Have you set the all the permissions correctly using Mike's Permissions app?
[Security Discussion] quicoli:
Yes, I did. I'm using the version from cmdroid, what version are you using?

---------- Post added at 05:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 AM ----------

Yes, the weird is it was working for 1 day... suddenly it started request those configuration steps.

I'm using the version from cmdroid.com, what version are you using? Or, would you recommend me swap it for Sygic?

Thanks
[Security Discussion] peterat8:
I used both Waze and Sygic. Never used iGo. Both worked ok. With Sygic put maps on usb to save head unit memory. Any updates caused a loss of permissions and they had to be reset.

At present, having RC8 and not rooted, use the built in Garmin. Will wait for being out of warranty before mess with rooting.
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
No, you don't need iroot. That is the "rip the dashboard out to access the HU hidden USB port" method.

Whilst you *could* use that method, you don't need to anymore. Just downgrade firmware to RC6, install Honda Permissions and then upgrade to RC8 again.

Instructions and files with within this thread. A search should bring them to light. ;)
[Security Discussion] pfefferkuchen:
I have a question, I don't know why, but my installed Spotify app closes every time after a few seconds after I started the car.

When I start Spotify again, it runs perfectly.

I have installed a USB memory stick because of the low system memory and the constant system error message that the memory is too scarce.

I would like to use an external memory to avoid this.

What could be the reason why Spotify always crashes once and then runs smoothly when I restart it?

I'm connected to the Internet with a LTE Wlan stick in the second USB slot.

Thanks
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
What RC version is your HU running?

I ask because I'm running RC8 (after downgrading to RC6 to install Honda Permissions then upgraded again to RC8) and I've noticed that some apps, especially my Google Maps is starting to quit itself.

I ran RC6 for a while before I upgraded to RC8 again and never had any problems on RC6. I'm thinking of going back to RC6 myself.

I don't use Spotify, sorry, but I just wondered if this could be related.
[Security Discussion] pfefferkuchen:
RC6

[Security Discussion] maecar:
This is normal. The USB ports have a delay to be detected by the head unit. When you start your car, and your Spotify cache is located on the USB, it doesn't find the cache and close the app. The solution to this is disable spotify cache on the USB drive.
[Security Discussion] herdamit:
It's not only an issue of the usb drive but WLan as well. Many apps depending on WLan close after restart of the connect system when WLan is not immediately connected.
[Security Discussion] pfefferkuchen:
Thanks maecar and herdamit ?

Hi, looks like google dropped services for android 4.04, yesterday i just observed stopping of google maps navigation- app crashes when i set destination Do you have same troubles?
[Security Discussion] nicholas-c:
I've came across the same issue and it's stopped being useful at all - Resorted to Waze for now.

After searching an address, and tapping "start" the app crashes out - This may be because Google have updated their services following this: https://www.theverge.com/2019/1/19/18189559/google-maps-speed-limits-android-and-ios-apps

What would be great, is if Android could be upgraded and we could use Google services and latest version of Google maps (With speed limits and all)... But that's just a pipedream I'm sure :D
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
All this means is Google has dropped services for Android versions 4 to 4.0.4 by retiring API 14 and 15. Which means no further updates to Google Play Services which the Honda HU never had anyway.

Google Maps should continue to work as before, which wasn't perfect anyway but it does work.

I'm still convinced it's RC8 that causes my Google Maps problems and I'm going to downgrade to RC6 today to check it out. (Still haven't got around to it yet!)

If RC6 runs fine, I'm staying on RC6 as I never had any problems with RC6 anyway. I'll report back how it goes for anyone interested.
[Security Discussion] nicholas-c:
I never upgraded my HU to RC8 and was running RC6 I believe - Google maps was crashing for me when starting navigation.
[Security Discussion] Darsdd:
Exactly, i can start google maps, check traffic or use a navigation by bicycle.... but not for driving a car Maps crashes just in moment of route calculation by google server I also changed to Waze, so far looks OK (waze ver dated 10th Aug 2017, last for 4.04 Android)
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
Strange. Never was keen on Waze myself anyhow.

