I got snes working on my car, Snes9ex+. I use two USB controllers through my USB connections on my crv.

You need to get the packagename of the app. You need to check the appversion you downloaded.

Example:

com.explusalpha.Snes9xPlus

Try this one:

Download Snes9x EX+ for android 4.0.3

Download free Snes9x EX+ 1.5.82 for your Android phone or tablet, file size: 1.52 MB, was updated 2024/13/05 Requirements:android: 2.3 Gingerbread or above

snes9x-explus.apk.gold

Install roms through filemanager of your choice.

I can take a picture of my permissions for snes when I get the chance.
[Security Discussion] Zilkapod:
Thanks mate!

Which version would you suggest getting on that site?

Thanks so much for the reply.

I wanted to install spotify, waze and snes - but ive found spotify is SUPER slow and Waze i need internet connection for... :( . . and i'll have to download all my music offline on spotify,, so not much point in using those apps unless i hotspot everytime i drive, which i really would rather not..

So i guess i'll just use normal garmin maps and snes. :L
[Security Discussion] borba0:
Since I have my Honda Jazz 2016, I bought internet router (cost about 8 euro per month). So, the net is driving with me everythere, even abroad. 100 Gb is the amount, that I cannot use in any situation.
[Security Discussion] Latinofreaks:
I think I went with the armeabi-v7. But can't remember for sure. Doesn't actually harm anything if you try installing it. It just won't open if it's the wrong version. But I'm pretty sure it's the right one. 🙂

I also use Osmand+ with downloaded maps. I downloaded maps on my phone and then transferred them to the Headunit. It works very well. But the interface isn't as sharp as other GPS. But it does the job offline. It also shows speedsigns and streetsigns in app.

Copilot is a good GPS if you live in Europe. Just turn of the speedlimits. Because they aren't up to date. It works offline too.

The Spotify app is slow, it's easier to use the Bluetooth.

I'm currently using the "android auto" app that was posted further back in this forum. Its not finished. But it works really good once you tweak it a bit. You get Spotify, Google maps, waze etc. In you HU by connecting your phone through USB.
[Security Discussion] ittim:
I've been reading about android auto with interest despite being on RC8 and not having got around to downgrading yet but I noticed the mention of Audio Stutter with maps. Now when I used Mirror Link with RockScout and Sygic I had exactly the same issue so I don't think its an issue with the Android auto development, more like a resources issue with the head unit perhaps?
[Security Discussion] borba0:
First impressions: it works! I've got an interaction with my Honda via USB cable. Still impressed, WOW

Maki

First look: it works! I've been able to connect my SGS20 to HU and interact with my screen! WOW! Also Google Assistant asks me, what I want to do! MaKi83, great job! Thanks a lot!

Some troubles (first version would not cooperate with AndroidAuto app in my smartphone), but now for some minutes of using I'm just happy!

One remarks: to start app working, it is (in my case) necessary to run the car (engine on). In other conditions, the app will not start to connect with the smartphone.
[Security Discussion] borba0:
OK, some more remarks:

As I wrote, to run in proper way, it should be the first to start app (with engine on), then connect smartphone.

I suppose, it is not clear, but ticking all checkbox as "marked" could kill the proper way of working this app.

It was necessary to uninstall app, check the rest with CClean and install once more.

After that, sometimes it is normal, that app hang on and nothing you can do with your smartphone.

But when it starts, it going!

As I was awaiting, when the ignition is off, also AA is off. As now, I can say, it could not start again (start button is inactive).

But of course, Google Maps works perfect.

It was curiously, that saying "OK Google", system (I think) was ready to react, but today it was not to much time to check all these functions.

Of course, I'm very sorry for my "spam" in this thread ;)
[Security Discussion] MaKi83:
Glad to know it's working.

I know there are many things that should be fixed, first of all the management of usb device. But the android version we have really sucks.

To be honest I've never tested the app with engine off, so I have nothing to say. But have you checked if, with engine off, the phone is in charge? (just to know if the usb port is working).

