For the ones who don't want to mess around with the HU by installing apps, but still wan't to use Sygic GPS on the HU and are iphone users. Here is a workaround that Works for me (i'm from Portugal).

1 - Install smartphoneconnection app from apple store (h t t p s: // itunes.apple.com/au/app/smartphoneconnection/id649311931?mt=8) - Warning - you must create an Australian apple ID because the app is only on the australian appstore, after installing the app change back to your regular apple id on your iphone.

2 - Install Sygic Car Navigation on your phone ( you have 7 days to try before you by)

3 - Open smartphoneconnection app a select Austrália as your Region, if you select other country Sygic doesn't appear as a connected app

4 - Connect your iphone to your car using the Lightning Digital AV Adapter, connect the HDMI and USB

5 - on the HU will appear a new page on the right side of the screen, scroll to that page and accept the permissions on the HU and Iphone

6 - Sygic will appear on the HU Screen, just click it, every entry will be on the HU not on the Phone

7 - Enjoy and see the vídeo for more instructions (h t t p s :/ / www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AXrm3vStB4)

For Android users i think it will only work if your phone is mirrorlink capable, but i didn't tested it because i don't have an android phone.

Hope this helps.

Hi Guys, I was looking around and didn't see any way to do this, but is there a way to exclude folders in the audio player if you're playing off of USB?
[Security Discussion] djclark25:
There are 2 possible ways to do this.

1. Create a file called .nomedia in the folder you dont want scanned. This makes the folder non-scannable by media apps so shouldnt be played. This works on Android so should be the same on the Civic HU.

2. Put a . infront of the folder name. This makes the folder hidden in ANdoid and again should work on the Civic HU.
[Security Discussion] kruuth:
Cool thanks. What about using something else to play? I'd really like to use SmartAudio and PowerAmp for my music if possible.

Hello everyone, I recently acquired a 2018 Honda CR-V EX with android 4.2.2. I have managed to successfully root it and install Waze on it (iPhone user so no Waze through CarPlay), however every time it gives me directions it fails to give back audio control to previous audio source. [MENTION=6358174]S_Mike[/MENTION]'s Honda Permissions crashes upon opening and so I cannot edit the process control for navi apps. Does anyone know if there is an updated Honda Permissions app that runs under 4.2.2 or a workaround to this?

Keep trying to install Waze on CR-V 2018 Europe version (RC7)

Hello Guys, I am desperately trying to install apps on my new Honda CR-V 2018 Europe version. This has RC7 on it from the factory.

I tried updating the firmware to RC6.1. It actually seemed to be updating, but after the process, the firmware version stayed 0F.95... (RC7)

I still have a few ideas. I would like to know if you guys have tried any of these

- Connect with ADB and try to install software directly through adb command line. (I'll have to source an usb-a male to usb-a male cable first.

- As the unit can still install apps through honda app center, it should be feasible to do some kind of a man-in-the-middle hacking which would mean making honda app center download the file we want instead of the one it downloads from Honda. I will need to hook up Wireshark for this.

Do you have any other ideas, or suggestions regarding the above methods or any new method you would like to try?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

CR-V 2018 Europe - headunit removed

I have removed the Head Unit, but did not find a regular micro-usb connector in the back.

I have, however found something that looks like a micro usb-a connector on the front, bellow the cable that connects the screen. My version opens the screen, when you push the eject button.

Here is a picture of the found slot: h ttps://i.imgur.com/bfFFnk8.jpg

Can you guys confrim, that it is a micro USB-A connectro, and that it can be used to connect to the head unit with adb?
[Security Discussion] tdiman:
I don't know if the head unit is the same as the 2017 crv in the USA, but if so you can connect to the unit with a USB cable through the plugs in the center console, you don't need to pull the unit out. You so have to go through the 'hidden' settings menu and put the usb outlet in host mode. Look at the rooting thread for how to do this.

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3621582
[Security Discussion] sobvan:
Thanks for replying, tdiman.

I am afraid it is not the same hardware. I have developer options enabled, I could also access all (I think all) hidden menus of the HU, have not found anything related to USB mode, but I will check again, thanks for the tip.

On the other hand, the Europe version is still the 2015 CR-V. The new version (CR-V 2017/2018) will come only this fall to Europe. The head unit has Android 4.2.2 on the new version (like on the new Civic, that is already available in Europe). The "hacking" process is totally different for the 4.2.2 version.

I will try some more stuff and report back.

Any advice is still appreciated! :)

Honda CR-V 2018 Android 4.2.2

Hi,

I recently got a Honda CR-V 2018 model with Android 4.2.2 without Navi etc so I wanted to modify it. Found your app on 'CM DROID' but I learnt that it works for Android 4.0.4 only. Regardless, I downloaded it and my Install Button is grayed out. And the 'Unknown Sources' button is also hidden by Honda. I would really appreciate your help on this...

So, did you try to connect HU using USB adb? I mean, which cable and which port did you try?
[Security Discussion] sobvan:
I tried the USB ports inside the middle armrest console. I used a USB-A male to USB-A male cable. With "allow debugging on USB" turned on ADB did not see anything connected.

Then I dismounted the unit from its place and did not find any hidden connectors on the back. :) I have, however, found something that looks like a micro-USB A (!! not the normal micro-USB B) connector behind the screen. (Mine has an eject button on it, which opens the whole screen down, and you can unscrew 4 screws to get access to this micro USB A port.

The port looks like this: h ttps://i.imgur.com/bfFFnk8.jpg , I hope it is what I think it is.

I do not have the cable yet. I have ordered one, I hope it will arrive soon.

Another possibility it to sniff all the traffic while the Honda Connect App is updating, because that app can install other apps with the normal android install process. But this needs a little more time, and I am little short of free time right now :)

I'll update if I have any news.
[Security Discussion] venturacom:
