I use the newest version of sygic 16.1.10. I have install the version on my note 3. Next i have copy the base.apk and obb file from note on usb stick. In Honda connect in copy the files....startet perfekt.

The Problem with newer Version as 16.0.10 is GPS. If the program start with gps on freeze syngic. If start syngic with gps of perfect. I startet gps in syngic Program.

Sorry my English is very bad, i can only write in a good German language.

I solution is edit in syngic settings, to start gps later.

Or to use the program gps status & working. 1. Start this program and waiting if found any satellite. 2. Pudh the home button and start syngic.

Hallo, I'm trying to do very simple refactoring on some android apps to better fit Honda Connect, I found several apps to be forced in portait mode (Bla Bla Car is one of them), using Android MultiTool (3.5.8) I decompiled it, I found the layout settings in AndroidManifest and I changed it, I recompiled it and signed the .apk file . Now I'm going to reinstall it but I noticed that in the very first post of the orginal MultiTool 3d there was a warning regarding replacement of AndroidManifest.xml file... to cut it short it seems that AndroidManifest.xml file should be picked up from the original source .apk and NOT recompiled.. It sound confusing to me first because modifying manifest is one of the few thing that can be done to decompiled sources without further processing and second because it's really UNCLEAR if this warning refers to the file in compessed apk, uncompressed folder, decompiled folder, raw or what... I tried asking in Android Multitool thread but after a week nobody replied (probably I'm too newbie there).. Someone here had experience with this tool?

BTW I've a large experence in coding but a modest knowledge of Android apps development BUT I'm willing to learn.

Thanks Knolle100, will try your suggestion (start Sygic without GPS) and let you know.

Well, unfortunately I have to disappoint you. I had to install Google Play services in order to make uccw work. Found a version that I could install, but had no GPS and bluetooth service afterwards. The widget worked perfectly but needless to say I had to remove it again... I am now looking for a widget maker that doesn't need that freaking play services and works with 4.0.4 and have to try again I think...

Great thread

Just wanted to say thanks for this thread guys. I now have waze in my car ?

I have a problem where I can't install from usb or Dropbox but fine from cmhonda. Any ideas how to fix this as I really want Amazon music in car.

Anybody got videos to work while driving? Mine still cuts out even when permissions are correct.
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
I was so excited when I discovered this thread, having taken delivery of a new Honda Jazz and really like the idea of being able to install my own apps, particularly Google Maps so I made sure to read the whole thread. Yes, all 71 pages of it! :laugh:

However, either I have the wrong system or I'm doing something wrong. Missing a step perhaps. I'm in the UK so surely it's an EU system, running Android 4.0.4, Developer Mode enabled, Unknown Sources, USB Debugging? Yet try to install S_Mike's Permissions app renamed to HondaAppCenter_A1.apk as suggested from USB, Install is greyed out. So I download it instead from CMHONDA and install that way, it appears to install then says X Application Not Installed. :confused:

Any suggestions gratefully received.
[Security Discussion] Beck511:
Reset

Try resetting to factory settings that worked for me. When you update you will loose all the custom permissions and will have to redo them but the apps will remain installed.
[Security Discussion] Ynnoc:
Has happened to me also try this ; install via USB. Right- click on Permission app(USB) choose properties , then details . There, the name of the file named exactly HondaAppCenter_A1.apk . Windows ( if used ) usually cause problems and can add some extensions so, modify o delete. Worked for me.
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
And the procedure to reset to factory settings is..... ? Thanks.
[Security Discussion] Beck511:
It's in android settings I think. Nothing crazy just an option to select in the menu.
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
Is that all?! LOL I was assuming you meant a combination of buttons to reset the entire HeadUnit.

So.... It's thanks to you, I reset the Android to Factory Settings and installed Honda Permissions first go without a hitch. :good:

I then installed Chrome and Google Maps 8.4.1 from CMhonda, also without a hitch.