The headunit, at least in my HRV, doesn't have microphone so the assistant cannot work. If you say "OK google" and it reacted I think was the smartphone.
[Security Discussion] borba0:
Thanks, MaKi83, for your fast answer.

You got microphone in your headunit because of the bluetooth answering system in Honda Connect ;)

Of course, when the key is in first position in your ignition switch, smartphone is in charge and usb port is also working.

Now, I wonder, how to play youtube from Android Auto?

I could not to find how to prepare shortcut on my HU?

And in smartphone also can not find this one.
[Security Discussion] MaKi83:
Honda connect use the phone's microphone to answer call via hfp protocol, the app don't use it so it cannot access smartphone microphone.

Youtube on androidauto is not permitted by google (youtube doesn't have an androidauto interface), only youtube music. There are other apps to see youtube videos on androidauto like CarTube
[Security Discussion] borba0:
Thank's a lot!

But what the hell it is for?
[Security Discussion] MaKi83:
I don't know, but when I check programmatically if the system has microphone, android return false.
[Security Discussion] borba0:
OK.

MaKi83, I'm so very, very, very thankful, that you do it!

The most important thing, which I just confirmed, is SMS text on the screen!

With all infos from smartphone, including photo of contact, stored in smartphone.

You are great!

Of course, there is malfunction, in my opinion, because when someone is calling, the app is under phone app (visible on the top bar on the HC screen), but I could not to restore it to normal functionality. Is this possible? Or maybe I cannot to find, how to?
[Security Discussion] MaKi83:
Yes I know, I don't figured it out yet why the app closes on call because when switch to/from rear camera it restores correctly.
[Security Discussion] borba0:
My last discovery: when you attempt to connect phone to Honda Connect via cable and the start button (in enabled MaKi83's Android Auto app) is not active (light blue colour), try to tap the USB icon on the left side of the screen. Even if there is only USB icon (not the name of the connected smartphone), it could help to gain access to the Android Auto features.

In my case it helps.
[Security Discussion] Latinofreaks:
A thing hat made makis app work a bit faster was to use 30 fps instead of 60 fps.
[Security Discussion] borba0:
In which app?

Or in all the system apps?
[Security Discussion] Latinofreaks:
In makis android auto app. If you go to setting you will se it is set to 60 fps. It's unnecessary, try the 30 fps and I noticed it worked a bit faster with Spotify and in the menu in the android auto app.
[Security Discussion] benfleet5:
Agreed, this makes the app so much more useable!

I have rigged an old Android and tethered my iPhone to work and the operation works so well. As we know calls come through the original HU but reconnects (at least for me) straight away! @MaKi83 you've done a brilliant job, you really have!

Also side note, the app icon is great too!
[Security Discussion] Latinofreaks:
Can you give me the permissions you use? Because mine doesn't reconnect after a phone call. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? 😅
[Security Discussion] borba0:
No. This is not your wrong behaviour.

As far as I can well remember, MaKi93 wrote some days ago, that it is one of the unsolved problem yet.
[Security Discussion] Latinofreaks:
Well it doesn't hurt to share permissions. Just to compare.
[Security Discussion] borba0:
Of course. I,ve prepared it in this way.

Rest is like in any navigation app: 0 0 1 1 1 0 0.

Although I am not passing audio through the app, I am keeping the bluetooth usage apart to send music, etc.
[Security Discussion] emilic:
Do pay attention... I did have some issues with other apps and it tuned out that I had not put the same package and process name... i had a typing error on one of them... and bim that screws up your configuration.
[Security Discussion] Latinofreaks:
Yeah I would like to play music from my Bluetooth. But I have been having problems, because the app forced the sound to go through the app. Even when I didn't use the sound out option. The Bluetooth sound also disconnected, but started functioning when I disconnected the phone.

