CoPilot with USB

This one goes to Legsmaniac, our CoPilot expert here..

I have a Honda Civic 2015 non navi Edition, with android 4.0.4.

I used iGO (kind of slow + sound problems), Sygic (great, but with its eternal play services problem), Waze (great, provided you have always on internet), Magic Earth (decent, sometimes needs reinstall because it fails to see the maps on the usb).

I installed CoPilot and I am pretty happy with how it works. I chose to download the "Benelux" map. Downloaded voices and cameras too. It works great and no more hassle with the damned play services issues that other navi have.

1. I took out the usb and checked it on the computer the other day. I was surprised to see that there's no CoPilot folder there, no com.alk.CoPilot. etc. I reckon it downloaded all and stored it on the Honda internal storage. How can I force it to move everything to usb:confused: since I will have to download the full Europe map, which is bigger than 4 giga; I thought that it was all automatic.

2. I have the old "navigation that screams at me" problem. I tried to enter the hidden menu, but in my case it goes to the task manager.. maybe I am doing it wrong. When I get there, what do I have to look for?

Thanks!
[Security Discussion] :
i will add one more.

3. CoPilot is always full volume no matter what. I can mute everything but CoPilot is always at the maximum volume, It's screaming at me :D anything we can do there?
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
Alas, it's not possible to install to SD with 4.0.4, it has to be Android 4.4 or higher, I believe. However, there IS a way........ CLICK HERE

I thought mine did install to USB but it must have been the app on my phone I recalled installing to SD. Sorry about that. However, since I only need the UK map, I have no problems.

Come again? You've lost me.

Go back to Honda Permissions, check the Sound Out and save. Volume will now work.

Can somebody help me to copy Navigon cards on usb? I have slow WLAN and the download lasts 10 hrs. Is it possible to copy the files on USB and pt it in my car? Navigon works on connect
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
Do you have a link?
[Security Discussion] rhartinger:
No. But I can download maps with my cell phone. The Navigon App is free in Amazon underground
[Security Discussion] :
Doesn't work. Only thing that changed now is that copilot mutes the radio, and i start the radio, the radio kill copilot

Somene has used maps.me or, better, OsmAnd?
[Security Discussion] Manfred.62:
maps.me

I tried maps.me just some minutes ago. It works!

Starting the first time it needs to be online for downloading at least one map. Afterwards you can move the map in the settings. Other maps on the usb will then be recognized. Seems to be more easier to handle than the other navigation-apps.

But the look of the maps is a little bit ... oldstyle. Need to do some test.
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
Now go back to Honda Permissions and uncheck it again.

I just checked in my car to remind myself what I did and that was it. Bearing in mind that my Head Unit has the soft touch volume control, my control stayed on after I unchecked the permission so I was able to control the volume, and the radio works as normal. Of course, if your Head Unit is different and you have the push button volume controls, probably won't make much difference, not sure.
[Security Discussion] nixuspix:
Mate, can you explain please in normal language what ytou are talking about?

What is the check /uncheck in Honda Permissions? What is soft touch volume control?:crying:
[Security Discussion] welschi82:
Hello Guys,

I've followed this thread since I've bought a CR-V in march this year and I can only say BIG THANKS to all of you, but my full respect goes to S_Mike for his excellent work with his app. You really made this HU work that way its meant to.

I use CoPilot Live and as backup I also installed MagicEarth and both work perfectly.

The volume of the navigation can be set at the HU-settings (not android-settings), system and there is a point "volume" above the "peep". I set this to "1" and this only affects the navigation volume permanently. :good:

I think this was mentioned in this thread some pages before... I read the whole thread, this should be done by every one!!! :p

Keep up the good work!
[Security Discussion] pisicuta:
Can you please explain what that really means?:confused: Some step by step explanation would be ideal!
[Security Discussion] antonionni1:
Whitc version? The last one needs Android 4.1, the maps of the previous one are not available any more ...

PS: OSMand are very good ... but the last version, even if needs Android 4.0, crashes the installation task. Why??
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
My reply was to [MENTION=3548762]anubisg1[/MENTION] who should understand what I'm talking about. ;)
[Security Discussion] nixuspix:
Ouch, i'm so sorry, didn't think, that this forum is for You and anubisg1
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
Of course it is, and everyone else. ;)

If you really want to know what it's about then read back at the question anubsig1 asked and my replies. Simples. :silly: :p
[Security Discussion] welschi82:
Ok, so just press "Home". Then there should be "settings" anywhere. Press it and then there should be various options, please press "system". There is the 4. point named "volume" -> with this you set the navigation volume. I set this to "1" as its loud enoufh for me.

Just try it. :)
[Security Discussion] Beck511:
Did anyone ever figure out what permissions to change for HDMI while driving?
[Security Discussion] Manfred.62:
With MagicEarth you have to stay with the old version. But then the "old single file" maps won't be updated anymore I suspect?

OsmAnd looks very interesting. Lot of different files/maps to choose from.

