Yup,nobody has done it before.

Even USF who's selling new Elysion officially can't even provide that service to their customer. It may require alot of works to translate all those words and functions. But, in case you've successfully done it somewhere,do notice us too.

About the hidden GPS module,i don't think it will be compatible with on board controls.right?


Last few days,i went to Dynasty workshop in sunway,a specialist of MPV to have my Elysion door checked and repaired. After checking throughly, we found out that one of the holder(i'm not sure what is the part name) has broken, and that is the reason why my power door can't slide smoothly(jerking) and most of the time stuck whenever i tried to open or close it. Its the part which hold the door and it also been use in manual door.

What has been worrying me is when the mechanic told me that they don't have the broken part for Elysion,as they only have for Estima/Alphard. And he said,he'll try to order the part, but cannot guarantee the part will be available.


Anyway, i planned to find the part in either Honda SC or USF SC, while waiting. If anyone know where can i buy Elysion parts (online also can) do let me know.

Thanks.

accure



Hi Accure,

You can try Exceptional Auto Parts S/B 03 55693538.

I recently had my windscreen replaced due to the crack and it was getting longer. The the original was very expensive so I opted for the China made.

Hi all,

I have been browsing through the web and finally (and happily) found this forum.

I am thinking of buying Elysion to replace my current car, an odyssey. Thinking of purchasing 2005-2007 elysion 3.0 and would be keen to hear inputs, any of your first hand experiences with Elysion. I have been flipping the pages here, but I might have missed some of the info that I am looking for.

1. I am based in Jakarta and most of elysion that I have seen (or imported) are, at least, VX specs (I think but not 100% sure, as all of them have 2 automatic sliding doors, navi system, and all the buttons on the steering wheel). What are the key differences between VX and VZ? How can I tell if it is a VZ just from looking at the interior or exterior?

2. What are the key differences between different generation of Elysion (2004-2005, 2005-2006, 2007-2008, and 2008-now). I can tell from grill, bumpers, and rear lights. Other than that, are there any major differences, especially for 2004 to 2007?

3. I understand that various options in Elysion are customized. What do you think as the most useful options that you can get from Elysion? What options are normally available at VX type? I understand that navigation system is pretty much useless since it is in Japanese and cant be re-programmed. What about the second TV in the middle? Or others? Or 7 or 8-seat setting?

4. Since I will be buying used car, what are the critical parts that need to be checked or replaced, say for a 4-5 years old Elysion running around 40-60k km? Are those electronic options/gadgets be one of those parts (presumably those are rather expensive and hard to get parts to replace).

5. Any recommended shops in Singapore, should I am having issue buying parts in Jakarta?

Thanks all, and happy Eid to all of you who are celebrating.

Cheers,
Olie

Hi Kay,

I am so sorry to hear that your brand new car got hit by irrespossible driver. I hope you made the police report and claim from the insurance. Let the panel workshop handles it.

For reference as what are the parts price and look like you can browse the japanbid/easybid and use the browser to translate it.

I once saw the whole tailgate without the plate garnish open for bidding around 80,000yen. You can go to Exceptional Auto parts (in Hicom Shah Alam area) or call them 03 55693538. They have the catalogue. Maybe you can collect the parts pn next business day if the parts are available, else wait a moth for them to order.

bro. k


Sorry about your mishap. Hope your Ely is OK by now. Since claiming insurance, might as well send it to USF as they bring in Elysion officially here and should have more spares on standby.

Hello dred,

The recall description says that it was due to the fastening bolts of the pump. So if you can, get the SA to bring the car with you to where br.dcspeed serviced his car, that guy has the Honda diagnostic machine to read if there is any error logged in the car's ECU and TCU.

Then decide on the warranty after the diagnostic. If everything is clean, up to you to take the extended warranty. If not clean, change to another unit or take up the warranty.... I wonder if the diagnostic unit can read the true total mileage done by the car. I don't trust the reading on the odometer.


Regards.
