Google Map installation help please. Installed already but could not navigate.

Hi all,

Today I tried to install google map in my 2015 facelift CRV connect HU which does not have sat nav, I installed the Honda permission first, but could not find anywhere to create any of the process policy, so I tried to install google map straigt away. Well its been installed succesfully and searches okay, shows my location, but as soon as I click start navigation, it shut itself out. Tried several times still the same. Another problem is as soon as I started Google map, the music stopped playing.

Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks.

Tony

Hey buddy.

There is no update to the Androud version, with our Connects we are stuck on 4.0.4 forever. Unless a capable developer came onboard and ported 4.2.2 or higher to our units, which I won't think is going to happen.

The only update is the the units software, latest being RC8 which us posted here I think somewhere. If not I know where it is on another forum.

Spotify can be installed, but you need the older version that will still run under Android 4.0.4. Some searching on Google will yield these files, but I do have them on my PC so can confirm the version i have on mine later.

Hey Tony.

With the permissions app installed you can add a new permission to the whitelist, this will allow you set the behaviour of the installed apps and what the cars headunit can and cannot do when they are working.

The instructions and guides are here that walk you through these steps.

That's unfortunate but thanks for your answer. As for Spotify, what I meant was the "Spotify Light" App, not the normal "Spotify Music" App. I managed only to find the normal app, but I can't use it properly since the full blown app is very unresponsive and laggy. No luck with finding Spotify Light with 4.0.4 support, do you mind checking if you have this one? Would be appreciated.
[Security Discussion] centuryheli:
Evening Mate.

Yes it is a real shame no one really taken onboard the task of porting over 4.2.2 or 5.0 to our units. But it's a big risk trying to do so.

Ah, it seems i have the Spotify you are looking for, "Spotify Lite V0.12.92.17 TypeR" I've renamed it as I know it works on the car. It's the genuine one, not modded or anything so I will upload it somewhere for you. Ping me your email and I will Sendspace it to you tomorrow.

You're welcome buddy, glad to help.

It's just finished uploading and you should have email shortly mate.

[Security Discussion] ceejay105:
Ian,

I tried the app you gave me and unfortunately it doesn't work. I can't install it. I renamed it as usual and the install button is still greyed out. When I looked the version up online, it stated I would need Android 4.1 to run it. :(
[Security Discussion] centuryheli:
Evening Mate.

Ah if the buttons greyed out that's not because of the APK file, but either the wrong name or other. Apps which don't work on the Android operating system they are trying to be installed on usually flash up "parsing error" from memory.

Try the other USB slot, I think I found one side didn't work properly.

I'll double check tomorrow, but I'm 99% sure this is the one I have on mine as the icon shows lite on it and this is the only lite version I have in my TypeR folder on my PC.

I'm assuming you've been able to install other apps already yes? Ruling out you having the latest firrmware which locks out this backdoor renaming trick until you inject the permissions app again and change some settings back.

Ian Contessa
[Security Discussion] ceejay105:
Hey buddy,

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I renamed the file properly, as I already did with all of my other apps installed. I tried different USB-Sticks on both ports. I added the "com.spotify.lite" to the Honda Permissions app and no luck. Install button is still greyed out. I even installed a file manager and tried to install it from internal memory, that gave me the "parsing error". :( I didn't make the Honda updates either.

Also I searched the web for another compatible version. The lowest I could find is Spotify Lite 0.6.6 which also already needs Android 4.1. Are you sure you have it installed on your head unit mate?
[Security Discussion] centuryheli:
Good Afternoon.

Sorry it's my fault, it's not LITE but BETA mine says and is version 5.5.0.652.

I did find a web site with some APK's from for the Conenct, so wondering now if this is where the LITE apk came from and I thought I was using that one.

Do you want me to sendspace this one to you?

Ian Contessa
[Security Discussion] ceejay105:
Hey Ian,

No problem, was just wondering what I did wrong :D

That would be nice if you could sendspace me the file. Does this work properly on your head unit? I noticed it's only 60mb instead of over 100 for the normal one, so I hope this runs more smoothly.
[Security Discussion] centuryheli:
Hey Chris.

I'm not sure what I did, I had 3 other Spotify versions in the folder I have from my R so everything I use on it is in one place. The Lite version I must of got to try one day and haven't as the current one on it is working quite well.

Yeah it does work nice for me, wouldn't say it's as quick as when working on your phone of couese, but it works well when using my phone as a hot spot and seems to remember the last song you were playing. This one also remembers your login details, as I had that problem with some other versions where I had to keep logging in.

Will Sendspace now, you should get email in 10.

Keep me posted on your findings of this one.

Ian Contessa
[Security Discussion] ceejay105:
Thank you, works like a charm. Much better than the full blown version. Got a few problems accessing all playlists but I think I will figure out this also.Anyway, thanks for your help mate :)

It's a shame you can't use the steering wheel buttons to navigate inside Spotify :( if we would have root access we could change it like the guys from Honda hack did for the 4.2.2 version, but unfortunately we can't do anything on this old system. I don't understand Honda themselves don't provide any updates at all ...
[Security Discussion] centuryheli:
Hey Buddy.