I will try your settings. Thanks! 🙏🏽
[Security Discussion] Damm89:
Hola colegas, ¿cómo podría usar la aplicación Android Auto junto con audio directo desde bluetooth o fm? con las indicaciones gps y con la música por separado sería un gran logro.
[Security Discussion] emilic:
Hey we try to keep this forum in English ^^

Pero, sigue los permisos que puse en mi post anterior. Son para tener el audio desde bluetooth (creo yo que funcionara tambien para FM) y android auto de forma separada.
[Security Discussion] Damm89:
Lo siento,

I'm sorry mate, the browser's automatic translator messed me up. I have been testing configurations for days, including yours and it has not worked well for me. I have managed to get bluetooth and gps audio to work separately but everything sounds from the left speaker.
[Security Discussion] emilic:
aaa yes, that is the only downside :( cant manage to get all the sounds from all the speakers...

Well false, I actually managed once. But i was using a different phone to send the information to android auto, and my phone in the bluetooth sound... weirdly (dont know why or how) i got bluetooth sound on all speakers while having android auto running.

Hi, does anyone one know if its possible to delete the Garmin folder with the maps? Not loading in my Civic and seems to be from corrupt map data. Thanks.
[Security Discussion] borba0:
I'm this unhappy guy, who is an owner of the Honda Jazz 2016 model without onbard navigation (Garmin). The app is present in the system, but I'm not sure, if it is possible and safe to remove it completely.

But, I also didn't try to delete.
[Security Discussion] emilic:
I deleted it... the app I mean... as I am not using it in my HR-V...

So you can delete it, no idea how to recover it or solve your issue but I did remove it.
[Security Discussion] efjay:
Thanks, did you manually delete the app files or just uninstall? I have tried uninstall many times but the map data still persists.
[Security Discussion] emilic:
I just uninstalled the application from the android settings. Deleted all data and remove app.
[Security Discussion] efjay:
Ok thanks, hasnt worked for me so far so still on the hunt for a solution.

[Security Discussion] tigreleo:
Hi. This is a great thread. Has been going on for years. Congrats to all who have contributed.

I own a 2017 HRV with an ID code 6vp3 and I´m wanting to upgrade to RC8 without Factory data reset, to be able to install new SW besides Waze and Spotify which I already have.

Now that ID code is not listed on the Update Matrix; only 6vp1 and 6vp4, and a NA which I don´t know what it means. I´ve been doing my research but haven´t found an answer. Can anyone tell me which are the correct files to use for my vehicle? Many thanks
[Security Discussion] emilic:
Hey there, I think mine was something like 6VP0...

I ended up going into the settings system and checking the android version, the tegra versions, and the FW version, which gave me a better idea of what I was running and if it was compatible (using the matrix information).

Once I detected that my versions where the exact same as the ones in the matrix I was confident enough to do the downgrade and upgrade... and it all worked :-)
[Security Discussion] tigreleo:
Thx emilic. Yes I thought of that but my files are different to those on the matrix. SH is the same as ID code NA; Tegra EC/NC is similar except for the ending which is ***_T7AA_01 and Tegra is OE.094.00.1123. None of these A2 are listed ...
[Security Discussion] borba0:
Some days ago I saw presentation of Honda Jazz VX version on Youtube.

And I wonder if it could be possible to find the image of the HondaConnect installed in that car.

It seems on this video, that there is an old radio (with many physical buttons, like in old Honda Connect cars) but with the new Android, including AndroidAuto.

Maybe... maybe it could be the best solution to modify our cars with an old IceCreamSandwich-based radio?
[Security Discussion] impulse5:
Hi, Honda CRV owner here :)

@MaKi83, first of all, thank you very very very much for your work :) You have done something I always thought was impossible, to see Android Auto on my Honda Connect :).

It works on my CRV, it's laggy though, I haven't tested the 30fps option yet, I'll try it later.

I just wanted to ask if the version I have (from April 14), is the latest one?

Thanks!!!
[Security Discussion] Silvinjo:
CR-V 2016 owner here with RC6. So, since I'm ****ing hyped up asf rn about AA working, I cant find a freaking thread how to install AA on headunit. Wich commands do I need to type in Permission app ?

Edit: ok, managed to do everything and AA is working... and, I LOVE A GUY THAT MADE THIS, like, this is just huge... There is some bugs but once navigation is working everything works...

