You star. I have done that and managed to download some apps from cmhonda. Brilliant.

Next question is how to use those apps on the move. It's fine with my car sat on drive connected to home wifi, but i need to somehow connect my S6 to tether the mobile data.....
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
Easy. I have the S6 and this is exactly what I do.

First, on the S6, Install an app called Automate and set it up so that when your S6 connects to the HU via Bluetooth, it activates Hotspot. Something like this......

[IMG="Automate Setup"]https://s22.postimg.org/kl17kmg0x/automate_Setup.png"[/IMG]

Now, pair the S6 with the HU.

Connect the HU to the S6 Hotspot WiFi.

That's it really. Now, every time you get in the car, the S6 will auto pair/connect via Bluetooth to the HU for Phone use and the Automate app, running in the background, will automatically turn on Hotspot. In turn, the HU will connect to "WiFi", which is of course the tethered mobile internet. Works for me. Every time.

Hope this helps. But there's more than one way to skin a cat. ;)
[Security Discussion] Moonheed:
Downloaded Automate. Good lord it looks complicated!! Thanks man, I will have a play around with it.
[Security Discussion] Moonheed:
It won't tether using the normal method via phone. The wifi finds the Android AP signal but won't connect. No idea why. I can't connect via USB as it automatically turns on MirrorLink, the phone screen goes off and nothing happens.

And to make matters worse, I have spent so long fannying on with it it appears the battery is now dead as car won't start. AA will be here in 30 minutes.

Don't I feel like the total *******
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
LMFAO!!!! What a plonker!!!! :laugh: You should have started the engine periodically, or at least gone for a few short drives. Surely the HU told you that you had to start the engine every 5 minutes and the HU otherwise turns off? Mine did and wouldn't allow me to continue otherwise. Or maybe that a new feature in newer cars now as I have the 2016 Honda Jazz. LOL

The WiFi should connect. Have you ensured the correct SSID and Password, correct case and spelling? And no, don't use the USB port to charge your phone unless you use a cable meant for charging only and not data. That is, a cable designed with two wires for charging and not the 4/6 wires used for data. Or else use the 12V socket with a USB charging plug like I do.

Actually, I have hard-wired my phone charging (and DashCam) using a Piggy-Back Fuse and USB Socket wired into the fusebox so it's all neatly out of the way and permanent.
[Security Discussion] Moonheed:
I know mate. How embarrassing. Anyway the car connects to my home WiFi no problem. But on my S6 it won't. The HU finds my mobile wifi signal (Android AP) no bother, however after i enter password it flicks between my home wifi and android wifi, saying "obtaining IP address" then "connecting" refusing to connect to either. Strange. Can't think of a way around it??
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
Have you tried setting your own SSID instead of using the default Android AP? Change the SSID and set your own PW and try connecting again.

It's gotta work. Mine does. And you can connect to your home WiFi so......... :confused:

Will give it a shot and report back.....

finally found a semi solution

ok so ive been meddling trying to get things to work, priority was to get google maps to stay on screen whilst driving (ive got crv 2016) i plugged in a firestick into hdmi and all worked using the remote, next step to get it to stay on whilst driving if only so i could use my own choice of maps, anything that plugs in via hdmi and stays on is good right, i mean im not an idiot that lets things distract me and as i bought the car its mine to do as i please

so what i found out from previous versions and what i calculated on the new honda connect screen

this is how its done

1 turn car on

2 press ok on the screen

3 hold power+menu+brightness buttons for approx 4-5 seconds

4 let go

5 2 white screens come up, press bottom one

6 hold menu button for about 5 seconds

7a new menu will pop up

8 scroll down to vsp and press vsp

9 select off

10 keep pressing return til you get back to main menu select hdmi and voila there you go, you can drive with hdmi screen on with whatever you are displaying !!!

on turning the engine off then back on repeat from 1

if you like this hit the thanks button pls
[Security Discussion] nixuspix:
Why so complex and long way?

Just install GoogleMaps from cmhonda.net and follow Hpnda Permissions instructions
[Security Discussion] sparkeyno1:
it doesnt allow you to install apps on new version, unless you know a way ?
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
New version being? You mean you have higher than Android 4.0.4?

