[@uguribis7564]

Hello everyone. I am writing from Turkey. I tried this and worked perfectly on my car civic 2018 executive. I really appreciate your post 👏

[@rzademirel5669]

Merhaba, sıkıntısız çalışıyor mu hala. Donma, kasma ya da geri vites sorunu var mı

[@wzepeda1]

It worked perfectly in Honda Civic EX 4Doors 2016. Hack made yesterday 11 June 2018 and now I can see videos while driving (You Tube, movies from USB) Download the APK directly in the Civic console. It does not present errors, Everything its OK. Thank you very much!

[@svancung]

Is there any error or delay lane camera when you watching video while driving?

[@the_batmobile0.4]

Who da fuck watch movies when driving

[@cheyamil]

I feel like this would void my warranty

[@soniatovar1884]

Right!?!

[@SocialablePsycho]

Hi Ryan. Great video and detailed explanation. Does this work with all 16-18 civics irrespective of country? I have a 2016 UK spec civic, but it doesn't have the brightness button to access one of the menus...

[@chai714]

Solid explanation, well produced and thank you.

[@galokar1]

short video, well explained and works well at least on my 2016 honda civic EXL..thanks

[@havoccorner3715]

This works great! I used it on my 1993 Ford pickup and now it thinks its optimus prime

[@101rigel]

Great tutorial bro. Quick question though, will this result in a much slower head unit? I'm planning on rooting it so I can install an OBD app which will wireless connect to the OBD port via bluetooth I think. Not sure if it's entirely possible but would this make it any slower? Thanks man

[@riverc4450]

I have a Honda Civic Si 2017. Do you have a video to show how to mirror your android phone to the head unit . I would like to see how it's done. Thank you.

[@mohammadghannam3574]

Hi Ryan thanks for the video man it's great I really appreciate it, I have a problem on my Honda Civic car seat 2017 the problem is that adaptive cruise control the ACC lights on the dash and I'm trying to reset this error or this code is there anyway can you tell me how to reset this code without going to the dealer please, thanks again

[@sergiovargasmansilla9182]

Hello please help me, I have a pilot 2017 but I couldn't get into the menu to change the usb role to device.. when I'm into the second secret menu, I hold the home button but not happens nothing and I couldn't change the usb role, please help me 🙏 Thanks

[@jacamo777]

I was able to get to everything except the last menu to change the role setting to host. I have 2017 Accord touring

[@theamazoner4075]

Can you make a video where you hack the stock navigation app and replace it with Google maps thanks

[@moshikoberko]

What about 2018? Is there a way to drive and in the background there will be video?

[@derrenalestairtorio524]

hi Ryan, I have civic 2018 1.5t, instrument panel for maintenance and turbo is missing from the cluster and head unit. any advice on how to put it back on both?

[@USNewsNow1]

Ryan, i have a 2018 Civic EX. How do I add Nav?

[@PraveenRamavath]

Android Jellybean 2012 version, I am not sure if its a good idea to root it in 2024, this is outdated and might have lot of vulnerabilities, besides I see no point doing this when it comes with HDMI port where you can connect firestick and do more than this !

[@medomomin9690]

i have accord 2016 how can i change "host" to "device" ? the method he used in the video works with me until i hold menu button to reveal the hidden menu but then when i hold "Home" it doesnt display the last menu... any ideas what to do ?

[@jesusislord8201]

Hey did u find how to do it?

[@GuiWhey]

Did you guys find how to do it?

[@rogerrodriguez2408]

my 2016 pilot touring doesnt have a build number or kermel number when i follow that step. do the pilots not have it or am i doing it wrong?

[@bobbykoller2003]

[@timmyteng562]

All you have to do is reboot your stereo and uninstall android auto and reinstall android and it should work, that's how I did mine...

[@FelixSchildmann]

Can I access the file system of the head unit in device mode? Like if I plug an USB stick into my laptop?

[@etcolonrva]

Will this work on CRV 2015 EXL? If not would you be able to point me in the right direction

Is there a way to still be able to use the Andorid Auto feature? should I put the USB Port back to Host mode? I ask because, the waze and maps are working terrible on this tablet. The HW is very bad. Thank you.

Hi Guys, I am from Brazil and I have the civic 2021. This steps worked but the last one don't worked. I can't find the last menu to change the usb to device. Can I help me?

[@RAV4G3]

Nice! My question is do you know how to update the firmware on it? Mine is currently on 4.2.2 also and it’s so dated. Please and thank you in advance.

[@ryanmundell3504]

I would avoid firmware updates since those normally pertain to your hardware unless their is a reason other than it being old you want to update

Do you need a windows computer or works on chrome book ?

[@facundopellegrini1812]

When running Honda Hack, when I press Root button, it remains in Rooting and never changes.

Hey Ryan. How do i log out from developer option ??

Any chance this can be done using a MAcBook?

I’m trying to remember when I did mine... I felt like it was 2 years ago but Honda hack did everything for me via a usb thumb drive. Is there anything new and exciting for the future 16-17 civic?

[@rjmiller2553]

After doing this hack, how many people ended up with slower and glitchy screens that seem to get worse after each update to Android auto, and other apps like Waze? Careful messing with your system. It might never work smoothly again.

Is it safe to root the head unit? I want to know it because all the Honda Sense and all the basic mechanical control of the car is associated with it directly? Thanks.

[@RyanStraub]

The head unit does not control Honda Sensing nor any mechanical features of the car, there is a separate ECU for those purpose s

No consigo entrar en la opcion de cambiar el host a dispositivo

[@LetsSmash007]

I am very interested to know if anyone reverse engineered that code for malware. I mean I’m sure there’s value in the Chinese government knowing if you didn’t change your oil. But then they could troll us by disabling the TPMS light. OR maybe not take advantage of having a C2C IoT device that literally travels around the world.

[@wildeyewill]

Purchased honda hack today...installed apps with no problem.. but using apps even only the maps is such a hassle.. it's too slow to be even used significantly

Worth doing it the hack?, What apps are worth installing?