So, here I'm gonna list some bugs I've seen for now.

1. It's a little tricky to connect everything, sometimes it crashes 5x in a row and sometimes it just connect insantly.

2. Google Maps are not really accurate, its lagging behind (idk if it matters, but I've set the app to 30 fps) and its like turning into the street even I'm going forward. Waze works perfectly.

3. When I'm playing YT Music and navigation tells me to turn left/right, I can hear music like lag a bit, once navigation finishes talking its back to normal.
[Security Discussion] impulse5:
It's somewhere in this thread, but here it is:

Enter: it.smg.hu as process and package name. Then select NAVI. Video Out: OFF, SoundOut: ON, LastMode: ON.

In my case, even setting the 30fps option the UI is still laggy :(
[Security Discussion] Silvinjo:
Yeah I got it, tho, I've changed "AuthType" to "ThirdParty" cuz I've seen someone said it...

The lag is my least concern right now, the only thing rn is me trying to fix music cutting up when google maps or waze is main focus on screen (gotta say that when switching music in YT Music is laggy, it takes like 5sec to load next song)

So after a bit more testing.. Google Maps works okay now (it doesnt lag or die out anymore) tho, when using Google Maps and listening to music via Youtube Music, music is alot more stuttery then on Waze, but still it happens on Waze too (sometimes it works good for few mins, and sometimes its just cutting for 5-10 seconds wich is kinda annyoing, tho when I put main focus on YTMusic there is no lag anymore), tho I'm not sure what did I put on "AppType", I'm 98% sure its Multimedia but gotta check it tommorow. Does anyone else has that problem ?

Edit: was playing with it a bit, seems that I have fixed the problem... The problem was Bluetooth, so, I guess Audio was going thru Bluetooth, but it should have been going thru cable, so, since I cant disable bluetooth (it always turns back on when connected to AA), I went into my car bluetooth settings (Honda HFT) and disabled "Media Audio", since then I didnt experience stutters. Also fixed that YT Music was laggy when I needed to switch the song (it took atleast 5sec), now it switches song instantly.

And this is pretty much I wanted, Google Maps GPS is working really good, sat maps and live traffic works very well, Waze worked from day 1 as intended, Youtube Music works perfectly and it no longer stutters when I'm focused on Waze/Google Maps, Spotify also works without stutters (even I dont use it, but tested it).

Oh yeah, and switched AuthType in Honda Permission to Preinstall, everything seems to be working good right now.

MaKi83, you're legend and thank you for this awesome app.

2nd Edit: music started stuttering after some time again :/
[Security Discussion] NoveLah:
Can you be specific?

What did you disable in Bluetooth?

Any permissions changes?
[Security Discussion] Silvinjo:
Scratch it. It worked good for like 5km ride and it started again, we will probably need to wait for new update that could take some time sadly.

Hello!

Does anyone knows about a reset script for the Honda unit ?

Not even sure this exist for our unit, but in the pilot honda units (similar honda connect but not quite, they have 4.2.x lucky them) their unit resets by using a reset script that they can find under system/etc/factory_reset.sh

But with my bad root system I did not find such file...

Anyone knows if this exist or can check see if you have it ?

Cheers and thanks!

(i've also read about a 3 button pressing factory reset combination... but no one says what is this 3 button and I have not seen anything about that...)
[Security Discussion] borba0:
Did you try this method?

How to recover your system if it fails to start – Honda Hack

www.autohack.org

Or pressing Power+Menu+Lighting during 5 seconds?
[Security Discussion] emilic:
Yes tried that script and nothing (its not for our console)... but its currently the clue I am working with, although not sure if the system is actually reading the script or not ^^ :p

(hence me looking for the script of our system, if it exists)

I've pressed the 3 buttons which in theory take me to the diagnostics advanced settings but nothing :( I think its only available when the system boots.

I am stuck in the infinite H loop.

Here they say it can be repaired, but sadly they dont say how to do it :(
[Security Discussion] borba0:
What about disconnect the battery?