Right, downgraded to RC6 and Google Maps OK so far. Was only a quick test though really so have to try it out next times I pop out in the car over the next few days or so.

Have you tried a warm-start reboot on your HU? Sometimes the HU gets stuffed up and sluggish over time and a reboot seems to sort it out.
[Security Discussion] dvhttn:
I need/want to upgrade the HU in my wife's Jazz and have done the obligatory searching of the thread etc but can't find the answer to this question … I have an ISO for RC6 but no instructions as to installation. Possible? Or is it from ANOther car (non-Jazz)? I have the other necessary files so can use the 'usb' stick approach.

Oh, and I know RC6.1 needs to be installed over RC6 but RC6 itself implies you can install it over any previous version. Correct?

Ta.
[Security Discussion] domel76:
The same. I can start google maps, search, check traffic but when I start navigation the app crash.

I've restored factory settings, installed and configure permissions apk and installed google maps (8.1.0 and 8.4.1), but still doesn't work.

Is there workaround?

I've tried to install MicroG Services but still doesn't work or I can't configure MicroG.
[Security Discussion] domel76:
Is navigation in Google Maps works? Could you confirm?

Could you write a build number and Android version?

MICRO OG

Hello,

-1 For log in google maps or youtube i have installed Microg but i can not log in , it gets stucked on Just a sec.... any idea?

-2 is there any other adeas to log in youtube or google maps without Micro og??

Thanks
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
Well, it looks like I'm hit by the plague now. My Google Maps has started force closing, just like most of you are experiencing.

I've tried RC6, RC8 and reinstalling, it's no go for Google Maps anymore, for sure. Gutted! Oh well, it was good while it lasted.

My MapsFactor Navigator maps is also erratic and force closing, so I've uninstalled that too.

So far, Magic Earth is working for me and (I think) CoPilot but for how long? who knows.......

To be fair, it's getting rather stupid now that the HU is STILL running on Android 4.0.4

They're gonna HAVE to upgrade it at some point or at least change the HU in future models.

If any more maps start closing, I'll have little choice but to use the CarLink mode via USB and Waze on my phone which then mirrors onto the HU.

Last time I tried it, it wasn't that bad, just a tad slow but still not as good as Google Maps. Still, it's better than nowt.

PS. I, too, tried MicroG. It's not compatible. :(
[Security Discussion] hafidelbazdari:
Thank you for your answer, so the probléme is the old version of android it's sure.

Juste i want to add somthings , i'm using a pro version of Sygic and it works good now (with or witkout internet), i use waze too and it works perfect.

thanks
[Security Discussion] peterat8:
When I asked Honda CS whether the 4.0.4 head unit will be upgraded to enable the use of Android Auto, the reply basically said that Honda had no plans to upgrade the system used in 'older vehicles' to run Android Auto or update to a later version of Android. They said that yearly 'patches' would be made for the system when necessary.

So I'm afraid we are stuck with what we've got.

Interestingly, there have been some reports of head unit failures, especially if you use the Garmin map update. According to Garmin failures are due to the head unit failing to write the correct information to the update garmindevice.xml file so causing a failure for maps to update and the sat nav no longer working. No factory reset cures this failure.

The latest Garmin 2019.0 map update had to be withdrawn in December (when released) due to failure to work via Garmin Express. I've noticed on my .xml that it has not written the vin number to the file so possible failure at update later this year? Honda say it's not their problem. Garmin say it's not theirs.

Typical! Anything to get out of blame.
[Security Discussion] Manfred.62:
From my experience: Waze and Sygic working ok (more or less). But sadly this Connect is a really old thing.

I have pulled my conclusions and now using something else: https://xdaforums.com/android-auto/...nda-hr-dasaita-ha5248-v480-8-android-t3858168

It's a difference like day and night!
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
This would be ridiculous, especially when you consider the sluggishness and limitations of 4.0.4 now and especially when other countries Honda cars and HU's have a more up-to-date system than we have. Not by much, admittedly but it helps. I really can't see how they can keep it 4.0.4 for much longer realistically and I wouldn't hold my breath on what Honda CS said being gospel. Either way, we'll just have to wait and see.

