Fit covers the whole windshield extremely snugly (so snug that I don't even fold my visors down) and also has little wings to cover the little front triangle windows too, and it's both reflective and insulated. The main drawback is that it's bulky when rolled up, and quite long.
The dealership I bought my Honda from had them in the parts department so it may be worth a trip to the dealer to look. They're about $30 but worth it if you live somewhere hot (I'm in Tucson, AZ, so it's a big deal for me.) The canvasworks.com website kind of sucks, but I've ordered from them twice with no problems.
oh, I'm in phx too.
Does the security system covers the hood as well as all the doors and hatch?
I've read that the system sounds the horn once for lock and twice for unlock. Does it sound the horn if the doors were already unlocked? ie. when you unlock, does it only sound the double-horn once no matter how many times you press the unlock button in succession?
You mentioned automatic vs manual arming. Were you referring to the system's ability to lock and arm automatically simply by closing all the doors, without having to actually press the lock button?
Thanks. (Hope you're still around to answer!)
I am a new member (been lurking for the last few weeks), and just bought my Fit Sport 5M yesterday. Now it's time to accessorize!
Any places you fine folks care to shop at? H and A?
Thanks!

Also CollegeHill Honda is a great company to look at. They also combine shipping and if you are out of state, then no taxes.

I just got my Five Window tinting done on the back. 16% is what I have and its simply amazing and easy to see from the inside and looks great when you look from the outside.
Here in Oregon we can tint to 35%, and I am gettting mine done tomorrow. A great website to learn a little more about tinting (and laws) can be found at www.autowindowtinting.com
So while were at it, does anybody know the % that the factory put on the fit?
"How much is/was your window tinting going to be? I found a place in Maryland to do it for $220, but if I go to a local car show and pay for it there, I get it for 50% off."
My quote for tinting was roughly 275. And that is for the high-end "hybrid" tint, for all windows. Make sure that whoever does your windows gives you a liftetime guarantee, and that they have been around for a while. The place I am going to has been in business for 20 years, and I am willing to pay a little more for a quality job with a great guarantee.
I just wanted to check in and see if you still like the arm rest you purchased?? Any flaws?? Out of all the arm rest I have looked at.. I like this one best so far. Wanted to double check before I placed my order!!
I see that you have purchased the hitch for fit. Did you install this yourself or did you have someone install it for you? If you did install the hitch how easy was it? Easy to remove the udder?
Looking forward to hearing about the installation experience.
I was about to install a Yakima Rack with Q5 clips on my Fit, but while under the car, changing the oil, I noticed no obvious spots to tie a rope from the bow of the canoe to the car. There was an obvious tie-down spot at the rear of the car, but not in the front. The owners manual says specifically not to use the screw-in tow ring as a tie-down point. My Honda dealer said to call customer service at Honda. I did so, and was told that Honda does not sell a rack for the Fit and the shop manual does not list any tie-down points on the car. In other words, I got no help. I asked if nothing is to be carried on the top of the car, why not say that in the owners manual at the spot where you are told not to tow anything with the Fit.
I called Yakima and asked if they actually tied down a canoe on the Fit when they created a rack system for the car, and the person I spoke to said no, they don't. They could not suggest a point on the car to tie the bow of the canoe, but of course do say such a line is required.
Where have you folks who have carried a canoe with the Fit tied down the bow of the canoe to the car ? I have seen some keyhole like slots on the bumper itself, but the Honda representative could not say what those slots were for, and a latching a hook in such a spot seems like a very weak link.
Thanks !
I know it's caveat emptor out there, but it sure would be nice if these rack manufacturers would think of these little details ahead of time.