Did you try?
[Security Discussion] emilic:
Yup, the system is connected externally ^^ so no car, no battery :-p

I've have plugged it in, unplugged it, drained all the energy, etc...

Its my test unit that I recovered from another user and I am trying to revive
[Security Discussion] borba0:
Under such settings I've made in my HU (see below), now I can say:

1. Phone (SGS20) looks like it could see, that Android Auto is on, besides of the fact, that phone is not connected via ccable, only via bluetooth. There is a message on the top of the phone screen like "Connect your phone to the Android Auto).

2. When I connect phone via cable, I need two times tap on the screen to connect. Abot 50% ends with crash of the app.

3. Unfortunately for me, with these setting there is no sound besides of the Google Maps commands; it means, there is no radio playing from Honda Unit or, for example, MP3 from USB stick.

4. With these setting, Google Maps says all the messages about you trip, even if the trip is long (e.g. 150 km), no crushing of the app noticed.

5. Of course, the button of YouTubeMusic on the Honda Unit screen is not fully working: it is possible to tap, but it doesn't do antyhing.

6. If I run YouTubeMusic from the phone, as previously some of members wrote, there is jamming of the sound and after some seconds, the app is crushing.

7. The same is with radio app in phone.
[Security Discussion] emilic:
Well still no luck...

But i just learned that if you rename any file in your usb to ADA_usbdl.zip it will be loaded by the boot up system...

That said, I've tried modifying the ZIP files with other commands, or even just uncompressing it and recompressing it... and the system detects the modification and does not load the file ^^...
[Security Discussion] BobaJet:
MaKi83, thanks for the brilliant work you are doing making this AA for the Honda Radios. I am running your latest I believe (14th Apr 22).​

My comments are similar to others so I won't repeat too much.

- Connecting requires as stated the double acceptance and can have an issue if it fails. I've found closing all on TM and starting again with the phone plugged in first fixes the issue.

- Some level of lag when moving up and down the screen etc which i expect is hardware and android version but wanted to state just the same.

- I do have a mic, FK2. Is there anyway in which you're able to enable mic pickup for calls as usually I have hands free via the Honda connect but lose it with the AA.

Info: FK2 Radio VRC6

Again thanks for the work man, you're doing us all a massive solid!

[Security Discussion] Tasnády:
Hello All,

an enthusiastic fan from hungary :) I've been reading the forum for a long time and now I finally had time to start installing some apps.

Since 2015 we have a Civic IX Tourer with the following software.

According to comment #3086 after the factory reset i have installed the Honda Permissions app from usb stick and it is running well.

Actually I have two problems:

1. As shown in the attached picture, that Waze does not want to install anymore, the install button is grayed out., what could be the problem? Preinstall is set in honda Permissions app.

2. The browser does not want to install any *.apk, although the app from external source is enabled. From USB Stick it installed smoothly with honda permissions

I also looked at downgrade but could not find my version number to see which RC release it would be.

Thanks in advance for your help

[Security Discussion] emilic:
Hello!

well several things...

First of all, I would recommend that you double and tripple check that your honda navigation system is the one of this thread.... There are different honda navigations systems running different versions of Android... from the colors and form of your navigation system you may have the civic one that can actually be rooted and has android higher than 4.0.4

Maybe check the configurations and versions from the android settings, and from the special diagnostic system (usually if you are in the same navigation system as us you can get to it by holding : "MENU"+"Day/Night"+"POWER")

Since it seems that you were able to install the honda permissions app, then I would suggest that you check that the hondaappcenter_a1 app has the right permissions and its written down correctly...

Finally, do check that you are trying to install an APK that is in the version of your android (you can not install an android 12 apk only with our android 4.0.4 unit... will not work)
[Security Discussion] benfleet5:
I don't think there is a Civic 9th Gen that has a higher version of Android than 4.0.4? Happy to be proved wrong?
[Security Discussion] emilic:
aaa to be honest I am not a Civic expert ^^ no idea to which years the civic 9th gen depend on..

but for those who are running an android above 4.0 and their navigation system is physically similar to the ones we see here, there is this thread that can help with root (for honda civic 2017...).
