I have put a deposit down on a 2009 Fit. Sport/AT/Navi Regarding the Navigation.. I am having second thoughts. Any opinions on this option? I think they quoted ~$1800 for this. Is this the latest navigation technology? Will it be obsolete in a few years? Will it help in resale value? What is bundled with this? Navigation/XMRadio/VSA.. anything else? Is this the same system that has been in Honda Vehicles for the past several years? Anyone with first hand experience with this system? Thanks in advance John

| I believe I will be getting one of the last 08 model Fit Sport MT. I ordered it 22 May 08 and it should be in any day now. Meanwhile I have ordered an XM radio for it, the xpressez. My question is; Has anyone installed an XM Radio in a Fit? How easy will it be to run the Sureconnect cable and antennae from the back of the fit to the front cabin? I am getting cup holder mount for the radio receiver? I just want to make sure it looks good. | |

Hi All, This is regarding poor radio reception. I have read some of the previous posts and have a similar problem. I just purchased a Honda Fit 2 weeks ago. I have a long commute to work and I work long hours so the only chance I have to listen to the news, is on the way to work. The reception that I get on both NPR stations is bad. I hear static no matter where I am. I have owned multiple cars (old ones) and have never had such bad reception. I took it to the dealer and they supposedly compared it to another Fit and told me it was fine. I stayed there an hour and argued with the manager of the service station. Now that I think about it, he was absolutely full of it. He told me that the radio sounded bad b/c it was a new radio and got such excellent reception that it picked uo absolutely every sound and that the older cars that I have had, sounded better b/c the radios were faded from age. I tried adjusting the base like he had suggested and drove to work yesterday and the reception was still bad. I had to turn the radio off and drive in silence. I called the Honda # that was listed in a previous post and they are looking into it. They told me that the antenna might be bad. If you have poor or even average reception in your Honda Fit, call Honda. The more people who call and complain, the more Honda will listen to us. Hondas are more expensive b/c they are higher quality and we should expect nothing less. Call Honda to complain at 1-800-999-1009. I will let you all know if I get any results. Aimee

I live on the outskirts of the transmitters reach, but have never had as bad a reception in a vehicle as I have in my 2008 Fit Sport. I've owned 12 vehicles as old as the mid-80's and some new (GMC truck, CRV and Fit) and the Fit is terrible. I'll be calling the Honda number provided above. While I wish the fuel economy was better (~33 mpg in mixed driving) it is still a great car. Call Honda to complain at 1-800-999-1009 |

| My local dealer didn't have an '09 yet, but he had the new literature. It seems that the specs on the 2009 Fit stereo for both Base and Sport have a 160W stereo. In 2008 the Base had 160W and the Sport had 200W. I test drove the '08 Sport a few months ago and thought the stereo was pretty good. I'm a little concerned with the '09 dropping the power rating ... guess I won't know if my concern is valid until I get to sit in an '09 and crank it up. | |

Can I use the usb connection to play satellite radio through the existing radio in my 09 fit sport (no nav)? I know you can plug an i-pod into the usb jack and use the radio to control it. But can you do the same thing for a satellite radio component? |

Replying to: pf_flyer (Aug 19, 2007 6:29 am) I would call the dealership, especially if you purchased the extended warranty, I just had my gear shift knob replaced free, so I would give it a try. |

Recently purchased '09 Fit Sport with NAV. Brightness of display does not automatically switch between Day and Night when settings are to 'AUTO'. Able to manually change brightness by setting display to 'Day' or 'Night' as appropriate. Suggestions as to likely NAV issue or other (sensor?) issue that prevents correct display operation when set to 'AUTO'?
