Hello,

I finally set again the permissions and now my Honda Connect RC04 works fine with any app I installed. :)

Just some trouble with the connection: the WiFi module seems cheap in general ( it doesn't connect to my house WiFi from a short distance, while I can connect easily with my iPhone and my MacBook), and the connection is unstable with the hotspot created with my iPhone to connect while driving, so I need sometimes to open the Android Settings to reset the connection, but I can't because I can't access it while driving.

So i thought to set the permissions of the Android Settings process in a way i can use it while driving, but... which one is the name of the process?

Thanks.

Hi,

What is Honda Connect RC04?

Is it an update to the HU software?
[Security Discussion] JimiSan:
Yes, it's the latest release of the Honda Connect software.

JimiSan
[Security Discussion] sparky333:
Thanks.

How do you install it? From Honda App Center?

What features does it bring?
[Security Discussion] JimiSan:
Installed from the vendor. Search in this thread, there are all the info some pages back...
[Security Discussion] xxlmoon:
Okay, someone has to make the 1000th Post...

Yesterday I installed Copilot-Navi. App starts, I dowloaded the Maps i need, everything works... Until I start the Car. It wont work when ignition is on 2. I tried some combinations in the Permissions-App, but nothing helps.

What are the right Permissions for Copilot?

When do I have to set these Permissions? Right after install before Start? I dont get it...

someone can write an app that can turn on and off the 4G connection and tethring smartphone via bluethoot , perhaps having a widget on honda connect
[Security Discussion] midddle:
It was pretty low to advertise Hondas with android system (was not clear which model year/region contained exactly what, but the Android word was all over), when it's only good for playing music with a pretty old fashioned player (unless paying a lot for navigation). Thanks a lot for saving me from desperation, my best choice was to duck tape a tablet in from of the car's display to gain proper navigation before you sorted this out! Definitely sending a beer!

From other posts I started to fear one day Honda might come up with an "essential update", and after a regular service this hack will not work any more. I'm not familiar with android so deep, so I ask here if it is possible that an update overwrites the system we can factory reset to? If it is possible, can we make a backup of the reset system so that a rollback is possible even if Honda chooses to fix this vulnerability?

Do you mean so that when you get in the car with a Smartphone, the phone auto connects to the Head Unit thereby allowing it 3G/4G WiFi? I do this. :)
[Security Discussion] zealucard:
Personally, I'm using Trigger that you can find on the Play Store.

It do the job very well !
[Security Discussion] Mlaff85:
I am using tasker on my phone not on the headunit to turn on tethering hotspot, once the bluetooth connects to "Honda HFT", works fine. and the headunit auto connects to the wifi network after the first time you enter the wifi password.
[Security Discussion] tutan123:
usually when I'm in the car and I want to use Internet on the connect I have to take the smartphone to activate 3g / 4g connection and theathring , I want to be able to activate 3g / 4g and theathring by the honda connect via a widget using the bluethoot connection , I believe that it takes a client server app
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
I see others have posted using Trigger and Tasker. I'm sure they do the job well. Myself? I'm using Automate.

What I do is pair the phone to Bluetooth on the car (which I want to do anyway.)

Set up a Hotspot on the phone. Set the Car Wifi to the Hotspot.

Set Automate to > When in car connected to Bluetooth > Turn on Hotspot > When leaving car > Turn off Hotspot.

Simple as that. No need to install anything on the car head unit, no widgets, nothing.
[Security Discussion] tutan123:
I want to be able to choose when to activate the teathring without taking smartphone
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
In that case, just turn on (or not) Wi-Fi hotspot on smartphone.
[Security Discussion] tutan123:
turn on (or not) Wi-Fi hotspot and 3g/4g on smartphone without use the smartphone just click on the honda connect
[Security Discussion] Mlaff85:
Why? if you want a internet connection you will need to have smartphone or device with 3g/4g present? why not just leave it on the head unit all the time and configure via the smart phone, from what I am reading you want to control your smartphones settings via connect is that correct?
[Security Discussion] tutan123:
yes i want to control smartphones settings via honda connect, the teathring consumes a lot of battery and I do not need always on when I drive but I do not want to use smartphone to activate it
[Security Discussion] Mlaff85:
not sure if teamviewer and quick settings would help but you would need to hope TV worked on the Connect system, I am not sure of a way to control actual android settings from another android device, someone else might know, I would say leaving it on and having a car charger would be an easier solution? good luck with it
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
But you still have control on the Smartphone by turning on or off the Hotspot (which auto connects to the Head Unit) so YOU decide when you teather.

I still don't get why you would want control on the Head Unit. Unless you intend to control it while driving, which is still illegal.

My Smartphone is always plugged in when driving so always 100% battery wherever I go. Even when teathering. :)

How to enter existing Copilot account to app?

Thanks for the excellent tip! I'm very happy with Copilot. I've purchased premium version for Europe to my phone. Is there any way to enter my existing Copilot account information to app in Honda Connect? During first start it asks if I have account already, but I can't scroll the screen.
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
Yes, I found that problem too. Only way I can think of is to enter any old email address to set up during first start, even just a fictitious one. Then once set up, you could go into the settings, My Account and change your details there?

