Thanks so much for the video! I got a 2022 Honda Accord hybrid sport on Thursday. And after I followed the steps it worked like a charm! On 08/22/22

[@boonkigg5038]

I have the same car and it’s not working with me!!!☹️

[@RPadis]

Worked!! Honda Accord 2022 Hybrid Sport 6/15/23 Remember to format your thumb drive fat32

[@rjvjosephvaladez5248]

Tried this on a 2021 accord sport 1.5t and followed step by step. Everything worked perfectly and am able to watch youtube videos no problem. (While only in park mode) 🤫 June 13th 2022 Thank you for the great vid

[@kenblank7211]

You can allow it while moving. Enter the hidden menu again, click the bottom option, then hold down the "home" button for 5 seconds. it will open another menu. I think its the 2nd option, something like vehicle information. Find "DD VSP" and turn it off. Then all functions are unlocked while driving. It resets everytime you turn it off though, so youll have to do it again.

February 2024 and still works! Thank you!!

Worked for me! 2022 Honda Accord Sport 1.5T, 12/14/2023.

You can edit the apps you want shown on your main screen by simply holdin on app, it will allow you to add or remove apps.

[@user-fk6zr6ys4u]

How can we do that?

[@naif3734]

Good job

[@MODZR]

It worked thank you !! I may try Honda Hack and figure out if it will work on my Accord 10th Gen

[@MODZR]

Unfortunately it didn’t work the browser immediately crash when i try to root the system

[@HiddenDevils]

It works but super buggy on 2019 Honda Accord

[@MODZR]

@@HiddenDevils Im not prefer to try this on 10th Gen Accord ! I faced a problem after trying to install honda hack, After few days my screen is completely dead even the backlights behind buttons won’t work!!! I went to maintenance and they fixed the issue. So if you tried this i suggest to reset factory before this problem appears

[@fn7161]

Is this honda doesn’t have driver distraction mode features?

[@ComputerTeckMaster16]

The thing that I'm very confused about is that is it a completely new image that you're putting on the radio, similar to a Windows image that has everything installed already, because if I do this I don't want to lose any of the basic car features as I noticed when you first brought it up it was in chinese, I just want to make sure there's no downside to this??

[@edwardapollo]

Works on my 2022 head unit. Wireless seems to still be ok, my icon is still stuck in Chinese though, not sure why Thanks for this!

[@HiddenDevils]

This Works on my 2019 Honda Accord but it’s super buggy, CarPlay isn’t working well, I have to hold the Engine start so it can reset the radio, I never made a back up to my files so I can’t go back to factory, unless some one has a default factory file. (Waze, Lyft Driver, Spotify doesn’t work) If there’s an update to fix it please link to me.

[@byMihow]

This worked great. But mine didn’t switch from Japanese on the menu, and I can’t connect to CarPlay anymore. Any help would be great

[@anthonydowns9632]

Where is the file exactly on the Chinese website? If I can get that going and installed I'll be able to help you from there. Trying to do that ASAP so if you can get back to me as soon as possible that would be great thank you!

Can u make a video on how smooth the hdmi works like if I had hdmi adapter from my phone to connect to my phone and USB port to the car would it be able to play hulu and Netflix and excetra it would be pretty cool then I wouldn't need to use hot spot and it basically mirror my phone to the car ??please make a vidoe on this if I have time ND the stuff I would do it

[@empedance1933]

From the pics ive seen of the back of the headunits, I dont believe it has an hdmi port here in the US at least, although it might in the accords sold over in China or Japan.

Yeah that shouldnt be affected, although my current phone is an S22 ultra so ive only been using Android auto thus far. But generally speaking if one works the other will as well

[@empedance1933]

No, that's a 9th gen that uses an older style head unit. You can do the "hondahack" root method though! I reccomend giving that a Google and watching a few tutorials, it should give you wayyy more apps and customizations than any hack I know of for the 10th gen android head units

[@adam.sasorith]

Mine doesn’t allow me to import what do I do?

[@empedance1933]

I'd say try formatting the USB drive to fat32 if it isn't already, then copy the file over to it again and see if it works. Windows usually defaults formats to NTFS which is a Microsoft filesystem. Android can read it but permissions can have issues with it.

[@addash5688]

I got no sound coming out of the video ????

Still works on my end, but I also don't start speaking until about 15 seconds in to give folks time to read the disclaimer about how I don't condone the use of this feature while driving

Ah sorry man that sucks, all I can really suggest is doing a factory reset on the head unit to bring it back to stock. Were there any new updates pushed out to your car recently? I wonder if they changed something that fiddles with this mod