I have Honda Jazz 2016, I consider that a new version, apart from I have Android 4.0.4 on the HU.

honda connect workaround 2016

I have a 2016 crv uk version, and yes its 4.0.4 and the connect not link, cmhonda.net will allow to download but not install , if you know a way round this could you tell me please? , ive tried everyway ie delevoper mode debugging etc and still say installation failed , so thats why i did my workaround but here to learn !

[Security Discussion] ZiDanRO:
Try a factory reset to your unit before trying to install from cmhonda. Maybe this will help!
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
Not a Factory Reset, an Android Reset. (But I'm guessing that's what you probably meant) That's what you need to try I reckon, if you haven't already.

In Settings, look for Backup and Restore and do a Restore to reset.

Then you should be able to install apps. ;)

[Security Discussion] peter.hawkins71:
Just got a 2016 CR-V (UK)myself and manged to work out how to install apps... trust me it works when you use the Honda Permissions app.

1. Download the Honda Permissions App APK from CM Honda Website and put in root of your USB Key

2. In Android settings, look for Backup and Restore and reset. This will rollback the Honda App Store and Aha, but dont worry you can update them later.

3. Using install option, install the Honda Permissions App APK

4. Intall apps and update permissions as per the instructions in this thread from page 38.

5. If you update Aha & Honda app store, you wont be able to install your own apps unless you do this... Change the "allowed installations" by changing HondaAppCenter_A1.apk "Sig digest sha256" back to PREINSTALL

On mine, I cant install direct from the USB key, but using File Commander or ES Explorer, I can navigate to the USB key and install that way.. which is better because you can put multiple folders on the key with the relevant APK inside (not limited to one HondaAppCenter_A1.apk file on the root). I can also install via the web (CM Honda or Dropbox etc)

You can but try it. :)
[Security Discussion] budapestkave:

I'll give it a go and report back :)

BTW, can you remember what version of Play Services did you use that works OK? (Save me installing Play Services Info to find out)

it doesnt seem to install from pendrives, download apk's direct to honda android from cmhonda.com , then use the download option to install, once youve done you can install esfileexplorer and use that to search pendrive , make sure all apk's are renamed to HondaAppCenter_A1.apk and put them in different folders , then install then setup processes alot is explained at cmhonda.com and from the helpful guys here , without which i wouldnt or eventually got to

Hey buddy.

I myself have an OBD2 BT dongle but have not tried to pair it in my FK2R, so can't help there. But I'm wondering if the OBD2 BT module could have its pairing code changed via a serial connection to a PC. Some of the cheap BT modules can have their name, baud rate and pairing code change by sending it AT commands over a serial link with a PC. It would entail you opening up your unit and seeing if you could find 4 pins labelled:

+ - Tx Rx

If you do find these it might be possible.

[Security Discussion] MasterClass7:
Hi guys,

First of all I want to tell I'm very appreciate for all your work on Honda Connect system.

I want to ask question - I found on both AppStore and Google Play application called Honda Connect App. It's published by Honda Cars India, so I think this is why I can't add car using my VIN/Engine number, as both car and me not from India. Is there any apps for non-India cars or is there any workaround how to use this app? As I know, Honda Jazz has remote engine start (and/or maybe some additional features provided by this app), however I can't find any information regarding how to use it for other countries.

Does anyone know anything regarding this?

I installed Sygic 16.2.15 and seems to work perfectly.

I have a 2016 hr-v cn Android 4.0.4

Method:

1. I installed Sygic with TotalCommander from usb key

2. I put the obb files on sdcard \ Android \ obb \ ....

3. I started Sygic and I did log in (I have a purchased version)

4. He asked me to install the map (Italian for me)

5. End

I noticed that the Sygic folder, with everything else in it, this one must be in sdcard and not of usb. This takes away space, but it seems to work well and can be quickly opened.

I could not try everything but I hope to do so in the coming days. Fingers crossed

Still nothing mate. Refuses to connect to my phone mobile Wifi.

My Spotify works via bluetooth link but that's about it. Bit gutted really.
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
That means you haven't set the Honda Permissions!

You did install the Honda Permissions app first of all, didn't you? That should be the very first app you install.

Then you need to run it to set the permissions of the app/apps you are using as per instructions on this thread.