For now, it's looking like I have little choice but to run Magic Earth or CoPilot, both which run fine on my HU so at least I have a choice and do at least have some maps on the unit.

I tried to get Mirrorlink working again which was fine when I first got the car from the dealer when the HU was running RC7. I plugged my Samsung Galaxy S9 into the USB of the car and Mirrorlink kicked in no problems then. now, however, it just says it's connecting and looks like it's thinking about it. Nothing happens. So I decided to try ensuring the HU was fully upgraded to RC8, still no Mirrorlink. So I did a complete wipe factory reset and tried again - still no joy. :(

So I had no choice but to downgrade to RC6 in order to install Honda Permissions, Magic Earth and CoPilot once again. They work fine. Even tried Mirrorlink again at this point, just in case. Nope.

If anyone can shed any light on why Mirrorlink worked on my HU when I got the car last Summer and now no longer.....? Surely it can't be because it was RC7 that did it? Do we know of any links to download RC7 upgrade files?

My only other option is to do what I always used to do in the past - use my phone as SatNav with Google Maps. It works great at the end of the day but it's nicer to use the HU's screen, innit........
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
UPDATE......

I solved the mystery of my Mirrorlink not working. Apparently, Waze is no longer supported by Mirrorlink so although I had Waze installed on my pnone, Mirrorlink wouldn't show up on the HU because I had no other supported apps installed. (You need at least one supported app for Mirrorlink to connect and appear. )

So the only alternative is Sygic which would mean paying nearly 100 quid for the Connected Pack in order to use it. No thanks!

No other maps work, not even Google Maps. :(

So I gave TeamViewer another try again today. At least that's free.
[Security Discussion] peterat8:
Sygic Car Navigation is quite clunky in operation.

Haven't you a Samsung phone? That should have Car Mode as a Samsung preinstalled app so you should be able to connect via that app and can run apps on your phone and they appear on the screen. My Note 4 does.
[Security Discussion] hafidelbazdari:
Hello,

Can you tell me how to connect my samsung S6 to my HU using mirrorlink ,can i use HDMI cable cable or Usb Cable??

Thanks
[Security Discussion] peterat8:
Using mirrorlink, use usb connection to master one in armrest. Should automatically connect but you need a mirrorlink enabled app from google play on the phone. Plenty of music ones available for free, just search google play for mirrorlink.
[Security Discussion] globalist:
Over at cmdroid.com you can find 2 versions of Waze. According to Waze support they've now enabled toll passes for versions startin with v4.28 so if you install v4.28.0.1 you should be able to add them. I've not yet tested this though.

Semi related question for other folks here: can you maybe istall other versions besides those listed at cmdroid.com? Or are they somehow "pre-cracked" for use with Honda HUs? Thanks!
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
I have the Samsung Galaxy S9, yes. And no, it didn't come with CarMode preinstalled.

I did download it from Play Store and try it out but it's still limited to Sygic. :(

Mirrorlik finely works

Hello ,

Finely mirrorlink works with my Samsung S6 and my HU , using CarMode of samsung but it's limited i can't find all my phone's applications in thr HU.

any idés??
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
You got it. It's limited. That's CarMode and MirrorLink for you. It's VERY limited.

However, there is an app called Full Mirror for Mirror Link you could try, it costs over a fiver and there's no trial app. You could always press the Refund in Google Play if it doesn't work for you.

No it doesn't. Read somewhere you can get it to work via mirrorlink. I'll see if I can find the link.

Check out you tube and search for S6 mirrorlink. Brings up some interesting videos. Some need root, others don't.

Sat Nav apps

When I read your post (without reading other ones) I said to myself, well, it's a pity, but luckily I don't use mirrorlink (I used to, even bought a HTC phone so it's nicely connected, but re-doing all connections after each engine start-up was driving me mad).