Tried to sign in with my account but it asks for Google Play Services. I recall reading in this thread it's not advisable/pointless? That's a shame. I'd like to have my Google Maps link to my phone and laptop so that any map searches auto appear in the car. Anyone succeeded with this option? And what about sound? Do you get voice navigation too or do I need to install some voice apps?
[Security Discussion] Beck511:
I used Waze (owned by Google anyway) it's works flawlessly except for the voice input won't work. You can sign in and see your data on other devices.
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
Hmmm, never been that keen on Waze but I'll give it a try. Not worried about voice input. Can always have a choice I guess, or uninstall it after if I don't like it.

Hi guys,

I've bought a Honda Civic from this year here Portugal(Europe) and the entire android system is locked by Honda, i was wondering if you guys already managed to unlock it so that we can install google apps and stuff.

My android system is on 4.0.1 version i think, will confirm later.

[Security Discussion] itsadam:
I'm glad you bothered to read at least a few posts in the thread.

Sorry, im at work, but ill dig deeper when i have time. Still need to check my android version, but i don't think its 4.0.4.
[Security Discussion] weirdgyn:
Hi, I found another pretty stupid behaviour of Honda Connect ... pairing a Bluetooth device can be really impossible !

Sometime ago I bought a bluetooth OBDII adapter to install on Civic Can Bus... I placed it and coupled with my phone ... it works... I also bought the full torque app (installed it on my phone obv).

Thanks to S_Mike I'm now able to install Torque also on Honda Connect ... pretty good... so I tried to couple Honda Connect with OBDII dongle...... but of course Honda Connect want me to put the pin code on the remote device instead asking me the remote paring code (please take note that my Android phone behave just this way).

Is there a way to change this behaviour? I can pass over OBDII but if I buy another bluetooth device without a keyboard I would like to have a chance to use it...
[Security Discussion] Beck511:
You don't have to bother. If you install an obd android app it seems to get all the data you need anyway.
[Security Discussion] weirdgyn:
What? Which app.? Where it get data if it's not paired with an OBD dongle?

---------- Post added at 05:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

Nope .. I just changed the Sha code associated with HondaAppCenter with PREINSTALL...trough Honda Permission app (Allowed Installations page) and everything works now.
[Security Discussion] Beck511:
Ok sorry, I stand corrected I just looked at my car. Turns out my mate left his obd scanner in mine. Might just have to steal it from him since it's hard to find one that will pair with Honda lol
[Security Discussion] weirdgyn:

Hi everyone, Anybody can leave the last sygic version link (app and update europe map s)? Thanks
[Security Discussion] Climbatize:
I'm curious, why so many people are interested in Sygic? Aren't Waze or Google Maps good enough? Just a simple question.
[Security Discussion] Maxrunner:
Hey, i can now confirm that my android version is indeed the 4.0.4, but i only start searching how to install apps. Do i only need to install the apk from s_mike? What if i want to revert to honda settings?
[Security Discussion] dziegiel:
Because Sygic offers offline maps.

[Security Discussion] Climbatize:
OK! Thanks! If only we had a way to get our Google account, Google Maps offers offline maps too...
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
I would suggest you read the entire thread like I did, you'll learn a lot. :)

But in summary, yes, you need to first install Honda Permissions from S_Mike and whatever apps you want to use, then set the permissions for them.

To revert to untouched original Honda headunit, just do a factory reset and it'll wipe the apps out. No warranty voided.

---------- Post added at 07:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 AM ----------

Only if it was possible to download to the headunit, which as far as I'm aware, it's not possible since it's locked and doesn't have the necessary permissions. Yet.

You can also only download small areas of Google Maps whereas Sygic gives you the whole country/countries.

Waze does not have offline maps and about Google Maps, i could not find the offline version, do you?
[Security Discussion] terencemunro:
Hi! I have a question concerning the torque app.

I think the head unit is connected to the canbus where it gets the fuel and kilometers information from.

Shouldn't be possible to read this data directly into an app like torque instead using a odb dongle?
[Security Discussion] Climbatize:
The shape is weird for a micro-USB connector, did you try pluging a cable to it?

VERY VERY Good job. This Connect units comes from which car model?

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 AM ----------

For everyone with the same problem. There's no chance to fix this as long as you use a 'cheap' obdii dongle (as mine). The problem is in part given by the bluetooth dongle (that use a static pin code) and in part from some limitation in Android 4.0.4 API (Level 15 API doesn't implement the setPin() method that should allow to input a pin programmatically). Some people fixed this using a something more expensive dongle (btw its also more reliable/secure and so on) .

