Hi All,

I have just gotten a 2020 Honda HR-V in the UK, and it seems they still don't have Apple Carplay or Android Auto (even though the US models do from 2019 onwards).

So I find myself wanting to install apps like Waze, but after watching many videos and reading a few step by steps here none of them seem to directly relate to the setup in my car, so any help getting a few apps installed will be appreciated. I have attached a picture of the "About device" screen from my head unit, from that I can't really tell what version this is on.

[IMG="Honda HR-V 2020 Head Unit Version"]https://i.imgur.com/0Vx2lb8.jpg[/IMG] or https://imgur.com/a/57OOvVG

Some videos show being able to install things without rooting, which I think would be preferable so I don't have to figure out how to get to the MicroUSB port which looks like it would be a real challenge as I can't see how the head unit comes out easily.

Thanks in Advance

Simple solution: downgrade your system to RC6. Then you can install apps. Use search in this thread for "downgrade". You need the corresponding files for your system. All infos can be found in this thread.

Removing headunit in HRV is about 5 minutes. Open glovebox, pull the upper part carefully, remove cable from emergency-button. Headunit is mounted with 3 screws. There are some videos on youtube.

I'm trying to get CoPilot to work on my 2016 HRV. I have installed it OK (I think!!) and set the permissions but it keeps asking me for a map. When I select the UK maps I am then told that I need to purchase certain extras. I have read that other contributors have managed to get it working so I think that I must have done something wrong. I would really appreciate any help to get it working.

Good day

I faced the same problem as yours

I clicked on boot mode and I can’t get out of it

If you solved this problem - tell me what to do.

With a philips screwdriver....

Joke aside, if you are not comfortable loosening those 4 screws you can always take it to a honda specialist. They would happily unscrew those 4 screws in no time.

Just swallow your pride, you'll be fine.
[Security Discussion] R@d0n:
Have someone any idea, how I can downgrade to RC6?

I tried with all of the 3 files matching to this car on a 16GB USB with FAT32 formated.

I always get this information "USB Problem. Please try again" if one of these 3 files is on the USB stick. If any other file is on the stick, I can play/see the stick. But for sure as long as the permission app is not installed, I can't install anything else from the stick.

Nobody else had this problem with downgrade? If not, wich file was first on the USB and what else was set befor (like usb debbugging or others)?

So I thought I'd share my own experience

2016 Honda Civic RHD - Running RC8 which I upgraded earlier on my own

I tried to follow the guide about rooting but stupidly didn't realise that my unit lcd doesn't fold up and I managed to disable the side buttons.

Turns out it was just a ribbon cable which got disconnected. That ribbon cable is behind about 25 screws and is an absolute pain.

Anyway you can root the non CD versions you just have to take the LCD off the unit.

I ain't got no pictures sorry, so I'll try to describe it.

- Pull down on the plastic under the steering wheel. (It's just held by clips)

- Unscrew the first screw on the left (It holds a long plastic bit running past the gear stick)

- Take out that long plastic bit (After taking out the screw it's just clips again)

- Take out the AC unit behind the gear stick (Again just clips on either side)

- Unscrew the 2 screws behind the AC unit holding the Head unit in place

- Pull on the whole plastic bit, includes 2 air vents and hazard light holding the unit. (Again just clips)

Now you got 2 options:

THIS WILL TRIGGER ANTI-THEFT, YOU MIGHT NEED YOUR RADIO CODE (With these units you can't unlock them online need to take them to Honda dealer)

My unit didn't need the radio code after starting the engine

For some reading look here:

https://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/foru...hscreen-radio-39100-TV1?p=3664146#post3664146

https://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/showthread.php/540041-Fujitsu-Ten-Honda-39100-TV1-E31-M1

- Unplug everything from the back

- Unscrew the unit from the plastic bracket

OR

- Unscrew the head unit from the plastic bracket (More uncomfortable)

- Unscrew the 6 screws holding the display

- Pop the display out (It's held using black clips all around)

Now the display will only be held using the ribbon cable - DON'T BREAK IT

I put my display on top of the unit.

