Hi, sorry for this post because for sure is written somewhere but I could not find the answer anywhere.

I am planning to downgrade my Honda Connect From RC8 to RC6 but I am a bit stupid with the files I guess and I have few doubts.

FIRTS, I can not find any file for the RC6 only files for RC8, anyone know where to find it?

SECOND How many files do I have to download for downgrade or update? Because in list say for sh (usb1) one file, Tegra EC/NC (usb2) another file and for Tegra (usb3) another different file:

-----That means I have to download the three of them and put each of them in a different usb? If this is the case, there is a specific order or I should connect all of of them at the same time or something like that?

-----Or means I have to download the three of them and put it in only one usb?

-----Or is only one of the files and I am reading bad the list?

THIRD, why there are two type of lists for the downgrade and only one for the update back to RC8, RHD and LHD? If my car is in the RHD how I update it if there is no list of these models?

FOUR, for the upgrade back to CR8, I have the same doubts as before but I guess the process is the same but avoiding reseting to factory settings, I am right?

I hope you can help me with this because I don't want to try just in case I break the unit...

Thank you!!!

Plik USB1 dla SH, Plik USB2 dla Tegra EC/NC, USB3 dla Tegra musi być kompatybilny z RC6 Update Matrix. Każdy plik na osobnym pendrive. Musisz sprawdzić jaki masz firmware na stacji i dopasować do niego pliki zgodnie z RC6 Update Matrix. Każdy plik przesyłasz osobno.

Hello
I was wondering if anyone can help
I recently bought a Honda enp1 full electric car (Chinese )
Equipped with Honda connect 3.0 sensing
The screen is 15.1 inch no physical buttons
It runs android but I’m not sure what version it is . The screen is split into 3 parts
1 lower ac and heating options
2nd middle is car settings and music
3rd upper Honda connect
Which needs 4g connection to be activated
Is there a way to tether the connection (cellular )through a phone using usbc
*since the car is made for China it doesn’t connect to any cellular network outside China

I finnaly find the way to sizable VSP error, but it is reset as soon a restart the headunit. Any solution to disable permanently VSP error?

Hi bro!

You need to set the permission settings right. In mikespermissions app. The VSP error configuration isn't the way to go. It resets as you say. If you do set the permissions you will see that your app keeps running while driving.

Set the permissions as a Navigation app settings as described on cm droid.

I downgraded my head unit on my CRV from rc8 to rc6. Then upgraded to rc8 again using the information that clarifies which update file I needed for my specific head unit (there is a code visible on the front of the head unit).

Make sure you have a working usb FAT32 if I remember it right. Then also don't put the reverse gear while updating the head unit, mine got stuck on reverse camera, gave me a scare. Make sure you don't interrupt the headunit while updating. It could brick your unit. And also, after updating to rc8, don't factory reset your headunit.

And lastly, you need to search this forum for the update files. Someone shared all the update files for honda connect headunit with all models update files and information for the specific headunit (the code in the front).

@Norton3 shared the information sheets that you need to identify the update files for your headunit Id. Check the id code.

Hope anyone who has done an update to a honda connect here can answer and help me lol. Just picked up a 2017 Civic (but it's before mid 2017 refresh model) with a 6VC1 head unit. Software version

I've spent the last 1~2 hours trying to confirm to the point of confidence what RC version this is and if I'm below RC8 how to update to it.

The matrix PDF seems to suggest I need

AUD31CF.bin
ADA_usbdl_VL0.FFF.04_EXT_HFT_param02
ADA_usbdl_V10096001123_sec_14ada

And then use 3 separate USB sticks, one for each file? I've seen a few people ask this question but struggled to see anyone definitively answer them if that is the case or all 3 on one USB stick will be OK.

Then my second bit of confusion is around depending on what RC version I have, do I need to say update to 6 first and then 8 if I'm below 6? Or can any version below 8 upgrade straight to 8?

Just don't want to brick my unit so any advice would be helpful.

