Transmission of the current time on the CAN bus​

The current time is transmitted on all CAN buses (HS-CAN, MS-CAN, MM-CAN) in the Mondeo via CAN ID 080 at 1 second intervals. The message has the following structure:

ID DLC INTV D0 D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7

080 8 1000 YY MM DD HH MM SS 00 00

Byte	Contents	Example	Explanation
D0	YY	11 (= 2017)	The last two digits of the current year
D1	MM	04 (= April)	Month of the year. 01 = January, 0C = December
D2	DD	0E (= 14.)	Day of the month. 01 = the 1st, 1F = the 31st
D3	HH	0C (= 12)	The current hour (in 24h format) from 00 to 17 (= 11 p.m.)
D4	MM	25 (= 37)	The current minute from 00 to 3B (= 59)
D5	SS	2C (= 44)	Second, from 00 to 3B (= 59)
D6	00	00	Static always 00 (padding byte)
D7	00	00	Static always 00 (padding byte)

Changing the time​

The timer in the BCM can be adjusted via a CAN message with ID 100. The BCM expects the message on the MS-CAN. The radio, which is only connected to the MM-CAN, uses the IPC as a gateway. The structure is similar to the time ID above, but only the changed values are transferred. Time elements that cannot be changed contain the value 00 at the respective position.

Byte	Contents	Example	Explanation
D0	00	00	Static always 00 (padding byte)
D1	CH	01	First 01 and then 00
D2	SS	2C (= 44)	Second, from 00 to 3B (= 59)
D3	MM	25 (= 37)	The current minute from 00 to 3B (= 59)
D4	HH	0C (= 12)	The current hour (in 24h format) from 00 to 17 (= 11 p.m.)
D5	DD	0E (= 14.)	Day of the month. 01 = the 1st, 1F = the 31st
D6	MM	04 (= April)	Month of the year. 01 = January, 0C = December
D7	YY	11 (= 2017)	The last two digits of the current year

Hello dear friend. I have noticed your previeus question on October 30th but you know, I did this hack some yeras ago and now I do not remember anything. Actually, I have kept notes and I need to translate the whole precedure in English but I am not good. I promise to do that next days, I hope during the weekend. Regards.

[Security Discussion] Matinaki:
Hi. I have not read all your previous posts, therefor I am not sure if my information will help you. I hope they will..

1. Reset android (return to factory settings)

2. Check unknown sources and USB debugging.

3. Install Mike's app through USB port.

4. Open app, go to the second line "process controls", press + and on the opened window we add data on the process/package list and the rest, for each one app we want to install.

5. We install apps one by one through USB stick (rooted) renaming each one previously as HondaAppCenter_A1.apk and deleting each one installed..

The apps we need we download from cmdroid.com

That's it breafly speaking. If you need information about process/package tell me. Hope I helped.

Thank you so much explaining the steps you’ve taken. I’ve gone through many posts the in the thread and I am stuck at step 3, the usb doesn’t show any apps.

I’ve seen guys mentioning about downgrading the system to RC6. I am not sure how to do that. Have you done any downgrading?
[Security Discussion] Matinaki:
I've never upgraded or downgraded system, being afraid to lose something, since access I did not touch anything. I do not know even what version I own, probably mine is the oldest (car is 2015 model) but I do not know which one. You know, before I did this f****ing but so useful "hack" I readed twice all the 160 pages of the thread some years ago, therefor I kept 5 pages notes. I will take a look about downgrading. Which one RC is yours? What do you mean "stuck at step 3"? Have you installed Mike's app?
[Security Discussion] aeroknotz:
Ah I see. Yeah, that's my main issue really, I am not sure which version I own (whether RC6 or RC8, not sure). My car is a 2015 model, attaching the photo of the system. My software version number starts with 02.084, I can see many people posted their software versions does have an alphabet, eg, it starts with 0E or 0C or 0F etc.)

Stuck at step 3 means, I've dowloaded Mike's app and renamed it to HondaAppCenter_A1.apk. However, plugging the USB shows the message 'No file detected. Please confirm a USB device is connected, and that .apk files exists in the root directory'.

I am using a 16GB USB drive - FAT32 formatted. When I go to settings > storage - the USB drive shows capacity as 198MB available. I can't believe how Honda made such a simple process so complicated!

[Security Discussion] ElderSteve:
Thank you for all the work you put into writing this document.

I have just spent the past couple of weeks playing with the head unit of my 2018 RHD CR-V. I found that some of the key combinations in your guide didn't quite work for me and I needed a completely different solution for correcting the greyed out Install button. My printed out copy of your guide ended up covered in notes and corrections.

I got OpenDroid Auto working successfully with Google Maps and Spotify. I also successfully installed the Pulsar music player, Spotify and Waze on the head unit. I gave up on trying to get a working version of Youtube. The nearest I came to success was using SkyTube Legacy.

