Does the "Honda Hack" do motion lockout bypass for US Civics so that Android Auto / CarPlay / GPS keyboard works while in motion?

I don't care about video playback while in motion, but music playlists are limited to a only few songs while in motion which is very annoying. Also allowing the passenger to update the route for GPS without having to pull off a freeway to stop would be useful.

There is a hardware Naviks device that apparently works for motion lockout bypass but it costs $175 USD, since it has to do more than just grounding the parking brake wire.

See 'CarPlay limitedUIElements' and 'Android Auto Drive Level(drive)' below:

Anyone have a solution to the reboot loop?

Both running nefarious.sh as well as manually typing the commands causes a reboot loop after the remount command.

I've been trying to connect my head unit to my machine, but it's not recognizing the headunit.

On mac, it doesn't detect anything plugged into the USB ports. On windows, it gives me a device descriptor request failed. I have tried installing drivers (android SDK, google USB, NDK) on both OSs to no avail.

Any suggestions? Does USB cable matter?
[Android General] iLLNiSS:
Bad descriptors sounds like a bad cable.
[Android General] badabing2003:
Perhaps installing WhitelistApService.apk had something to do with it, if this doesn't help the only other suggestion is to keep on re-trying, maybe it's a timing issue as it has been suggested by others, I didn't anything else that would have contributed it.

---------- Post added at 08:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 AM ----------

Yep, sounds like a bad cable, also note that some USB cables are power only (no data) make sure you use one with data.
[Android General] iLLNiSS:
I tried the whitelist thing and same deal. It must be something else, or just timing. I'll play around a bit more and see if I can't get it done by doing it over and over.
[Android General] iLLNiSS:
Well this sucks! I've tried about 20 times now to no avail. I don't think its a luck of the draw or timing issue, there has to be something else causing the boot loop during remount.

I did set the adb over tcp/ip and while that makes things easier, it also didn't help.

The boot loop during remount solution is still out there :o
[Android General] rosenkrantz:
Hi

Once again big big thank you to all for the great work here...

Did anyone find out how to get rid of that nagging warning screen on startup???
[Android General] badabing2003:
Yep, it sucks.

If it is any consolation, I tried way over 20 times, so keep on trying and don't give up.

Indeed, adb over tcp/ip helps make it easier.

I also copied su to /data/local/tmp to make things easier.

cp /data/local/tmp/rootme/su to /data/local/tmp
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/su

Then for each try I would do

adb shell '/data/local/tmp/dcow /data/local/tmp/run-as /system/bin/run-as'

/data/local/tmp/su
mount -o rw,remount,rw /system

Good luck.
[Android General] iLLNiSS:
You were able to do it but it took you that many tries?

Do you recall any other potential differences? Perhaps you were running a particular app, in a certain menu, etc?
[Android General] badabing2003:
Yep exactly

Unfortunately I don't remember if there was a particular app / environment ...

That is why I thought it was a mount syntax issue, and I didn't even think of WhitelistApService.apk at first.

I did it from tcpip as well, so nothing on HU directly.

Although run-as gives you root privileges, I was in su before executing the mount command.

I had tried both ways, but got eventual success with su

After run-as the id command would show this

uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=1003(graphics),1004(input),1007(log),1009(mount),1011(adb),1015(sdcard_rw),1028(sdcard_r),3001(net_bt_admin),3002(net_bt),3003(inet),3006(net_bw_stats)

but after su it would show this

uid=0(root) gid=0(root)

The fact that the groups are not listed would suggest that there are some context differences, or at least I thought.

2017 CRV

This question has been asked several times and has been ignored. Has anyone has been able to do this in the 2017 CRV? This screens are different so the developers screen isn't accessed the same as the civic. You can access the developers screen (brightness, phone and power button at same time) but a lot of details are not programmable and I can't figure out to add apk's. I only assume that the savvy apk developers and programmers are more aimed to purchase the Civic's and not the Dad and Mom vehicles like the CRV so there is minimal info on the display audio for the CRV. Will anyone take a few moments and answer the question? Can the CRV's HU be rooted and how?