Thank you

edit - After a cuppa and chilling out I've gathered the jump from step 9 to 22 is because I don't need AUD31CF.bin because I am already on 31.00.cf. I also noticed in the pictures included in the RC8.pdf file they are upgrading from 0C.091.01.1123. So my guess is I'm on RC6. Will just try popping the USB stick in tomorrow with the ADA files I listed above and see what pops up.

If you're on rc6 you should be able to install apps by naming them HondaAppCenter_A1.apk.

Theres more info on cmdroid.com.

You do not need 3 separate USB sticks... Just 1 will do.
But you do need to install one at the time, you should not put all the files at the same time in the USB stick. So step by step.

You always want to go to RC6 in order to install other apps, and once you set up everything in RC6 you can upgrade to RC8 to have the improvements on bluetooth etc (just make sure to not reset your system, else you loose the changes you did with RC6)

Thank you, that's the clearest answer I've found that gives me confidence. As per the guide pdf it's two files I need to use, so I'll update one at a time with each being on the stick one at a time.

I believe I'm on RC6, as per advice above I will now try and test that by installing a custom app. Unless anyone knows from my version info above if it's RC6.

Not sure you are in RC6... As per the images shared above by Norton3, I can find the Tegra build numbers you shared... so that would mean (if the images are correct) that youa re in RC5. Which would also mean (i believe) that the cmdroid instructions would work. Else you can always just go and install the RC6.

Yeah I think I was on whatever was 1 below RC6. I updated to RC6, then 6.1 and then 8.0. But then I went and downgraded back down to 6.1 with the TEGRA file only. This allowed app installations.

Am I correct to assume if I install Mike's permissions app and then go back up to 8.0 (without a factory reset) this will continue to allow app installations from the Honda App Center rename trick on 8.0?

I got Spotify working quite quickly by setting some permissions, shame I don't think there seems to be a way to use the steering wheel skip track functionality. It obviously works over bluetooth if I beam Spotify from my phone.

Yes install Mike's permissions app in RC6, and make sure that you put the correct settings on it.
Then update to RC8
Then you may need to reset the settings on Mike permissions or make sure that they are well configured.
But yeah it works that is how I have my system.

ANd noup, havent figured out to make the steering wheel skip track do something else... (I would love a Play/Pause option... for the moment can only do ON/off the system to pause bluetooth...)

Thanks, I'll make sure Mike's app is setup as others recommend and then go back to RC8.

I found with Spotify I had to use enable audio output, last mode but have auth type to "HONDA_ORIG" and the other setting on "Other". For whatever reason the most commonly used Spotify permissions that seem to use third party had the Spotify music stop playing when I went into another app, like Waze.

Speaking of Waze I seem to have it working fine with the commonly found NAVI settings. Not sure if I'll use it more than the built in Garmin but it's nice to have the option.

Ultimately, nice functionality to have but it seems ymmv on how compatible apps are and what you might lose (like spotify skip track versus just bluetoothing spotify audio from your phone). If you're travelling with someone though Spotify on the screen is nice versus a phone (unless they want to use their own phone).

I upgraded. No problems installing apps. Some people had problems and had to rename a file.

Just don't factory reset your system.

are there any new releases on the android auto version???

 

[dreamlanders4]

Hello Vespisti!
Are you sure this wiring diagram is expressly only for the Jazz GK3? I'd would like install a reverse camera too and I'm not sure if the camera adpt (+ 12Vcc) pin is 17 or 19 ??
Thanks a lot.

Yesterday in the night, i have read and looked again, to the pictures und the wiring diagram.
And find out, where i must pin the CANBUS (hope that is the right canbus-signal) und also the Video Signal + Power.

Hi,

the wiring diagram is for the FK2(R). Whether this is identical with the JAZZ I can not say.

But I have my Aftermark radio the rear camera also not yet get to run. For the power I have the camera pinned to J4 and J16, but I see no picture. For the video signal I have chinch from the radio pinned to J3 and J15.

I'm not sure myself and have to do it again. But if you have a solution in the meantime, I would be very grateful if you get in touch.

Greetings

Sorry.
Maybe, one day some guy may will help us.....don't worry
