How To Remove Upholstery Cushion From Rear Seat Of Honda Element
#hondaelement #hondaelementrearseat #removeelementseat #hondaelementrearseat #howtoremoveelementrearseat
This was actually a bit harder than I thought it would be. But not "TOO" hard that I would not do it again. This video will show you how to remove the upholstery and cushions from the rear Honda Element seat. I wanted to do this so I can make a flat bed. If you want to see that part, check out my other channel @Tiny-Campers
Gear Gadget Experiments
I like to share my experience with the assorted things and products. I try to unbox and give initial impressions of the gadgets I get. I also like DIY modifications with my cars and home. Hopefully, my videos can help you determine what fixes you might want to make or things you might want to buy (or not buy). I usually prefer budget items that offer high value with less than premium features. Fine! you can say I am a bit on the cheap side. haha

Mercylion Universal Dash Cam. 4k Front and 2k Rear. Easy, Clean Install. No Dangling Wires!
I've have the Nx450h+ fsport its hands down the best car I've ever purchased❤ Thank you Lord Jesus.
my wife loves her car too.
Thankd🎉❤❤❤🎉
Thanks for the video. I wish you could show us with rear seats down as well. I know golf clubs will definitely fit, but wanted actually see how well they are fitting with the seats down. Do you think 2 golf clubs and 2 x push cart will fit?
yes, 2 sets and 2 foldable push carts should fit. Unless you have the huge carts that don't fold.
Great review of the NX 450H , thanks. ! I owned a 21 Rav Prime XSE for 3 yrs., put on 50K mi. Best vehicle ever! Super car power, great & I really utilized the plug in feature + pure electric range. Got the new Land Cruiser now, great ride but very hard to spend 4X the $$ fuel bill!! I'm going back to the plug in, I ordered the NX450H made in Japan. Note long highway drivers only : a "plug in" is at least a 500lb heavier vehicle, go w/ hybrid.
It appears he has the same issue I did when installing this on a new Prius. If you notice in the videos the left side of the large cover isn’t up against the windshield. In my case the new cover isn’t deep enough to allow room for the camera cable and the whole piece rocks from left to right and won’t settle flush against the windshield resulting in the left side being loose. Hope everyone has better luck but I finally just removed the camera and reinstalled the stock covers. You can see the gap at 9;13 in the video
Does it work with the hard tri food covert?
what if the airbag goes off? does it become a projectile?
Hopefully I never find out.
what diffuser do you recommend? i heard toyota changed the rear diffuser and there one piece now… planning on buying a diffuser but i need one for my 2025 xse 😭
Yes, it is one piece now. Check out my cat back install video to see how I removed the piece for my quad tips. I was looking at the ikon diffuser. But haven't gotten around to it yet. I just put in leather seat covers.
where did you buy the side skirts???
I'm not happy with the side skirts, so I didn't make a video for it. They are just cheap generic ones from eBay.
@ I see, any recommendations for side skirts?? I appreciate your response.
I don't have experience, but I would would recommend a Corolla specific one that will line up perfectly with the plastic pins underneath. The way the eos lip lines up perfectly
it honestly looks good! gonna look into buying one. 💪🏼
My son LOVED that lip. Unit he took a dip too fast and it broke. I recommend the 3 piece lip if your car is lowered. This one is great if you are riding stock.
@ thank you! just saw the other video, will definitely go with the 3 piece one.
I've been reading mixed statements from people on other videos telling me these clips break when you pull out the seat, was that your experience?
I have pulled them about 4 times already. They have not broken, but my car is pretty new. But yes, these plastic clips can get brittle and break.
After installed . Can you use still the navigation at the car ? Thanks
Yes
Concerning the "initial spark" when you hook up the battery cables. Batteries give off hydrogen when charging, and it is possible (not probable) that the hydrogen that MAY be present could be ignited by that initial spark. If you have never had a battery blow up in your face, you want to keep it that way. Just maybe use the battery cover to fan some air and disperse any hydrogen that MIGHT be present. Will this inverter make clean enough electricity to power a computer or charge cordless power tool batteries? Fabulous video.
Very nice 👍 car.
Just an FYI, these battery banks are more efficient on dc than they are on ac since the inverter uses energy. If you can find dc cords for your cpap, the battery will last longer. Those cords come with many of the smaller battery banks and come in many types of plugs. Airsense 10 and the AS11/Airmini are some of those. Turning off heat and humidity will extend the usage time a fair bit more.
This same company actually makes a DC only pack with CPAP in mind. Comes with different DC adaptors.
@@GearGadgetExperiments We have EasyLonger battery banks and they came with all the fittings. The 960 will give my husband a 9 hour night with his settings of 11 -17 and hose temp at 17, humidity at 4. I have a 720 but I cannot get a full night with my settings of 8 - 11; hose temp 18; humidity 3. The 960 is a very nice portable and I can get 6 nights with the heat and humidity off. Now we have the Bluetti AC70 with pass through charging supplying power to the EasyLongers that in turn power our cpaps. Even when the Bluetti runs down, then the EasyLongers continue with what they have in the tank.
Well done , I guess there's no easy shortcuts...my problem is that one basically have to be a Contortionist to get into those cramped spaces...and at my age , this is no easy feat... I'm basically in traction for a week after the exercise...😂
Your from California. Sweet😅
Hey??? That Crappy CD player was the best😊
haha
Thank you! Could u show us how to put it back in place? I’m having issue with the buckles lol
haha. It is a bit tricky. But wedge the rear first. Slide in the belt buckles into the slots. Slide chair back and push down at same time.
Hi, is there a way to explain or a video to show how the back up cam is installed. I’m a bit confused. Everything else was very helpful.
I just drilled it into the plastic above the license plate area.
