This did not work for me. The radar is not blocked, it is having a system issue. I was able to press and hold the button and activate cruise mode but when I press the set button it doesn’t act like old school cruise control. It basically didn’t do anything but show it is in cruise mode now.
Argh! Sounds like a stop at your local dealer might be in order. As you said it appears to be a system error so I guess we can't be surprised regular cruise didn't work either. Hope it's not too expensive a repair.
My radar was recently stolen off of my newly purchased 2019 Honda Accord and now I’m in the process of getting it replaced. Is there a way to secure this or protect it from theft?
Holy moly dude! What the heck is happening in this world?! I know of no way to actually secure it. The only thing I can think of is using some kind of security screw to lock the unit to the car. Obviously it needs to be done by a pro who will be able to properly align it afterwards. I doubt this will stop a determined thief, but who knows? Personally, outside of booby trapping the car, I doubt anything can be done against a thief who's going after such a "specific" type of item. Sorry about all your troubles. 🥺
I live in east Tennessee but unfortunately we rarely see snow anymore due to global warming which is a bummer but knowing how to clear the warning and use the standard cruise control is good information. In my 9 months of Insight ownership I've gotten spoiled with Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keep Assist, I wouldn't want to own another car without those features.
Unfortunately issues like that need to be handled by a qualified car repair facility. It could be a faulty radar or just a misaligned radar. Without the proper tools to read the codes there is no way to tell which.
Depends on the situation. I would have it checked by the Honda dealer to make sure you don't have a brake problem. If you're just talking about the word "Brake" flashing in the console sometimes while driving then you might be having a false brake alert from the car's safety system. This can happen for various reasons including the system mistaking shadows and such on the road at times as obstacles. There is little you can do about this since it's just a false response from an overly finicky safety system.
I watched the video and I ain’t paying! Honda should put a deicer on the radar like aircrafts have. Maybe we should can and sell deicing solution...haha.
In New York thieves are stealing radar sensor which is located at the front bumper of Honda Accord 2021 .my friend has lost one yesterday dealer is asking $850 and to put in according to dealer needs software update which is extra $400 .is there any cheap way to avoid dealer ? Is it really needs software update
Do a Google search. You can probably find one from a crashed accord or one for wholesale. It looks like they go for around $200 or less used. You will need it aligned properly for it to work. That might be the "software update" they are referring to. They are definitely charging a premium.
Thanks for the useful information. Now I know how to use regular cruise control.
Yeah a lot of people miss this little trick.
I needed to know where the radar was.
Thanks a lot this helped!
Glad it helped you out.
first check if the sensor is not obstructed, in my case it worked by calibrating the tires and moving forward a few meters
All good advice.👍

If there's no snow around then go mudding! You'll get the alert then. That and a tow. ;)
My Honda insight have problem with radar lane setting is out

It happens to my insight every time it's snowing. lol
Well at least you can easily clean it. I'm having the same trouble with my Fusion now and I can't even get to the radar to clean it off. :(
My brake system light turns on too is that normal too ?

There doesn't seem to be any real solutions out there for this problem.
@@verdier400 Spray some RainX on it? Would that work?
@@verdier400 Try Spraying some RainX on it.
Doubt it would. You really need heat down there.
i love you
Omg! If only I wasn't taken by the chickens! 🤪

Can you believe that?! Funny as hell!
Verdier 400 actually had me shook tbh. Crazy
You don’t use cruise in snowstorms