Magic Earth navigation update

the last days there was an update for Magic Earth. But the new version 7.1.16.31 now needs minimum Android 4.1. Not useful for us anymore.

Also they changed the format of the maps.

Example: until now the map for Germany was one file, size about 2.4GB. Now they splitted it into 16 files (provinces).

Does anyone already use the new map-files with the "old" version 7.0.15.48 of Magic Earth? Any problems?
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
It's still working fine for me. Still preferring CoPilot but I did update Magic Earth as I like it as a back up. :)

EDIT

Just re-read your post. I should add I didn't update Magic Earth, the app itself, just the maps. It told me there was an update to the maps so I updated.

Stick with the old version of Magic Earth and it's fine. :)
[Security Discussion] mathmake:
OK, thanks! I had visited My Account before, but my information was greyed and so I thought I can't change it.

Magic Earth navigation update

It doesn't work for me. Tried to copy the new 15 files (Germany) to my usb-stick. But MagicEarth (old version) didn't recognized them and automatically deleted? the files.

I think, the difference is that your UK map is still one big file. Most of the other countries are now splitted in different files. Check it yourself. UK map is only 1 file. E.g. Italy, Austria or Germany are a lot of files. Maybe this makes the difference?

Made a check and gone online (in Honda). Looked which files are available in MagicEarth (old version). It showed me the single big file for Germany.

Now I copied back the old big file. MagicEarth works again.

Hmm, poor situation. Means, no more updates for the maps from now on.

EDIT:

I have installed MagicEarth on my smartphone to always get the updated maps. Then I copy the maps from smartphone to usb-stick (Honda).

Now I installed the old version on the smartphone again. Then checking maps and it showed me the "old" single big file. Result:

old version works with the single map-file

newer versions work with lot of small map-files

Seems, the maps are not compatible. Will the old-style maps be updated furthermore??

Help me guys!

New trouble with my Honda Connect. - now "Install" is not greyed, but i can't press(select) it at all. Did someone encounter this?

Is the factory reset the only option?

How to cure this please?
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
Try this......

Open Honda Permissions.

First one top of the list HondaAppCenter_A1 - press hold to select it - edit

Is the second line a series of letters and numbers? If so, delete and replace with PREINSTALL - click Save.

See if that helps.

If not then yes, Factory Reset may well be the only option.
[Security Discussion] nixuspix:
Checked this place - there is everything OK. Looks i have to go factory reset and long reinstall process of everything. And not 100% sure that the install functionality will be restored that way. I am still curious how it could happen during full reboot procedure ( 10sec power button)
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
Android reset, not HU reset.
[Security Discussion] nixuspix:
That's i am talking about - i made only HU reboot, just to reset some things and after that the ability to install apk vanished. Normally it should not be influenced by HU reboot

Problem with the "audio power off" message

Hello,

I installed honda permissions and waze( with correct permissions) on my 2015 Honda Cr-v and I started receiving the " audio power off" message.

I received the message first at boot up and now it seems to appear when I try to access the audio menu after boot-up.

Am I doing something wrong regarding the permissions and is there a way remove this problem?

Your help would be much appreciated.

Thank you
[Security Discussion] nixuspix:
Just press Menu Button ( Under Power) and you will be moved to the normal screen
[Security Discussion] andutzu999:
Thank you for the answer.

I already tried that, when the message was appearing at boot up. It doesn't any more, it appears when I try to access the audio menu and I cannot seem to make it go away only by using the source button on the steering wheel.

My question is....this problem is encountered by everybody that installed honda permissions and waze or something went wrong during my install?

Could it have something to do with the fact that after installing honda permissions and waze, I stupidly updated the official Honda app( and afterwards made sure the permissions for waze were in order)?

Thank you

From your experience: which navigation is better, sygic or copilot?
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
CoPilot for me, personally. :)
[Security Discussion] Manfred.62:
yes, that's the reason. The update of HondaAppCenter overwrites some files.

You have to check the permissions again. Also under allowed installations you have to set it back to "PREINSTALL" , otherwise you cannot install more apps.

Can you double check apps from external sources is still ticked, just a theory I have, thanks
[Security Discussion] nixuspix:
No this didn't, only Factory Reset helped
[Security Discussion] antonionni1:
I confirm, if you copy new map file, the old magic earth don't show and cancel it even if the file is single and not splitted.

One way to download old files, is install Route 66 (https://www.generalmagic.com/wp-content/uploads/previous-versions/ROUTE66-NAVIGATE-6.66.15.48.BDF2521.97CA016_api9_aarch32.apk) on a smartphone, then download the maps you need, and then coping in the HU.

But the maps are simply, without the buildings ecc, only the streets.

What a pity ... I liked Magic Earth, and now I need to use another navigator ... Sygic? Copilot??

BTW: we can share the last old map file ... I have Italy,Croatia,Austria and Slovenia downloaded on may, someone has others countries?

BTW1: are you sure the new version is not installable on Android 4.0.4? Someone has tried?
[Security Discussion] nixuspix:
Big trouble

I still can't understand what's going on.