Ah fantastic, you've found it to be better for you which is good to hear as I stopped looking for anotehr version when this one worked.

You've echoed what I was going to say to, if only we could then make the track up and down work we'd be all set really. I have wondered if a simple APK could be made that listens for the right Canbus signals and then tells Spotify to change tracks, but this sort of coding it well beyond my skill set.

I thought we could get root access on these units? But I'd not really pursued it any further as I couldn't then do anything with it unless there was a step by step to achieve a final goal.

Yeah the later Connect, while still naff on 4.2.2 is a slight improvement and like you say I am sure Honda could of ported this to our units to give us a little more scope. But then they wanted people to change their cars to get the updates.

Apart from the potential Chinese headunit swap, which looks promising, I also wondered if a Raspberry Pi unit could be made to work with one of the dashboard programs you can run on these. We can already run Android Auto on a Pi easy enough, so again interface with the Canbus which I think is also available and it would make for a good swap.

Ian Contessa
[Security Discussion] ceejay105:
A long time ago I tried to install an app which can change the button layout, but the inputs weren't recognized. But if I recognize it correctly you needed root access for the app. There must be a way somehow, since the original apps of course can utilize this buttons. So my thoughts are, if there is root access for our head unit, maybe we could get some app working which can remap the buttons. But I am no expert on this either.

That might be interesting. I was looking for a replacement myself, but I have some doubts about compatibility issues. I don't wanna miss all the features I have, e.g. rear camera, GPS, parking sensors, steering wheel buttons etc. Would love to replace my head unit if there is a system that could provide all that.
[Security Discussion] Manfred.62:
Take a look at this thread: https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/...nda-hr-dasaita-ha5248-v480-8-android-t3858168

I'm also using this Dasaita headunit in my Honda HRV 2016. All is working: GPS, parking sensors, rear camera and steering wheel buttons. Installation is plug and play. I buyed 2 additional adapters for use of original GPS and second USB connector.
[Security Discussion] centuryheli:
Hey Buddy.

I wish I understood coding better, as then it would probably be quite simple to add in the code needed to make this work. Or a seperate app that interfaced with Spotify to do this.

Ah Manfred62 has beat me to it, as I was going to link to these same topics as I have been reading through them a lot.

These HRV's use the same Connect units and look to retain a lot of the standard Honda functionality and add more to it in the form of Canbus controlled/updated information. I've watched a lot of the Dasiata 10th Gen headunit installs on YouTube and they work the same, so as Canbus is one standard across all cars, it should work in our 9G's.

I was perhaps going to take the plunge and order one this summer, but that might now be next years project, as I would like to team it with a smal 12" sub as well.

Ian Contessa
[Security Discussion] ceejay105:
I am considering to switch the head unit as well, but I have my doubts buying on shops like like AliExpress. Would love to buy some directly from Germany or at least EU, but I don't find any :( Furthermore I am not sure if the ones I looked up have all the necessary connectors to maintain all original functions. Do you have any experiences for a 9th gen Civic?
[Security Discussion] centuryheli:
Hey buddy.

I must admit I do buy a lot from Aliexpress, from small electronic items to larger and more expensive stuff. On the whole it is good, but you have to be careful with some sellers and anything substantial in cost use your credit card for added protection.

From memory there are Dasiata sellers that ship from Germany, some of the newer MAX6 headunits I think I saw were available from there.

Not that I'm bothered about buying from China, I'm just usually impatient with any exciting orders so want it quicker :)

I've got a 9G TypeR so am familiar with what the Connect offers on this vehicle, which apart from the MPG and trip details isn't much else.

However as yet I've not delved behind the headunit or added a sub etc, so would be going in for the first time as and when I order anything.

The bluetooth handsfree is a separate unit and can be retained I think(?) But with the addition of a remote microphone to any replacement headunit you probably wouldnt want to keep the stock one and the steering wheel buttons can still be used via the Canbus.

From reading the HRV upgrade topics and some other places, it seems all the various patch leads are available to retain the use of the stock fitted items, like the GPS module and DAB antenna for instance.

The only thing is buying the right adapter as there is a couple of different types from what I've read.

Only other consideration, which would apply to me as mines a GT model, is if you have the stock Honda amplifier. Which I think you might be able to retain, or better still just wire behind it directly to the speakers and use the new headunits amplifier which will probably be better.

It's something I want to do, but maybe not this year now.

If you get one please do keep me in the loop with your experiences. Likewise if you contact Dasiata to see what they offer please let me know.

Aliexpress has the double din facia adaptors, so one of them with a nice double din unit would be great.

Sygic - Anyone has an idea how to make Sygic 17.7 or above work on Honda Head Unit 4.0.4?

CMdroid version hangs and quits,

a newer version ( 17.7.0) seems to work fine - but needs hand on "counrty detection" on every start

setting up of the google play account (post #981 on Page 99) is no longer a fix as google

1. discontinued support for 4.04 (Android ICS) and

2. asks for the GSF Device-ID which remains empty after installing Google Account Manager 4.0.3, Google Play services 9.4.52 and Google Play Store 6.8.24.F

Does anyone have a working solution for sygic on honda HU 4.0.4 (ICS)?

[Security Discussion] Banana Co:
Hi Everyone, I've read some of the pages of this thread but I guess its a bit of information overload and i'm unsure what is relevant. I've just bought a 2016 civic (9th gen - UK) and it has a non satnav unit in it.

I've been trying to understand the options available to me to connect up but there seems to be a few different options. MirrorLink, Honda Connect etc.

I know the unit is an old android based system and I see some have managed to get Spotify and Waze installed. Is this something that can still be done or are all these avenues now closed in 2020?

I ideally want some kind of navigation in the car if possible. I work in IT so i'm happy to fiddle around with the headunit if there is a reasonable chance of sucsess.:D

If it is possible are there any tutorials I can follow?

Thanks in advance!
[Security Discussion] borba0:
1. You need to identify Your type of HondaConnect. Find string of symbols near left top corner (digits and letters) and then You can identify, which version of software is installed (via google or XDA DEV).

2. After that, find via google file called "honda permission.apk" and download it to computer.

3. Rename after downloading to HondaAppCenter01.apk and copy to the blank USB sticker.

4. Using Your radio/unit in Honda, try to install from USB (there is an option "install app" in Your unit).

5. After that, if success, You can: install any other compatible app (remember, that it is ANDROID 4.0.4 in Your unit!) or You can download totalcommander.apk, install it in the same way as written above and then You can install any compatible apps using TCMD).

6. Often it is needed to allow Your system to run some apps. Then You should find via google (or via XDADEV) infos about "Honda permissions for Android" and how to manage some permissions to Your Honda Connect (via options of "Honda Permissions" in Your system)

7. I use as navi (because I also have a car without) MagicEarth, or Waze or Sygic - every is or free nor cheap. Google Maps doesn't work with so low version of Android.

If something else, please contact.

Ok, got the car, it has android 4.0.4 and i reset it to ensure it was clear. got the files from cmdroid and i can see them when i click install app but i cannot click 'install' its greyed out. I gather this could be a headunit version issue but i don't know how to check which one i have?
[Security Discussion] borba0:
Ok, let's star with it.

1. You should have two USB sticks, formatted with fat32

2. For one of them You shold copy the file called HondaPermission.apk (e.g. from https://kahur.ee/honda-connect/)

3. Rename this file as HondaAppCenter_A1.apk (on the USB stick)

4. Mount this pendrive to Your car USB1 and find on Your head unit option "install app"

5. Find this app on Your USB stick and tap it.

6. After installation Your system is able to install 3rd party software.

7. Download TotalCommander from (e.g.) cmdroid

8. Copy to the second USB stick renaming also this file as HondaAppCenter_A1.apk

9. Change sticks on the USB in Your car.

10. Install in the same way this app.

11. After that You can install any app by TotalCmd without changing name of the file and it means, that You can have many apps on one USB stick with original names.

12. There is possibility, that not every app could be install. In this situation, You should try another one. But also, if You install app, and there is no problem in installation process, after that, there could be as necessary, to do some changes in android allowed operations. Then You should tap Honda Permissions, and change some permissiong (e.g. shown here https://www.google.com/search?q=hon...CAYQAw&biw=1920&bih=975#imgrc=VwJSzuxPNfndeM:)

13. By the way: type of Your head unit (it means letters and digits from the top left corner avobe the screen) is connected with an option to upgrade Your system, if You would like to find on the net the special uprading files (also on XDA). But be very, very careful, because it could damage Your system if there is an option e.g. corrupted or improper upgrading file. In this situation You can have bricked head unit and only authorised service can help by changing head unit to the new one.

13. Here You got some elementary infos about

https://www.civinfo.com/threads/guide-to-installing-3rd-party-applications-stock-headunit.386674/

If there are any other questions, please, let me know.

Hi everyone. I am Italian and I am using a translator, sorry if the form is not correct ...

I have a Civic Hatchback IX, fk3 1.6 I-DTEC. Current software RC8: 10.096.00.1123 on Device G1300244. I can't find any other useful info.

I am trying, using the translator, to understand how I can make my HC usable ...

Today I DO NOT use it, simply USELESS. I've never liked Garmin, besides being very slow.

Now, I wonder if in the end it's worth it to ground HC, and to do what, today?

It would be enough for me to be able to run Spotify, TomTom and I would be happy. I'm also happy with google maps ...

Do you think it's possible on a Rooted HC?

And how do I root my HC?

Downgrade? And where do I find the right files? Is there a procedure suitable for my model?

Sorry for the various questions, but I'm tired of having my HC "off". Aside from the BT connection with my smartphone, I really can't get it to do anything else ...

Grazie!