@@GearGadgetExperiments sorry I meant the wiring part is confusing me a bit. I wanted to make sure I wired the camera up correctly on the radio unit and on the reverse line.
Put a towel below stereo, above small display so you don't scratch it 😉
Can you still use the steering wheel controls such as volume and skipping songs?
yes
I have the EWK 6.5 liter and it’s exactly the same in every aspect as color and looks but only different brand name, just used mine and it definitely works!!!
That thing sucks. 😏
indeed. haha
How the new HU-Dasaita holding up? You channel was recommended by YT. Does it have a Navigation feature of its own without pairing the iPhone Google map? I noticed the backup camera didn't have gridline. I have a '17 rav4 xle premium. So this should work. Mine has the stock USB socket below then HU with the eco, sport beside it. I plug my own USB to listen to music. Did it retain that feature? Nice vidio upload. But I didn't see the GPS module in your unboxing so I Don't know if the unit is capable. Did you retain all the features on the steering wheel? Thanks!
Son's friend really likes it. But you should hook up the microphone. She says she has to speak really loud without it. I think you can add the lines on the backup camera (?) . I don't remember about GPS outside of CarPlay, you can check the specs on the provided in video description. Haven't tried usb to play music, but the beauty of carplay is playing music through your phone and having a nice interface.
I decided on a soft top roll-up on my Maverick for one reason. You can utilize the full bed because it rolls up all the way to the window. With tri-folds you lose the front part of the bed if you are hauling something taller than the cover. With a short 4 1/2' bed I need all the space I can get. Edit- AND he mentions that near the end after I already commented... 👍
missed the most important aspect what was the charging speed?????
Is that a mic on your hat? put it somewhere else next time, it is so distracting.
The Rav4 Prime and NX are the same car with the same chassis, driveline and hard points, so it basically comes down to which you prefer for trim and ride. The great thing about the commonality, is many mechanical spare parts will be cheaper then you would expect for a Lexus, as they are the same parts as the Rav4 range. One of the reasons the car is on my shopping list for my next car as I keep my cars long term.
I enjoy your videos! The tool that came with the packaging-it's to help tuck the sides of the bottom seats covers in the hard plastic sides of the seat 😎👊
Great video. Hardest part was using enough force to remove the plastic trim without breaking it. The rest is cake and is basically the same installation on 23+ RX350. Slightly disappointed with the camera quality however. But at least it’s wire free and looks OEM.
You sir are magic! Thank you.
We plugged everything in right and plugged it into the back up light and nothing is going
Make sure you connect the back up camera wire . Another viewer had the same issue and connected the wrong wire.
Is there any way of setting for camera in the head unit?
Hey! Just a question, what size was the socket extension you were using for this installation? Only thing left for me is to buy an extension and I’m afraid of getting a short one.
6 inch should be enough
Generally, a 4-car comparison would involve all 4 cars. I thought your video title is misleading.
Thanks! Nice video. I have a 2022 XL and this might be the perfect solution.
I may try this setup with a Rev tent
really appreciate this video, just got my first car (an element) and need to replace the radio because it’s broken, I was looking into a carplay one and this video is very helpful
Install is the same, but this one has a bigger display if you are willing to pay a bit more. ua-cam.com/video/0in4IR9IT_M/v-deo.html
So is the microphone for when you do phone calls? I didn’t install mine bcuz you didn’t think you would need it but now I’m wondering if I should have because I’m told I sound far away on phone calls
Yes, it would be used for phone calls. If your voice is sounding far, I would try the mic.
Does it interrupt the parking sensors and watch
I don't believe it affects those things.
How do you connect wireless CarPlay? I had iPhone 13 with lightning cable then upgraded to iPhone 15 forcing to get new cable. USB a to usb c. Now radio doesn’t switch in CarPlay with new cable.
Silly question, but why not just connect CarPlay wireless? I actually have never used my cable. I have an iPhone 15
@ how?
@@joeremixofficial connect through your phone's bluetooth.
hey! i just got this with a case from temu. the fit is fine but there is a little bit of gap. and i didnt understand ur instruction as to which way should i bend the lever. i u can make a vedio about that thanks
Try bending one way, if improves you went the right directions. If it gets worse , try other direction.
Mine has steering wheel buttons can i still use the volume stering wheel buttons or can i only use the screen
sorry, I don't have any experience to share.
As a corolla owner never mount phone holder on dash "leather" part because it will rip off or that part will be lose when you try to remove it
Teslas are too plain, plus I just don’t like Elon lol. I agree with your wife - I want more plush. I currently have car fever and the NXh is my top pick so far. I may consider the plug in also. Good video, thanks!
The Tesla Y is still a great car. They are EVERYWHERE for a reason. haha
They look great. Thanks for sharing
Unfortunately, it is now NOT AVAILABLE @ Amzn
I just bought one from their website and will get it in a week
in stock now.
I followed this exactly, but the unit doesn't power on! I tested the unit straight to the battery, which works fine and turns on, but it doesn't work when wired up to the car. No power at all to the unit. Any idea of things I can check/try? Thank you!
sounds like the connections to power and/or ground are bad. I would double check the connections. Do you have a volt meter? Make sure it is ~12v across those lines. If you read 12v then check the ACC 12v line to make sure it is 12v when the key is turned. Good luck
Got it to work, the issue was I had blown both car fuses that go to the radio! I think I did this by trying wires in the wrong places but then got a multimeter and made sure I was connecting the correct wires. This was an awesome tutorial video and really clear to follow along to! I've never really done much electrical things so appreciate you going through every step so clearly. Got it all working perfectly in the end!
@@mikmikeohappy to help!
Stupid ass Mazda makes it so difficult! Thank you for a great video though
it does seem harder than it should be. But, it is worth the effort to get CarPlay.