The problem - my system is loosing ability to install apps after some undefined period of time with no reason. Not that the "Install" button becomes grey, it just become unselectable ( can't press on it)

I thought at the beginning that is may be of full reboot ( power button pressed about 10sec) or performing HondaApp upgrade ( 2 actually are available)

System is still 4.0.4, Honda Permissions look like it should, everything that was installed prior to that phenomena, continues to work normally

Have installed Spotify, iGO, Sygic, Magic Earth,Car Home Ultra, some more stuff. From Google have installed Google Play Services, Google Contacts and Calendar sync, Play Store,

Sometimes i can install from the scratch everything i want, but sometimes this s..t happens much earlier and i have to start from the beginning.

Now i can't even install HondaApp and AhaRadio updates

Disappeared buttons

Maybe anybody can help me, I worried a little bit right now, dont understand what happened with my HUD.

The problem is that the main big buttons (settings, audio, system, phone) disappeared today. The little buttons of the installed like waze, magic earth is there, but the 4 big operation button is nowhere.

At my morning ride to my workplace the first bad sign in my car was that it doesnt recognized my usb stick. But only the audio files didnt work, the magic earth app could be worked with the maps installed to the same stick. At the evening I analised the usb with my PC and ran a virus scan, got no special info.

I made a diagnostic analysis in the hidden menu of the HUD, everything was ok. It recognized the usb and show the right used and free space. I restart the system and the engine as well several time. No change.

The last change I made with the HUD that installed the copilot EU navi app. And try to download the full EU maps but were not enough space, I deleted this and downloaded only a few maps. I feel a little lags with the system after this app, so I deleted this today.

I have the original 4.0.4 android system.

My questions:

How can I get my settings buttons back?

How can I use my usb stick to listen music again?

How can I reboot the sysytem?

Thank you for your helping advise in advance!
[Security Discussion] Manfred.62:
Reboot: long press the power-button

Better you make a factory reset under Android system setting. Afterwards you can start from the beginning...
[Security Discussion] Vucctok:
Upps, I tried to reboot the HUD with the power and vol. down buttons. It restarted but need a code. Maybe the anti theft code. But I dont give any code for the HUD. What is the factory default code or where can I find this code? I read through the service manual and found nothing.
[Security Discussion] Manfred.62:
Switch ignition to position II, then long press power button again.

So, i Managed to install something.

I had to reset to factory default before i could though.

I have another problem now. I have installed Copilot from CMHonda. The APK installed, but it won't open. I get black screen for about a second and than nothing.

ideas?
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
You haven't set the Honda Permissions. ;)
[Security Discussion] :
so, this is what i did in order:

1) installed Honda Permissions

2) installed copilot

3) i configured the paramenters according to this --> http://cmhonda.net/documentacao/Par%E2metros/Parametros.pdf

Do i need to do more? should i configure the paramenters BEFORE i install install copilot?

---------- Post added at 12:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:19 PM ----------

i think i might have found the problem.

i configured:

process name: CoPilot Live Europe Full

Package name: com.alk.copilot.eumarket.premiumeupan

i think i undestand that i need to set "com.alk.copilot.eumarket.premiumeupan" as both, isn't it?

[Security Discussion] :
Thank you, maybe just one more question.

the version i downloaded from CMHonda is actually old. Can we use the latest from Google Play, or just isn't compatible with Android 4.0.4 ? (as far as you can tell of course)

---------- Post added at 01:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 PM ----------

so,

this is the version i got from CMHonda:

[IMG="CMHonda Version"]https://s3.postimg.io/6x94735hv/af973u_1471417261039.png[/IMG]

while this is the latest we have from the playstore:

[IMG="Play_store_version"]https://s3.postimg.io/k2omd6zdf/af973u_1471417261169.png[/IMG]

now, they are both compatible with android 4.0.4 ... I'd assume the newer version can be installed.

i'll try and let you know
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
I hope you haven't tried yet! I can tell you now, it won't work.

The version you have installed is, as far as I have ever been able to find, the only version that has been "modified" to work because it's been set so that it doesn't ask for Google Play Services.

All other versions, including the latest version wants to communicate with Google Play and since it can't, it will close itself.

Stick with the version you have. It's still a good working version and the maps are always the latest anyway.
[Security Discussion] teamjp:
Hello,

Did someone attempt to install Google Play services?
[Security Discussion] :
Makes sense... thank you :)
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
Someone did, but mainly to get Sygic working fully I believe. I (and someone else) tried it and it was a bit hit and miss. Some things worked OK, some things it messed up.

I ended up uninstalling it all.

Even so, you would only be able to use the latest versions (or any other versions) of CoPilot if you have purchased it because the apps check with Google Play for a licence.

The version on CMHonda doesn't check. ;)
[Security Discussion] teamjp:
OK Legsmaniac, thank you for your answer. This is not to copilot I want to make it work but for other applications as iCoyote for example requiring Google play services.
[Security Discussion] teamjp:
Legsmaniac,

Do you remember which version of Google Play services have you installed? Where did you find it?

I tried to install multiple versions and each time the installation fails, until old Version "Google Play services 4.4.48".