Unfortunately, then I realised that google maps don't work also on HU... And it was the best thing I had on HU (next to watching cartoons).

I'm in the process of establishing a sat nav app that would work properly and at the moment WAZE is the only working thingy for me.

But I really wish there was something with pre-loaded maps (if I'm in the middle of nowhere with no phone - waze is no good...unless there's McDonald with free wifi around, but to find the nearest you often need sat nav).

I spent 3 nights installing Navmii and out of 10-12 older versions I tried I managed to install one that was not crashing after pressing "start to navigate" button. Unfortunately, then I tried to upgrade to a newer version, as the one I've found (6.11) was too sluggish and the new one kept crashing. So I installed 5 newer ones, they were crashing and crashing. I went back to the 6.11 version and guess what - crashed as well. I cleaned cache, uninstalled previous version, started clean and I dunno why it worked previously and it doesn't anymore...

I decided to try different apps. Tried to install CoPilot (from cmdroid.com), but look what happens when I try to install it:

youtu.be/Xx6l4W-WaeI

I'm giving up slowly... what am I doing wrong? I read this thread probably 3 times by now from the beginning to an end and I got an impression that CoPilot worked for everyone without any probs...

Now I'm considering Sygic, but the installation instruction (on this thread, page 88 I think) is so vague I don't understand it (must be my English skills) - people keep banging on about the obb file, but what on earth is that? second thing - how do I access SDCard folder to copy that obb thingy - do I even have SDCard on Honda Connect without "+"?

I'm confused.com...

Are there any other offline/online sat nav apps that are worth trying?

thank you for your patience
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
For now, I'm using and sticking with CoPilot and Magic Earth, both available from cmdroid, both are working no problems.

Your YouTube appears to show it installs OK. Did you try to reboot the HU and try again? Does the app icon show in the installed apps menu?

Trust me, it does work.

UPDATE.....

Someone else posting later on this reminded me - you have to ensure you set Permissions BEFORE you run the program from the start. I'd forgotten about that. It's been a while since I did it and the information is posted somewhere back in this thread, some 100 odd pages previous.
[Security Discussion] acmevagabundo:
Just to say thank you to all who provided usefull posts regarding Honda software (I didn't remember nicknames). Mainly to person who provided RC8 update.

System in my car was very old, and when I try to Connect my phone with car system, it says that phone isnt supported. I try with different phones (Mainly Samsung and one of HTC). I upgrade car system with files I found on this thread, and now with ease I can Connect my car (CRV) with phone (Galaxy S8+) running Samsung Car Mode.
[Security Discussion] greengriff:
For those of you who - like me - landed on this thread after a google search and are shivering at the thought of ploughing through nearly 300 pages to find the info you want, here it is:

Simple instructions on getting the apps you want onto your Honda head unit:

Unfortunately because I'm a new member I cannot put links in this post which kind of ruins its utility! :(. I've replaced the . in the links with a * so if you edit them back then you will have the info you need. Hopefully a more senior member will chime in and post the links directly after this post to make everyone's life easier!

Get a USB flash drive and format it to fat32.

Install this zip file on it:

drive*google*com/file/d/1dLnl6URHkL0AO-u6jDay9d7h58eZYrsA/view

Put the drive into the port in your car, start the engine and, when the head unit has booted up hold down the day/night, power, and menu buttons simultaneously for about 4-5 seconds.

The unit will restart and will install the firmware from the flash drive. This will take some time so leave the engine running and wait until it informs you the update is complete. Remove the USB drive and turn off the engine.

Wipe the drive and then install this file on it:

kahur*ee/a/permission/HondaAppCenter_A1.apk

Put the flash drive back in your car, start the head unit, go to the android ‘install apps’ option and follow the instructions.

Once done take the flash drive and wipe it again. Go to cmdroid.com and get the app you want and pop it on the drive. then follow the app installation instructions above again and bingo. Rinse and repeat until you have everything you want and life is good.