You can download the maps on the desktop pc: http://download.osmand.net/rawindexes/

I installed it on my smartphone. One can set the path to external storage. Then found it under 'sdcard0/Android/data/net.osmand/files'

What error message you got while installing OsmAnd?
[Security Discussion] antonionni1:
Right, the problem is that the old maps are not available any more, so if you don't have one, you cannot use M.E!!

For this reason, now I'm using OsmAnd: FANTASTIC!!!!

I'm trying to translate from italian ... "The application installation has blocked abnormally".

But after a few attempts I have installed the last nightly-build version even if I have that message (at the end in this case), copying the file directly on a HU and doubleclick on it ...

All works fine, but not the voice: it seems that is TTS problem: there is no voice during the test under Android Settings => Language and Input / Text-to-speech options.

Do you have any idea?
[Security Discussion] Manfred.62:
Install the old version on your smartphone and don't update. Then you get the old maps again.

Hmm, maybe you need to install the com.google.android.tts app additionally? Somewhere I found the info this version of tts is working:

com.google.android.tts_3.9.11-210309110_minAPI15(armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk

How do you get your maps for OsmAnd? Same procedure like on smartphone, downloading at least one map online in the car and move it to the usb? After that copy the other files into the folder?

Sometimes I pray Honda will hire an experienced Android developer. This Honda Fujitsu Connect is such a crap :rolleyes: Could be a really good unit otherwise.
[Security Discussion] rhartinger:
I installed copilot 9.4.0.144. When I want to open it nothing happens. Is this the wrong version?
[Security Discussion] antonionni1:
The problem is I don't have all maps I need ... and anyway you cannot upgrade the maps.

So, the OsmAnd is 100times better than M.E., the problem doesn't exist! :D

In the HU there are all files, and also in the settings ... I think the problem is another

I downloaded the maps I need (also the 1st) on a PC from the same link in your previous message, and then I copied in a folder I chosen in a HU (/mnt/sdcard/osmand).

Yes, as I have always said, is a good unit programmed badly
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
You haven't set the Honda Permissions.
[Security Discussion] antonionni1:
BTW, what's the Process/Package names of Honda Permissions?
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
com.alk.copilot.eumarket.premiumeupan
[Security Discussion] antonionni1:
No, I mean Mike's Honda Permissions
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
The name for the Honda Permissions apk itself?

AFAIK, you don't need to set the permissions for that. I certainly haven't.
[Security Discussion] Manfred.62:
not sure, couldn't find the info again. com.xda_user.honda.permissions is the name of the backup folder. Think, you can look into the system to find the correct name?
[Security Discussion] rhartinger:
Copilot starts and crashes after I accept my Email to register
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
Have you set the Honda Permissions for CoPilot?

Too many people are reporting that CoPilot is not starting/crashing/showing a black screen when trying to run it.

If you haven't set the Honda Permissions first before attempting to run CoPilot, you WILL experience the above.
[Security Discussion] antonionni1:
I want to listen music when I use the Mike's app ... :D

I prefere trying with the installed version, do you have any idea??

EDIT: I solved with Pico TTS: with Honda Permission, you have to find the voice com.svox.pico (it's 1-2 screens before the end), and then put the flag on Sound Int
[Security Discussion] rhartinger:
Yes

I set it to

com.alk.copilot.eumarket.premiumeupan
[Security Discussion] :
This WORKED! thank you!

this thread is extremely long. I would suggest to edit the first post (or new sticky thread) with a small summary of how this works. :)
[Security Discussion] :
that didn't work though :(

btw, i found the copilot version that doesn't need play services, is based on a key for activation ;)
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
The version on CMHonda (which I use) doesn't need Play Services. :eek:
[Security Discussion] :
I meant, latest Copilot version without play services :)

https://copilotgps.com/store/com.alk.copilot.alkdirect.apk

It needs an activation Key though .. but for that a key generator (or a crack ;) ) should do it
[Security Discussion] Manfred.62:
Will give OsmAnd a try.

Can you please describe exactly what folder or structure is needed for the map-files on the usb-stick?

On smartphone OsmAnd place the files under this path: "/Android/data/net.osmand/files/". Like written above, you only created a folder named /osmand ?

Do you first made folder on stick with maps inside and then installed OsmAnd? Does it recognize the path and files automatically?

Thanks for infos

Manfred
[Security Discussion] antonionni1:
On HU I first installed the free version that created the folder on an internal SD (.../osmand)

Inside this folder, I copied the map files from the pen.

I used the pen only for copy the map file from the pc to the HU.

Then, I uninstalled the free version and installed the nightly build of a plus version (I had an error that I wrote before, but the installation is successful).

At the 1st start, I got a message that asked me if I want to merge the two folders (the old one and the new), and I said yes, so I kept the folder /osmand.

I think you can create what folder you want on a pen, if you want to use it for your maps, you simply specify that folder on OsmAnd (settings => general settings => data folder).

PS: excuse me for my english!!

