[@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

[@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

[@cheyamil]

I feel like this would void my warranty

[@soniatovar1884]

Right!?!

[@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

[@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...

[@jacamo777]

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

[@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

[@theamazoner4075]

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

[@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?

[@bobbykoller2003]

Can't you just go to honda hack on the units wifi and install the download without a laptop?

[@USNewsNow1]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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?

[@moshikoberko]

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

[@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?

[@havoccorner3715]

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

[@FernandoRubbo]

You should record a video to upgrade the OS to something newer. It is unbelievable that honda deploys Android 4.x in their cars

[@gracesonthomas1737]

Please show how to do in accord 2017. How to change host to the device?

[@michaelpridat7387]

Hallo, the last menue is not working, to switch from host to developer. Is there an other way?

[@thebigticket199ify]

I did download the file in the link below but my laptop will not recognize the file. Is there a program you used to access hondahack 2.0?

[@serhaterd90]

hi, i bought pro version for 2018 civic, but i can't use usb stick to write access to external memory. External memory is not visible in youtube and youtube music app. help please

[@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 !

[@abdulazizalfailakawi3125]

Hi i got a Honda Pilot 2017 that menu in About device i don't see any thing of it on my screen is there another setting for my screen?

[@FelixSchildmann]

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

[@filipalexandru3129]

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.

[@ReneFrancomusica]

Hi, I'm Rene. I try to download the program, but it does not leave me, it says it contains a virus. please help thank you very much for your help.

[@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

My screen it’s not working after att download Honda hack I tray to press bottom to rest it but it’s doesn’t work and I can’t do anything can you help me please

[@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.

[@joseguillermogordillolopez8678]

Sorry my english, what you do it to solve this problem, i dont try anything yet, but i like to know, can fix it

[@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.

[@timmyteng562]

It work great, but one problem that I have went I try to use android auto app it dosen't work anymore did you have that problem too?

[@juzchillz]

It happened to me. What's the solution to make it work again. Thanks in advance!

[@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...