Anyway, I have completely rewritten your guide based on my experience and I would happily post it here if you have no objection.
[Security Discussion] Matinaki:
Well dear friend, I have not kept information about upgrading or downgrading cause I had not at all in my mind to do something like that, being afraid to lose..

As about the version you own, take a look to the posts #2468, #2619 and #2682, there is information, according my notes.

As about USB stick, try to:

Check with another one.

Do a slow FAT32 format.

Try some other formatter

and do not forget to rename applications to HondaAppCenter_A1.apk.

My advice is not to try to find solution reading posts around, here and there, but begin reading from post #1. You know, I have read all pages twice and I plan to repeat reading for the third time. I have interested to root system and as I remember there is information about it somewhere. Regards

P.S. In such case I will install a new app (thinking to install Torque) I will send a message to you. The only problem is to find free time but with two kids 7 and 9 y.o it is very difficult :)
[Security Discussion] aeroknotz:
Dear friend, than you again. As a first step, let me try replacing the USB and do a slow format. I will go through the posts listed, and as suggested, I will start from post #1.

Sure, if you do the install, please let me know…and yeah, I can understand the time constraints with kids. No worries, you are doing plenty help here, much appreciated. 🙂
[Security Discussion] ElderSteve:
The first thing you should do is establish what RC your car is running. The build number you are quoting and that you show in the images in your posts is not the relevant one. You need to get into your car's diagnostics menu. This will have screens like that shown in post #3749 above.

You will find the guide written by gaucho_ire very useful, although it has some errors (see post #3694).
[Security Discussion] ElderSteve:
Thank you for developing this application. I have it working on my 2018 RHD Honda CR-V and this means I can use Google Maps whilst listening to Spotify so I am very pleased. I have read borba0's comments and my experience with the App is very similar.

I have considerable experience of developing real-time apps in C and C++ and I was wondering if you would share the source code so I could have a go at improving it. I don't have that much experience on Android but I did the course some years ago. I am now retired so I could find the time.
[Security Discussion] aeroknotz:
Great, thank you for the insight. I was wondering how could I find the RC number. I was planning to go through the posts to find out if anyone has given instructions. Diagnostics menu is it then :) Appreciated the posts references 👍🏻

[Security Discussion] borba0:
If you have downgraded your RC8 to RC6, it's simple.

1. Take a usb stick and format as fat32

2. Copy Mike's permission and save it as HondaAppCenter_A1.apk to usb stick.

3. Mark in Honda Android as checked option "unknown sources".

4. Find "install app" in Honda Android and run

5. Install Mike's permission as HondaAppCenter_A1.apk from usb

6. Run Mike's permission.

7. Make a notification for AndroidAuto (as it is shown in attached photos)

8. Install AndroidAuto (also copied on usb stick as HondaAppCenter_A1.apk)

9. Run and use via USB CABLE (no option to use it wireless).

10. That's easy.

It is possible to easily and safely upgrade to RC 6.1? which from what I have learned is the last version where it is possible to install external applications (waze etc)

Will the update detect improvements in the fluidity of Android and will GPS be more accurate?
[Security Discussion] borba0:
It depends. I don't know, because my HC was number 3. So, I've upgraded it do RC6, then 6.1.

Now, I use Waze, Sygic, Yanosik (Polish dashboard navigation system), YouTube (in SkyTube mutation) and it's quite enough for me.

I have noticed no problems during the upgrade processs.

With Mike's permission app you should make a note in "process control":

Package name: com.waze

App Type = NAVI

SoundInterrupt = ON

[Security Discussion] zknapic:
Hi,

Are there any google-play apps for HC??
[Security Discussion] borba0:
Well, I'm sorry, but Waze is not in use now, because in Poland I'm using Yanosik. But as far as I can well remember, under such circumstances I've posted earlier:

Process Name = com.waze

Package Name = com.waze

Auth Type = THIRD_PARTY

App Type = OTHER

VideoOut = OFF

SoundOut = OFF

SoundInterrupt = ON

SoundInterruptMude = ON

LastMode = ON

Others = Default

there were no problems to listen both: radio/music e.g. MP3 and navigation system.

I'll check my setting with navigation and inform you tomorrow.

According to google-play, there is a problem, that HondaConnect is based on 4.0.4 Android version.

And therefore, many apps (not all, but I suppose, almost all) are not compatible and too new to our Honda Connect system.
[Security Discussion] sheridan2000:
interesting....suppose a leap of faith is required....
[Security Discussion] anekin007:
Wish our Hondas were that simple. Both our Hondas are running 4.2.2 and its checking the speed sensor. Looking at diagram of the last gen civic, fit, and current hrv they all the parking wire. The crv looks like it has the new setup to run off the speed sensor. Easy to tell if it's running off the park or speed sensor is if you put it into gear and your app cuts out then it's the parking. If the app is still running and you start to drive then it cuts out then it's the speed sensor.

