2015 Honda Fit EX: HDMI Mirroring While Driving Safety Override

[@AliceNLi]

A note to who might be wondering- this works on the 2014 Honda Civic EX as well!!

[@DannyFliton]

It dosent

[@JAMinerViews]

One add: If needed, you can adjust aspect ratio and color. When you are in the HDMI source, hit "home", "settings", "audio".

[@JAMinerViews]

New Fit owner here.. Not sure if it's an update as of recent? But using Honda Link phone app (adding your VIN to link) and the Honda Link car menu option, allows it while driving, no hack needed. (HDMI cord still needed)

[@Bassguitarist1985]

What year? 2018+? The mid model refresh updated the head unit. Different firmware, different software

@@Bassguitarist1985 worked for a little bit.. but I'm back to doing it your way.. called Honda and they said it was discontinued in 2019.. not sure how I was able to do it in that case.. that being said.. what a great video this is..

This is awesome but i gotta ask why you still have the tag in your glove box

[@Bassguitarist1985]

Lol i never took it off

[@sysconic]

@@Bassguitarist1985 I was starting to think it may be the cool thing to do, like leaving the tag on a baseball bat. It's as easy as removing a sticker. You don't find it a little annoying/tacky to have a floppy tag sticking out?

[@sysconic]

@@Bassguitarist1985 you should also add a link in your description to the .bat file hack that you can install to permanently save that setting so you don't have to do this every time you start your vehicle

Will this work with mirrorlink too? I have a Note 4 & 2015 EX-L I was wondering if you know the steps to do the same thing, BUT THROUGH USB & NOT HDMI?

[@Bassguitarist1985]

Mirrorlink the app itself needs to be certified for car use otherwise it will not interface. Disabling the ddvsp error is for the HDMI input only. Though disabling that does effect other functions present on the automatic versus the manual transmission.

[@marcmcclain]

Not sure if it was a software update but it seems this doesn't work anymore. Once the car goes above 5 MPH, the screen shuts off again. Great for having the screen go back on at stop lights, but still can't have much use beyond that.

[@Bassguitarist1985]

you have a manual or automatic?

[@marcmcclain]

+xboxer1985 Automatic.

[@Bassguitarist1985]

Gotcha, yeah sounds like a software update. Dangit.

[@3rick512]

It still works on my car. Is it a software update from the dealer or a software update on the phone?

[@vligohahnchen4355]

Hi,I have a Honda Civic Type R 2018 there the HDMI does not work with the shutdown of DD VSP Error unfortunately. Is there still a solution? Does not this work with the new vehicles?

[@Bassguitarist1985]

unsure

[@philips3825]

So frickin awesome! Thank you!!

[@narunetto]

Do you know if this also works with the MirrorLink feature which is basically the same thing but through USB or if it's just HDMI?

[@Bassguitarist1985]

I'm familiar with mirrorlink. I beleive the application needs to be certified to mirrorlink with the HU. i havnt tried it personally.

[@rochulcr]

Hi, can I ask you a question? When you turn on the lights of the car, the radio has the effect of decreasing the brightness of the screen and the tactile buttons on the left sides (Home, Volume, Menu, Back)? Thank you, good day.

[@Bassguitarist1985]

Correct yes

[@rochulcr]

@@Bassguitarist1985 thanks do you know what cable or pin en this radio have a this function? I need the diagram but not found

[@Bassguitarist1985]

@@rochulcr id have to look. Its not on the audio connector. Why do you need to know? Whats wrong with yours?

[@rochulcr]

@@Bassguitarist1985 Well, I'm from San José Costa Rica, my Fit is 2016 EX but the version they sell here does not have a 7 inch radio touch, in exchange my radio is the 5 inch no touch equal to this, with A / C Touch: ( autoblog.com.ar/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/HONDAFIT6.jpg ) I have the project, I bought the US radio, Touch Version, same as your video, but I have several compatibility problems are: 1. The original reversing camera is not activated when setting "R" (My car is Automatic P, R, N, D, S) but inside the hidden options of the radio (power + home + Eject) the camera is active , even in the corrections of the lines it is activated and I see it. But it is not activated with "R". 2. The Clock is not saved, it is set, when you turn off the car, the time is paused. I turn on and the time is lost. 3. The dimmer when I turn on the light does not work. 4. My car does not have the connector where the baypass handbrake is made (just the one indicated here: btglobalsolutions.net/estore/image/cache/PRODUCTS%20IMAGES/HeadUnit(back)-800x800.png ) By that connector is the science of the baypass or handbrake detector cable. These are the problems that I have, and it has cost me to find solutions, so I need the diagram of the cables of all the radio connectors to understand how the US version is connected, Thank you very much, I apologize for the time it takes you to read and my bad english. greetings from Costa Rica.

[@EPICBLASIAN1]

2 more quick questions, if you are driving and use the right turn signal....WILL THE RIGHT CAMERA LANE CHANGE, come on? Or will it still show the mirror link to what you are watching? Any advice on what hdmi kit to buy for my Note 4 to connect to my car's hdmi? Thanks in advance!

[@Bassguitarist1985]

yes it will turn on the lane watch camera. i got my MHL adapter off amazon. i forget which one though

Any solution to jailbreak this head unit to install apps like gmaps or waze? I couldn’t find a way to do it on jazz.

[@Bassguitarist1985]

Nothing to my knowledge. Maybe see if fitfreak.net has posted a possible workaround?

[@JNguyen07Max]

Is this done through bluetooth only? Or an HDMI cable? What kind of cable? I have a Note 8 which uses a USB-Type C. How will this work? Thanks in advance Fitfam!

[@Bassguitarist1985]

Im using an MHL adapter with my Note 4. I think the Note 8 now supports MHL too. The link is below if you live in the USA. This adapter h as the USB Type C you need. The Note 4 is micro USB www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Adapter-Supporting-Charging/dp/B06XNS7W63

Finally I got another cable and everything is working fine but ( I have a Honda Fit Ex-L NAVI automatic ) and the "DD VSP ERROR" is not working. Soon as I drive on the road the HDMI is desactivate.

[@richards2072]

I tried this on the Honda HRV LX Canadian version 7 inch screen with the LG G4 running marshmallow and a Slimport adaptor (LG G4 doesn't support MHL. It worked fine but instead of expanding to use the entire screen, the mirrored screen isn't any larger than the screen on my phone. If I can't make it any larger than that I may as well just use the phone in a car mount. Wonder if anyone has found a solution to this.

[@rmsiaify]

does it work with other phones (other than samsung) connected with the MHL cable to the Honda's HDMI input?