Thanks!
[Android General] badabing2003:
Yes, I can confirm that following this thread I was able to perform it on 2017 CRV Canadian model, I'm not sure if everything is the same on US or EU models.
[MENTION=495426]codeage[/MENTION] has done amazing job of documenting and including the links, and following his steps works.

The only two issues that I'm aware of are.

1- Changing the USB mode, the OP's linked details shows for other Hondas, for CRV you need to replace the menu with power to get into debug screen, but you've already figured that out, so it should not be an issue for you.

2- Using the scripts (nefarious.sh) or doing the steps manually, mounting system RW causes a reboot for many of us (not all) and this is not necessarily limited to CRV.

How to get around this issue is not clear yet, there are some suggestions and approaches discussed in this thread that worked for some but not for others.

I eventually got it to work for me, perhaps I got lucky or perhaps as suggested by some it is a matter of timing issue.

You can install APKs without necessarily mounting system rw,

So on which steps are you tripping? what is the expected result on that step and what result are you getting?

The steps in OP are clear enough, but it requires some basic understanding.

So help us help you.

Start from the beginning and document your steps, capture the expected and actual results and post back.

hello, I recently installed honda hack in my 2019 civic, and I mapped the 'UP' arrow key on the steering wheel to trigger to display the back camera at any time. After doing this, I noticed that when I put the car into reverse, the camera automatically goes to the default view angle which is the middle one. I like to have it set to come on with the wide angle view every time, but ever since i mapped the up arrow key using honda hack, I've been experiencing this bug where it would reset the default camera view angle that is shown on the infotainment screen. Could you please help me fix this bug?

I have noticed the same, and also prefer the wide angle view.

But the developer codeage doesn't participate here anymore. Either email him directly and he will respond or post on his twitter feed.

About to apply Honda hack to my 2017 crv lx, here's my issue, and wondering if using Honda hack along with possibly tasked if I could resolve my issue and enjoy all the other benefits of this hack...... My 2017 crv infotainment will not dim down and I'm having an impossible time dealing with the dealership getting the update USB which I know is out there that fixes this exact issue!!! So here are my thoughts, and don't know if anyone has been in this situation or if this will even work......was thinking of doing the Honda hack, put tasker on the infotainment, and possibly set time schedules for it to dim the display, not sure if it will even dim it or not, or it really does need the updated firmware, which seems to be an impossible feat with honda

**Edit: I went ahead and installed the Honda hack, loving it so far!! Great work!! Installed taser, ran a display brightness profile, and no dice, in case anyone else was in hope of finding a fix for the brightness issue without the near impossible to get update from honda

[Android General] civic9:
Hi,

I have civic X (2020, eu). I was using Power + Brightness + Phone combination before to enter hidden menu (I didn't change anything, I was just checking if it works). But now it is not working. This combination in completly ignored. And other things have changed too - looks like system is starting in different configuration (e.g. I have now hondalink icon and not honda app center, garmin navigation is not starting). I didn't install any updates. I tried resetting with fuse and factory reset. Without Power + Brightness + Phone combination I can't enable browser, nor connect via abd (I can't change usb role to device). Do you have any ideas what has happened and what can I do now?

This can be done through the Diagnostics Menu; on my vehicle (Clarity 2018 PHEV) it's invoked by holding down Power + Home + Brightness keys for a few seconds. Be warned though, it isn't intended for end-user so the UX is not that great, and you'd want to take a backup (also found somewhere within Diagnostics), as it may randomly get reset to default.

Note that there's a hidden page; I can't remember off the top of my head where your specific requested menu would be located, it may be in the first set of configurations that loads. Just in case (you'll want to look for Display Settings or similar, either way): select the bottom menu choice on the first screen, then hold down the Home key until it does a double beep, then hold down the Menu key until a different set of settings appear on-screen.