Voila here is your microUSB port ready for rooting (You can just follow the guide that on here already from now on)

Now put everything back together (Unplugging the unit again will trigger anti-theft but it won;t delete any apps)

I managed to install sygic, maps, waze, esfile explorer and chrome except

maps crashes when i click "Start Navigation" (After selecting a destination - works fine if it's not a car i.e. bike)

waze just straight up crashes (Used to load to the map but not actually display the map but then I installed GAPPS as specified in this post)

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68701917&postcount=1211

esfile explorer, sygic and chrome work perfectly fine.

Any clue how to get Maps working nicely or a differnet turn by turn GPS navigation?

[Security Discussion] centuryheli:
Hey buddy.

Sadly no, some have looked into it and deemed the changes to the connections are too much to retrofit in place of the current headunit.

Personally I'm sure it could be done, the canbus and communication should all be the same. But it would be an expensive exercise that nay not work, so no ones really wanted to try.

Mirror link works for me running RC8 and my Note 9, it's not perfect and has the odd hiccup. But unlike past firmware does now work.

The addition of Rockscout allows me better use of my music apps on my phone.

Thanks buddy, downloaded to give this version a try next time I'm in the car.

I found an older revision full version that works ok, but it kept losing my login details. Does this one remember those ok?

Hi all.

From recently I am the EU owner of HRV from 10/2015 with 4.0.4. android on it. I have been reading this topic from start and i managed to read until now first 70 pages and i can not read everything :) ..for now..

So i have few questions if can someone answer please :)

* I factory reseted HU, enabled third party apps and installed Mike permissions and few other apps from cmdroid but I had to do it via USB and installer because the browser in HU won't start download apps from cmdroid. I installed Chrome via USB but same result, when I click on app HU says downloading and it is 'hanging' in task but it never starts to download. Anyone knows why ? From http://kahur.ee/honda-connect/ apps download working fine.

* How to get rid of that safety thing which disables apps and lots of stuff while driving in general ? Does mike permission app actually does that for apps i install and is it adding process in mikes app mandatory for every app or just in case if its not behaving normally ? Because i did not add any process to any apps and half of them works normally even in driving

*i know its off topic but you guys will know :) I have executive model with keyless start/open/lock option, and i believed i will also have keyless walk away function but actually it seams i do not have it which is kinda strange to me because i found posts of 2016 hrvs to have it and they explains how to enable that options and i am unable to find it. Can someone confirm that 2015 EU dont have walk away lock option ?

Thank you all!

Honda HR-V elegance 2019 Belgium-Europe

Hi,

I just bought a new 2019 Honda HR-V in Belgium (Europe)

Software: 03.00E.00.D.1125

Can we really hack this to get Waze and Spotify on the build-in tablet?

I tried the HondaAppCenter_A1.apk from cmdroid.com but the install-button is grayed out :(
[Security Discussion] calyxim:
I used my hacked head unit happily for 1.5 years then yesterday waze started force closing so I pushed down the power button for 10 seconds for a reset.

Now I am in a bootloop. Disconnecting the battery didn't solve the issue.

Also when I cold start the car I can hear a subtle grinding noise from the head unit. For about 10 seconds or so.

Safe to assume it is toasted right?..

Any suggestions on aliexpress head units?

Thank you for the suggestions. I asked every single aliexpress vendor if they do my version. They all said no.

Do you guys know any aftermarket options that will work somewhat okay? Car is a 9th gen Civic hatchback.

[Security Discussion] centuryheli:
Hey buddy.

Yours is similar to mine, I have the 9th Gen TypeR and so am looking to make sure I retain the features obtained by Canbus, or as many of them as I can.

In my travels on Aliexpress, there are LHD and RHD Android head units that are built into the facial we need. However there is no real indication of what Canbus features are retained other than simply steering wheel controls.

The HRV links above look encouraging as I am sure as it's a Honda, the Canbus interfacing will be the same.

The 10G Civic has a few options and Seicane looks to be a good make, again I've not seen specific reference videos to the Canbus integration on our 9G's, but it looks extensive on the 10G's. With door ajar visuals, AC/mac heater control visuals and trip/mpg pages.