[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
Don't think it's possible since no one has hacked the unit yet. Even if we could, Android 4.0.4 to Nougat is quite a hike, will the unit be powerful enough to handle it? I have my reservations. I'm certainly not keen to try, I wouldn't want to break or brick my unit. :)
[Security Discussion] sparkeyno1:
its a tegra chip so think it should be powerful enough, my may concern is would existing honda software work with it! i dont know!
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
Just because it's a Tegra chip doesn't mean to say it's ok. I have an Asus eePad which I tried putting Marshmallow on. It was slow to use so not worth it. It depends on the chip and the speeds.

And I'd doubt the Honda apps would work to be honest. Certainly not worth the risk trying, unless we can be sure we can backup and restore first in case it all goes tits up.

[Security Discussion] sparkeyno1:
cant see where its illegal but this the bit i found

The law

It's illegal to use a handheld mobile when driving.

This includes using your mobile phone to follow a map, read a text or check social media. This applies even if you’re stopped at traffic lights or queuing in traffic.

You can only use a handheld phone if you are safely parked or need to call 999 or 112 in an emergency and it’s unsafe or impractical to stop.

If you’re caught using a handheld phone while driving, you’ll get 3 penalty points on your licence and a fine of £100. Points on your licence will result in higher insurance costs.

If you get just 6 points in the first two years after passing your test, you will lose your licence.

You may use a hands-free phone while driving but you can still be prosecuted if you’re not in proper control of your vehicle. The penalties are same as being caught using a handheld phone.

The penalties for driving carelessly or dangerously when using a handheld or hands-free phone can include disqualification, a large fine and up to two years imprisonment.
[Security Discussion] hafidelbazdari:
it is not mobile phone but it is a shelf integrated in the car honda.

and during the trip it was not me who uses it is my wife for the children
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
I cannot seriously believe that you don't think it's illegal to watch or be able to see a video while driving.

I know you say you won't actually be watching it but as I understand the law (in the UK at least) you have to have the monitor tilted away from you/not visible as a driver when in use.

Try Google - https://www.google.co.uk/webhp?sour...#q=is+it+illegal+to+watch+tv+while+driving+uk

Anyway, it's certainly possible to do and yes, it's in the Honda Permission Settings. ;)

The problem is that you installed a lot of Google-background-working-5h1t!

[Security Discussion] Manfred.62:
this info is from the Honda instruction paper:

Some units might experience "H screen stuck on" symptom. Initially the software update will not be possible when the unit is "H screen stuck on". You will need to follow these steps before attempting the update:

• When unit is in fail mode "H screen stuck on", Press and hold the Power and Day Night button at the same time for five seconds.
• After five seconds the unit will switch into the reboot mode, then the unit will do a file check during rebooting. Rebooting will take approximately two and a half minutes.
• Now continue with software update procedure.

Note: The "H screen stuck on" symptom can be caused by a software or a hardware failure. In case of a hardware failure, recovering is not possible and
a new RM unit is necessary.

Remember: better don't manipulate permissions for system processes. Only edit permissions for apk's you installed afterwards.

I've successfully installed the OEM ( rear view camera on my HR-V, Elegance model. After a week of usage, everything looks good with the new camera. I think that it worth to have a rear camera in special for the very narrow parking places, or if you want to get closer at 1 or 2 cm from the back car, you can do that with the camera ( the parking sensor doesn't help you in the last 40 cm ).

I brought a OEM Honda camera from U.S. ( ~$150 + transport ) because in EU the prices are exorbitantly big and about the same, L850 in UK and 1000 Euro in Romania ! I don't know why there is a very big difference between U.S. and EU prices ( but I think Honda knows ) but there are always another options, aftermarket.

OMG, I decompiled the appstore apk to java and I see, that server auth stored in a plain text. :)

So I can login to appstore's webservices server. What's next step? I haven't got any idea.

Background:

When you register your user in head unit, then you have a public and private security key.

The private key stored in head unit only, the public key stored in head unit and stored in appstore server also.

This public key included in a request header, so if we could catch network traffic we could see the public key.

If you login to appstore on your pc and choose download .hap file, I think this public key is used in encryption.

If we have a public key, we could generate any .hap file from any .apk file?