Hi,

same problem... maps updated but old magic eartrh not update maps. As magic earth uses openstreetmap data.. i love yo use magic earth but now there is a problem with old maps... I found that "maps.me" navigation app also uses openstreetmap data.. i tested it on my iphone and its OK.. do you know any way to install maps.me android application on to Honda Connect? My android usage is very low and know almost nothing about how to get apk file etc... I think i should find a version of maps.me that also works on android 4.0.4... any suggestions?
[Security Discussion] Manfred.62:
maps.me

Maps.me works. See post #1084. You can download the apk from https://apkpure.com/

How to install apk's on the HU? Please read the thread. It's very helpful!

[Security Discussion] Manfred.62:
installation problem

did I already said that I hate this Honda Connect crap..? Tried to install and test OsmAnd.

But no chance to install anything. Sometimes the unit is searching long, and then "Sorry, the app 'install' was closed". Sometimes the app on the pendrive was recognized, but touching it for installation... "Sorry, the app 'install' was closed". Then tried it inside EsFileExplorer. Here the same "Sorry, EsFileExplorer was closed".

Maybe the pendrive is a problem? Tried 3 sticks. What a bull**** is this? Any hints to solve the problem?

I know, I can do a factory reset. But then all the installations and configs had to be done again...
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
The answer is simple - stop playing around!!! :laugh:

I found the same problems the more I experimented with installing and trying out apps.

In the end, I got so fed up with it that I did one final reset and settled upon just the apps I needed/wanted and that's it! No more!

Now, whenever I see anyone recommending/urging I try out this new map or app - NO THANK YOU! :laugh:

Seriously, enough is enough for me. I have what I need and at the end of the day, a SatNav was all that was needed for most all of us anyway.

We got that. Be happy! :)

iGO navi instalation

Hello,

I try to instal iGO Primo navigation, basically already done, but I have a problem with voice. Before setting Process in Honda permission the voice was perfect, after settting Process, the voice is cut by some seconds. The voice message is incomplete.

Maybe something with setting to send voice to front left speaker? Do you know what sound settings in Process in Honda Permissions do mean ? Thank you very much for any idea.
[Security Discussion] antonionni1:
The same happened to me with the new release, but after a few attempts, the installation is successful!!

I don0t know why.

However, of you install the version 2.1.1, will be all successful.

I agree, I changed Magic Earth only fot the new maps.
[Security Discussion] jmaniacs:
as the Magic Earth maps not updated so far.. i installed maps.me to try.. but.. i think user interface of magicearth is better than maps.me.. i should use that kind of navis ( because of using openstreetmaps). i prefer sygic etc. but sygic map data of Cyprus is not good at all... so... i installed maps.me 6.3.5 and works good for know.. only thing is maps.me not working on full screen.. any way to make maps.me to use HondaConnect's full screen?
[Security Discussion] nixuspix:
To get iGO working flawlessly for example, with Spotify, select for iGO in HOnda Permissions:

SoundInterrupt: On

SoundInterruptMute: On

same problem with copilot 9.6.4.144. it shows that it can't be verified with google play.

Can anyone help?

---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

which version of copilot do you have on honda?

---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------

you can change the volume: go to settings on your honda connect and there is a volume setting. I personally set it to 2.
[Security Discussion] :
1) you have 2 options:

- use the cracked version from http://cmhonda.net/ (is version 9.4.something)

- use the version from alk website that doesn't use google play (you can install the latest version 9.6.something). It does require a license key though, so you need to look for a crack/key generator on your own https://copilotgps.com/store/com.alk.copilot.alkdirect.apk (p.s. the process name for honda permissions is com.alk.copilot.alkdirect for this version)

2) i use the second option because i legally own a copilot copy for years

3) exactly , that method works. It was suggested by someone else before already, but thanks for pointing it out again

Means, we have to use version 2.1.1 of OsmAnd?
[Security Discussion] antonionni1:
I'm using the 2.3.5 downloaded from here: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdid=net.osmand.plus (now there is also a new version 2.4.4).

After 3 attempts, the installation succed.

Edit:

I remember that you have to copy an apk inside the HU, and then tap on int to install, I don't know why.

Edit 2:

I installed version 2.4.4 the same as "Edit" with non problems ... it is a very good navi! (here the maps: http://download.osmand.net/road-indexes/)
[Security Discussion] Manfred.62:
OsmAnd

Thanks Antonio,

now I got it! My way of installing OsmAnd:

downloaded version 2.3.5 from link above, renamed it and copied it in ESFileExplorer /download folder.

In this folder long press to mark the app, then in the menu (top right) choose "Install"... waiting... installation... done!

In the settings you can choose the path for the osmand files. Changed it from mnt/sdcard/osmand/osmand to mnt/sdcard/usbdrive/osmand/osmand. Confirm the message "Should all files moved to..?". Ready.

Now I will do the update 2.4.4, download all maps, the voice and so on.

Last question in the moment: the voice has to be placed under osmand/osmand/voice ? These are a lot of .ogg files.
[Security Discussion] antonionni1:
I have not downloaded any voice, I believe they are present in the apk.

PS: before installing the new version, I have uninstalled the old one.