For me it was sat nav. Copilot installed but wouldn't run (I have no clue why), but Waze installed and ran perfectly.

My sincere thanks to legsmaniac for helping me to get this done.
[Security Discussion] sleepwalk3r:
I can confirm that the Waze 4.28.0.1 now works fine again. It is now possible to add/remove toll passes.

You can install basically any app that is compatible with Android 4.0.4. Most of the cmdroid apps are just renamed to HondaAppCenter_A1.apk.

i *think* that some of the paid apps on there may be pre-cracked (i'm however not 100% sure about that).
[Security Discussion] globalist:
Yes I can confirm the newer Waze working as well!

Also, thanks for your explanation! Makes me wonder - is there maybe an even newer Waze that's still compatible with Android 4.0.4 so I could install that instead of 4.28.0.1?

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 AM ----------

What exactly is the "firmware" and why do you need to install it first? Is it RC6? If yes, then your instructions are a bit misleading, because you cannot go back to RC6 on older Honda models such as the 2016 HR-V.

You need to set up the permissions for each app process as detailed at http://cmdroid.com/tutorials (parameters PDF). Did you do that?
[Security Discussion] LayzJay:
Revisiting this thread but apologies I can't recall what's in all these pages now.

I plugged in my HTC U12+ into the HDMI port via USB C, I got the extra arrows on the right handside of the screen. But when I click on them it says "unable to connect to mobile device using bluetooth. Please check settings in the audio unit".

But bluetooth was connected according to both the phone and HU.

The phone didn't get mirrored to the HU.

Any ideas what's going on here?

Same story with a HTC 10 and a NVIDIA Shield K1 tablet.

But If I go into the input screen and select HDMI the shield displays instantly full-screen, the HTC 10 displays but not full screen. The HTC U12+ displays but also not full screen and sometimes disconnects.

Is there a way of overriding the handbrake switching the screen off and also getting touch on the HU?

Also force full screen?
[Security Discussion] trabant600:
Yes!!!!

Finally! Finally someone who also has a problem with the Copilot....

Well, I think (please correct me if I'm wrong, Greengriff) the problem with Copilot is that after installing nothing happens (does not start at all) despite being on the app list and looks like it has been installed properly. I don't think it has anything to do with permissions, as the permissions only help to use it while driving - they would not make a difference to start the app after installation when engine is switched off. Am I right...?
[Security Discussion] globalist:
It never hurts to set up the process permissions and see what happens, right?
[Security Discussion] greengriff:
That's correct. Copilot simply will not start. I gave it all the permissions that it asked for during the setup. Has anyone else had - and overcome - this issue?
[Security Discussion] globalist:
Yes the apps will ask for permission during install/setup, but

you also need to set up the process permission manually after the app is installed

. So I ask again, have you done that?
[Security Discussion] greengriff:
No. I'll go and have a look at that shortly and eedback.

---------- Post added at 11:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 AM ----------

I've nipped out to the car and had a look at the app's permissions in the android menu. Everything is allowed. Or am I misunderstanding what you mean? If I am please can you explain what I need to do in more detail?
[Security Discussion] globalist:
You need to set up the permissions for each app process as detailed at http://cmdroid.com/tutorials (read the "parameters" PDF). This is done using the HondaPermissions app that you install first (HR-V PERMISSIONS 1.1 S_Mike.apk).
[Security Discussion] greengriff:
Cheers. I'll have a read over lunch.
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
In addition to the above, it's very important that you type in the correct process and package name which is com.alk.copilot.eumarket.premiumeupan (same for both)

It's also very important that you only download the CoPilot version which is hosted on cmdroid because it's been hacked to work on units with no Google. non-hacked versions will not work.

Hope this helps.
[Security Discussion] globalist:
Do you know if any other cmdroid APKs are hacked in this way? Or is CoPilot the only one?

Reason I ask is to know whether I can install e.g. a version of Waze that's later than the one offered on cmdroid.

Thanks!