So what can one do with this third usb port? Does it perchance make it any easier to install any apk files?

And is there an SD Card slot at the back anywhere? I've read elsewhere someone said there was.
[Security Discussion] Maxrunner:
You can do the factory reset? Interesting. I assume the apk is the "HondaAppCenter_A1.apk" one that's also in the site cmhonda.net?

Im a bit affraid of doing something wrong, still, by reading some comments it seems you cant install google apps fully?
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
ALL of the apks on cmhonda are HondaAppCenter_A1.apk. Seriously, read this thread and you'll understand why.

Since you can factory reset, you can't go far wrong. And no, not all apps will work but what does work works fairly well. Good enough for what most of us want anyway.

Failing that, the alternative would be to leave the HeadUnit well alone and attach a 7" Android Tablet over the HeadUnit and use that instead? :laugh: :cool: :rolleyes:

At least all apps will work properly.

I picked up a 2017 ridgeline (and read the entire thread) running android 4.2.2 the apk provided by S_Mike does not seem to work. Install from USB the apk is greyed out. Additionally there is no way of installing downloads from cmhonda.net.

I did not remember any settings in bluetooth that allows to change a password if there's one please be more specific.

If you are referring to the requester on the pairing this is the failing point... it doesn't ask for a pin but it just impose you set 0000 on the remote device (that has an embedded code that cannot be changed).

Settings (not Android settings), then BT / WiFi sttings - to change the code - and only then the pair. I have an old OBD with code 1234 and this process worked. If you can not change the code, then help "soft reset - 10 seconds hold the power button - does not erase any settings, only the sound is zero. The ignition key must be in position 2. Then, the same procedure from the beginning.... and? ...My torque works very well !!!

I too have sometimes trouble with sound. Sometimes there is only right speaker playing with the vanilla Audio/Radio. Maybe the hooks in Permission are set wrong... After starting/stopping Garmin Nav, everything is fine. I think this puts back everything in the right order somehow.

Only alternative is to use Waze for now, which is Google owned anyway. If you install and use Waze on your phone, you'll sync with both car and phone. It even syncs with your calendar appointments.

I have tried both Google Maps and Waze, both work good but I am now using Magic Earth instead. I installed the latest app and was even able to download the UK map directly to external (USB) storage for offline use without a hitch. All working great offline and/or online. Far, far easier to install, use and set up than Sygic too.

Since I have my own personal webspace, I have now created a similar web page to that cmhonda created but with just the apps I want to use/need, in case I ever have to factory reset and reinstall again, or in case my dealer ever reset it during a service. I have even uploaded the permissions in text form and everything so I only ever have to visit my own personal private little web space and reinstall in minutes wherever I am. :)

Guys, do all of you use Waze 3.9 as recommended everywhere, or is there someone except me that tries to use the much-better looking 4.3 (from cmHonda and/or newest)?

Basically 4.3 works great for me... until I click the "report" icon, or until some other UI overlay happens that makes the screen stop responding (even though the map often keeps updating). I was wondering whether there's any simple fix for that. I might want to try disabling hardware UI acceleration, if this option is available in the car system... Anybody already succeeded?
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
I haven't bothered trying. I use the latest because it's the nicest, hate the 3.9.9 version, it's SO last year.

I have no need of the reporting functions, never use them, don't intend to ever use them, don't agree with them, it's a damn dangerous feature.

Should be concentrating on driving, not messing about reporting cops/jams/roadworks and whatnot. :p

All I use it for is a SatNav, nothing more, nothing less.
[Security Discussion] ikari87:
Clicking "Favorites" for the list of navigation targets is one of the things that frozen the app for me ;) But usually if navigation starts, using it is a pleasure (on 4.x only, of course).
[Security Discussion] Legsmaniac:
Just tried this, works OK for me. I am able to add to and edit Favourites as well as click and select them, no problems.

The only thing that freezes for me is clicking the orange speech bubble in the circle on the bottom right. If there was a setting to turn off or hide that function, I would as I have no wish to use it anyway.

Or is there?