Here's the harness for the U.S. Version. The civic, fit and hrv are the same pin B11 but they have different colors.

Stuck on black screen - Honda Pilot 2016 EX

Some people mentioned in this thread getting stuck on a black screen after trying some things on their Honda head unit.

I have a 2016 Pilot EX (US).

I've tried many different things mentioned in this thread, and was able to get to many different menus and options. I then decided to try the Uploader option in the Boot Mode Select located in the Developer Settings options and rebooted the unit.

The head unit boots with the HondaLink Logo, but after that, the screen is black (but powered on) and the soft buttons have their lights on. The Laneshift camera and Rear view camera are the only thing that get on that screen. No audio, no phone.

I tried to remove the 20 Amp Audio fuse to get the head unit to reset, and it is the good fuse, because when I try to start the car again, everything is ok, but the head unit stays off and the cameras of course dont show on the head unit. Tried a couple times to remove the fuse and putting it back after waiting 10 seconds, 60 seconds, even a whole 10 minutes, nothing changes the situation.

I tried many different combination of keys when the head unit boots, holding power, holding vol + and/or -, holding menu, holding different combos of these keys, nothing more, still black screen

Any ideas on how to fix this aside from going to the dealer ? I would love to be able to simply do a hardware factory reset, like with an android phone in powered up in recovery mode.

And I think this will also help anyone who is trying something on their head unit and gets to that black screen dead-end :)
[Security Discussion] ceejay105:
Try to boot into recovery and do a factory reset. Don't know what key combination you have to use but I think someone mentioned that before in that thread.

Key combination to boot in recovery mode - Honda Pilot EX 2016

That's the problem, I don't know what the key combination is to boot in recovery mode... No user actually gave that combination by reading back in this thread. So, I tried about 20 different combinations (the frequent ones), but none work, Honda or Clarion probably removed the option to be able to boot from that mode (or at least from the visible button on the dashboard).

Anyone knows that key combination ?

Thanks in advance !
[Security Discussion] tomzero:
Try inserting an empty usb flash drive or sd card before booting, then reboot and wait, maybe.

or

Try entering to developer menu, when the unit booted as usual.

This keys works for EU version:

Restart: press and hold the power button for ~5 secs. Does it work?

Safe mode: After that immediately press and hold vol - button while restarting.

Hello everybody,

I can confirm that cutting the correct wire with hand brake signal that enters in the unit and putting it on the car ground is working. By working I mean the unit always work as the car is stopped with handbrake on. There are no issues like light on or beeps for driving with handbrake. The single remaining problem is that all other audio is cut. As workaround it is possible to install an internet radio app and it is working.

Hello Guys,

at first sorry for my bad english! It is a long time ago!

So....thanks for the trick! It Works for me Perfekt! HondaAppCenter_A1.apk works great with all my APK.

Well at my car Honda HRV from 2015 now works Navigon with Offline Maps. My radio is without Garmin

But I must to VSP OFF at the begining. Well it is ok.

Radio is without sound!

So Guys.....

I think it is this way.....can we change process_controls.list - contains packages and permissions." com.garmin.autooem" to com.navigon.navigator_checkout_eu40

so my Navigon would works fine in driving and I have Radio.,too

But how can I rename com.garmin.autooem to com.navigon.navigator_checkout_eu40?????
[Security Discussion] antonionni1:
Where is located process_controls.list? In /etc?

com.garmin.autooem is a file? Or a line inside process_controls.list?

And com.navigon.navigator_checkout_eu40 is the name of your navi app?

It would not be easier to add the names of the apps inside process_controls.list? If you can rename, you can also change the file ...

Why you can putting it on car ground? I don't like this solution.

Hello Guys,

Last time I showed you how to install custom application. Now it's time to move on.

I present you complete solution. Not hardware, but software :)

I created application which allow you to change process_controls.list and allowed_installations.list direct in your Honda head unit !!

I note that it works and it has been tested a little in my

Honda with android 4.0.4

.

I spent some time working on it, so give me some thanks if you use it.

I don't expect any payments, but if you would like to send me some beers. I will sent you my paypal address by PM.

I tested the application only a little. So it could have some bugs. Use it for your own risk.

Do full backup (in two formats) before you start changing something, there is option for this. I haven't tested restore option yet. It should work, but I'm not guarantee this.

I don't know what each flags and options in process control mean. I haven't tested this yet. Maybe someone would like to do some manual?

Warnings:

1. I'm not responsible for any damage of your head unit. Use it for your own risk.

2. Don't remove HondaAppCenter_A1.apk from allowed installations, because if something goes wrong you won't be able to install any new applications or new versions.

3. Be careful with changing version number. If you increase it then updating Honda oryginal applications won't overwrite your changes in process controls.

If you decrease it then reboot you head unit will overwrite your changes.

4. Be careful with changing permissions flags in existing packages and applications.

5. And last be careful when you driving.

Enjoy!!!
