How to Connect Your Honda to Android Auto

[@Sheltieist]

Is the cable the only way to connect Android Auto? Can it be connected via bluetooth? I have a 2021 Honda Passport and my phone Galaxy S20.

[@camillerodriguez1204]

great vedio . I have a 2022 CRV do I need to use USB port after initially setting up my android phone.

[@Smailhondavillage]

Yes, The CR-V requires USB connection for Android Auto

[@tompeter2769]

Do we have to connect the phone using the USB cable always?

[@vpu2]

Yes

[@Donnamg100]

Someone in another yt said you only need the cable the first time

​@@sakibc1787 yep. Even I'm some of the models that day "wireless"

[@CM-br2of]

Do I always need to keep the cable conected while using the app, or is it needed just to do the initial conection?

[@Smailhondavillage]

For this model, the phone has to stay connected. There are some newer models that are capable of wireless Android Auto

[@tinker2217]

@@Smailhondavillage I need to find out which ones. I hate having my phone plugged in the entire time.

[@tinker2217]

@@Carolina4Sale to my knowledge, the EX and touring. The pricier models. But I saw a device that allows hands free apple car play on Amazon. I added to my cart, but didn't buy it yet. I'm getting Kia K5 anyway. These honda seats are soooo Uncomfortable 🥴

On google maps, how do I get voice directions so I don't have to always look at the screen?

[@budgunter8950]

Great instructions, Thanks for Sharing. I have a 2017 Honda Civic EX. Is their a Bluetooth Version from Android Auto yet? Or a way to go wireless using WiFi?

[@isaacabtan7959]

Can you use the power bank for Android auto? Or just the USB port

[@SoulPhoenix27]

When he said "media friendly" cable...is refering to usb 3.0? Because my original cable is now broken and cables that support fast charging are not working.

[@nathanielcaton8350]

Can it use android auto wirelessly or does it have to be via usb?

[@Smailhondavillage]

This particular model requires a USB!

[@thinriches]

by "particular model" they mean "only the accord has it" of course. Sad that Honda couldn't give us such a basic feature in 2021.

[@vpu2]

@@thinriches Right?? I miss my 2013 Accord. It took me months to figure how to use the HRV's features and idk why they wouldn't program the radio to display the song/artist name on the screen just like the Accord

[@muhamadariefrahmanhakim9166]

How can i connect android auto to my honda hrv 2017? Pls help..

[@ChanelBrooke1994]

Hopefully you can answer my question. But, can you just use it without the USB cord? I have tried without the USB cord and it did not work. My voice connection isn't even working as well...

[@basabroy3758]

Japanese cars are not communication friendly. Same with my car.

[@mickschnabel]

I'm sure I already know the answer, but will this work on older models, like a 2017 Honda HRV??

[@bidergilette5356]

I just bought a 2024 Honda HRV. I have connected my phone but it will not connect to Android Auto. I do have the app on my phone, but it gives me a Communication Error #21, and says to disconnect my VPN and try again. But I do not have a VPN connected. I’ve tried restarting my phone, but I get the same result. I am able to place and receive calls thru Bluetooth on my car, but it does not show texts. And I am not able to access my navigation or any other phone apps. Any suggestions please??

[@Donnamg100]

Does cellular data need to be turned on ?

[@Smailhondavillage]

Android Auto will still connect if cellular data is off but certain functions that require cell service will not work, for example, maps and radio streaming services like Pandora.

Did you figure it out?

I bought a brand new 19 civic and mine has NEVER worked.

[@camillerodriguez1204]

do u ou have to use the USB port always to connect to car screen. or once initially done can you not use USB port.

[@philmaurip]

Once the process terminated, do you need your cell phone plugged in the car to use the Android in your car ?

[@MrSvobodniy]

How to connect wirelessly?

[@Azrael123]

You would need these things: a compatible Android phone, the Android Auto Wireless app, and a vehicle that has Wi-Fi capability. The initial setup is still the same as the video using wires.

[@bozhanaivanova7818]

Awesome! Great video, thank you!

[@HonWong2012]

Once you've set it up, does your phone need to be connected for android auto to work or is it all blue tooth?

[@Smailhondavillage]

The phone will have to stay connected for most models! But some newer Honda models are capable of Wireless Android Auto such as the 2021 Accord.

[@AssasinSpike]

​@Smail Honda I have one that's advertised "wireless android auto" but I can't get it to work and see no solutions online. I was gonna take it to a Honda shop but some seem nome the wiser. Next stop might be a legal team. Only bough this car for that convenience given the fact I'm a delivery driver that needs the speed and convenience of not needing to always connect tand remove my phone when running around. Those weak ports give out

[@dmatthews7423]

@@AssasinSpike Oh man that sucks. Another problem for your situation is that constantly disconnecting and reconnecting a charging cable will kill your phone battery too.

[@AssasinSpike]

@@dmatthews7423 damn. Good to know. Hope nothing happens with my phone then. I don't want another Samsung bomb going off. I would sue tf outta Honda and Samsung if that happens

[@dmatthews7423]

@@AssasinSpike haha nah, she won't blow up. But as a cell phone battery cycles back and forth between use, recharge, use, recharge, it deteriorates. So it's better to let your phone get down to 10%-20% and then recharge it fully. I rarely actually use Android Auto; my trips are too short to justify plugging it in for a recharge cycle. (I'm also a penny-pinching accountant; so I micro-manage way too much!)

[@mrdeathclaw66]

let's say you have no reception on your phone, would you still be able to connect to the app and google maps on your car?

My 2018 Honda Jazz (1.5 Dynamic) has 4.0.4 android version system. Neither spotify, nor google maps, nor Android Auto nor any other external application is able to installed; and also I can not install them manual as well because the system does not permit.... There is a navigation called Garmin, and it is totaly nonusefull. What a pity... If I am not able to use the multimedia system, why is it in the car? Honda used to make more user-friendly and successful vehicles, but not anymore. I wonder why the following features are not available in a 2018 model vehicle: - Android ScreenMirror, Android Auto, Google Maps. - Opening and closing the windows from the remote. - Automatic opening-closing mirrors. - Rear view camera. - Tire pressure gauge. - Automatic locking of the doors when the vehicle reaches a certain speed. - Keyless entry and start. Not good for Honda.
