So I removed the glove box to see about gaining access to the sensor and I was able to. I pushed up on the sensor tabs with a long screw driver to pop it out of the dash to unplug. Here's a picture not the greatest but shows the connector looking between the airbag and dash brace above the a/c duct tube. Not gonna be easy if to plug it back in, but I'll worry about that later.

So now you can stay in Auto with just DRL on as long as you want, right? No matter how dark

Yes!

Yes!

Perfect. How hard was it to remove glove box and get to that sensor 1-10?

Its easy to remove. Here's a picture i numbered on what has to come off. Everything is held on with clips with the exception of the knee airbag which has 3 10mm bolts and 3 tabs on the top edge below the glove box. Glove box has 4 screws. Dont unplug the airbag thought just set it on the carpet once its unbolted.

Oh damn thats way more than I expected. Think there’s a fuse one could pull that only connects to that sensor? I remember pulling a fuse to cut the power to the DRL in my old Civic Si. Could it be that simple?

Hey everyone,

I'm having trouble with the seat memory function. Hit Set and hold 1 till beep, then do the same for 2. Then Press 1 and nothing happens. Held Set and repeated. Whatever I do, it doesn't remember my choice. yes I read the manual and watch YT videos. I know I must be doing something wrong but don't know what.

Ha - Page 1 - my seat beeps. So I need to calibrate it.

Even though I disabled the driver monitoring, I still get this message popping up from time to time when my arm blocks the sensors. Anyone else have this problem?

 

[cmfhsu]

Yes. To my knowledge, the driver monitor is always enabled. Turning off the feature in the infotainment simply silences the "driver inattention detected" alerts. When it can't see your face, it will still pop that message up.

I think some members simply put electrical tape over the sensor. Be warned, though - I think that disables Traffic Jam Assist.

Electrical tape over the sensor does NOT work. It will keep that annoying pop-up off for about a half hour, then it will freak out and pop up continuously.

Can confirm the front fit. Installed them on my OT. I like the idea of a matching rear one.

This is so annoying!

Here is a small tech idea that I thought I would share. I added a phone mount on the center console in front of the cup holders, and I use a 90 degree usb c adapter with a short cable that has a 90 degree sideways adapter to plug into my phone. That keeps my phone secured and charging without getting in the way.

What brand of mount did you use?

I had this issue. It was very confusing. I found a video on YouTube where a dealer showed you needed to move the seat all the way forward and then all the way back, before trying to set the memory position and that did it for me. Seemed like a calibration step.