So I would contact them as one of their double din radios combined with a simple facial adaptor from Aliexpress or other and you'd be all set.

Keep me posted if you do contact Seicane on what comes back, as I'm keen to swap out the same limited unit.

The other options I've read a lot about is one of the well known makes, Pioneer, Alpine etc combined with a Maestro canbus box to retain functionality. Again though I've looked for 9th gen installed videos and not really found any, only 9G US spec cars, which might be different.

Update on my bootloop issue;

Luckily, traffic in London was chocablock today so I had time to try every single button combination. Long story short:

Hold Brightness + menu + power for 20 or so seconds and you got yourself a hard reset.

Now everything is back to normal. Waze is ticking away while Spotify is running in the background flawlessly.

my search for an aftermarket head unit was not so good.

No one does a plug and play unit for the face-lift 9th gen. My car audio guy said he is confident he can make everything work with a Chinese unit however it would cost me up to a couple of hundred quid.

Not a bad deal to be honest.

[Security Discussion] calyxim:
Gmaps force closes unfortunately.

The way this unit performs reminds me of my good old Nexus One. Probably the internals are similar.

Therefore I believe it can be updated if some developer spares their time which is unlikely because the unit itself is fit for purpose as it is.

We have working waze and spotify. We also have offline navigation Sygic. No one expects more from a head unit. Also it is 2011's technology. Keep your expectations low :D

Hi miroslavpena

I think Google has stopped support of Android 4.0.4 or Maps 8.4.1 in combination of navigation.

This was working on my Typ-R (on RC6) until about 1 year ago or maybe beginning of 2019 I not sure, but since then navigation with Google maps is not working anymore.

I also tried to reset it complete and installed all from new, still the same.

I don't think you can upgrade the adroid version. Maybe with rooting, but I never saw something like this on here or other forums.

After this post

I have tried a bit with different versions on my Typ-R (running on RC6).

acurahh is right, Google Maps is working with version 6.14.5 and with navigation. But it is very old and not really friendly to handle.

I tried after this, version 7.7.0 (next I found for 4.0.4). It is also working and also with naviation and in new look and feel. But now I'm not able to loging into my google account and don't have "my places", this was working in 8.4.1 and in 6.14.5 also.

By the way, to have the Google Account logged in i have also installed "Google Account Manager 4.0.3-239410"

I'll try if I get this also working, because the new look and feel is much better.

So all together in combination with Google Account Manager 4.0.3-239410:

Google Maps V6.14.5: Works most basics and Offline Maps + navigation + my places (can't turn off navigation sound, navigation looks like a separate app, very old look and feel)

Google Maps V7.7.0: Works all basics and navigation (I will try a bit to get more)

Google Maps V8.0.0: (same as 8.4.1)

Google Maps V8.4.1: Works all basics and my places (navigation was working earlier)

I think V8.4.1 was the latest for Android 4.0.4

Hope this will help some people.

Good Evening.

This is where it would help if there was more videos on after-market headunits fitted to 9G Civics, as it's been around a few years I am surprised there isn't.

Looking at the newer 10G headunit changes, along with some CRV forums to, it seems there is leads available to retain the stock GPS, DAB and other connections. Along with the various Canbus features and additional ones being added, but this is going by videos/posts not specific to the (g and so I am drawing a conclusion that the different models will allo still operate in a similar way as Honda will not have drastically changed the core interfacing protocol, only the visually seen facias.

The clock change is an interesting issue, as I am sure it pulls the time from the headunit, so while the other steering wheel buttons I am sure connect directly to the iMid, the clock setting and track information is pulled from the Connect.

The Maestro RR Canbus box looks interesting, but again there isn't anything specific to the 9th generation other than US coupes that can show us what can be done.

[Security Discussion] centuryheli:
Hey.

I've considered the same, as it's a good option and using a basic tablet to phone as a test worked great.

But it won't work below Android version 4.2 I think as it needs components not found in our very old 4.0.4 the headunits run :(

So the short answer is no, we cannot use it.

Whether a question to the developer might offer some fix I do not know, so shoot them a question and let us know the outcome.
