Another fun tip! When your on that screen with the orange, if you press and hold the home button for another 5-10 seconds it will bring up yet another screen with even MORE options to customize stuff. Fun fact. Thought you should know.
There’s another screen to get into after you hold those three buttons, so after that press and hold the home button and it gets you into another screen to mess around with. I did the audio settings and turned off the pf setting to make music sound much better, you can always put it back on if you don’t like it but just thought I’d share that info with you.
maybe i'm weird but I always read my owners manual as well as the factory service manual....thats how I found the HVAC self diagnosis function in my CRV.
Expected you to click the camera adjustment. You can do the similar thing on the older civic with the I mid display and go through the settings to activate your rear camera while driving. Really useful if you have tinted windows and drive a manual
Awesome thx my screen has been messing up a lot on my second one know I can check it out better myself instead of trying to get pictures of it when it resets while I’m driving all the time.
I know you could use an see the backup camera on screen while driving..but u cant play the radio while its in that mode..press return button to go back to home screen for regular use or shut off car and when turned back on it also goes back to regular use.. ✊😎
Extra hidden menu ... when inside the "Detail & Information System" menu, hold Home button for 6-8 seconds (or until beeps) and opens another layer of hidden menus.
H. Accord Generation 13-17 have similar menu. More interesting options like DSP, ANC and operation restriction settings are displayed if you long press "Self Diagnosis Mode" menu
That’s nice to know but I really wouldn’t want to inadvertently disable an important setting which would require me to have to got to the dealership to have system resynchronized.
Wish there was a hidden satellite radio feature in there somewhere. Cant believe the 1.5 sport doesn't come standard. Same infotainment system. Figured out the hidden remote start just by upgrading the key fob.
Have to go to the dealership and buy the one with the remote start feature for the higher models, or buy online. Then get the dealership to program for your car, or I guess a locksmith could maybe do it. The feature is built into the car, but they dont want you to know it. I guess to buy a higher end model, stupid but it works.
I just purchased key fob from hondapartsguys.com 58.63 + 8.91 shipping. Got it in 4 days. Part number 72147-TV-A01. I did not give them my vin #. Getting it programmed next week.
u can get the keyfob cheaper from oem dealers online. and look for any locksmith in your area to program it for u for a decent price. don’t go to the dealership, they quoted me more than $300 for the key and programming.
I was reading something about the Civic, and it looks like Honda is still sticking to the same design when they redesigned it in 2016 with minor changes. My friend was going to get it, but he wanted a full refresh. I'm guessing people like that design so Honda doesn't want to fully refresh it. For the 2020 Civic Hatchback its pretty much the same design, they haven't come out with the Sedans yet. I just though of sharing that.
I’m not positive on that. I know it’s loud. I would think there might be a fuse. Check under the fuse box and see if any are labeled as chime. Could be one there.
Great video thanks. Share more secrets! I have a 2018 Sport 2.0. Anyways, does anybody know if there is a way to turn on the Navigation? Not through the phone. Also the TPS sytem? The Sport will only tell you that your air pressure is low. There is no display showing the tire pressure of each tire. It sucks, you have to check all the tires pressure with a tie gauge. Come on Honda! Thanks in advance.
Thanks man. I agree it would be nice to know the pressures. I Think the higher trims have it. But to make it work you would need a sensor in each wheel that relays the info. I believe the lower trims don’t have those.
Mario Moreno I believe that Honda only uses a passive system now for tire pressure detection. It monitors the wheel speeds for any deviation overtime - cheaper and less complicated than the older systems.
Mario if you rotate the tires the low tire pressure can also come on. I did a tire rotation and the low tire pressure came on, I check all 4 tires everything okay. So what you do is go to calibrate TPMS and that fixes that issue.
Only the Touring and Ex-L models come with Navigation for 2018-2019 models. If you have a sport or any other trim, navigation only through android/apple car play or if you have Honda install navigation at an extra cost.
I have a 2020 Honda Accord EX and I was mystified that with all the fancy stuff in the media center there, there's no GPS/map/navigation feature. Where is it?
Do you know what the church bell chime means? There is also another chime that sounds like the chime on an airplane when right before they illuminate the fasten seatbelt light.
It’s so random I don’t know when I should video it. I saw a thread that everyone was talking about it and the last person went to the stealership and says it was because of loose battery cables. I’m going to the stealership tomorrow morning I will ask them what it could be.
There’s a lot more on the screen to adjust than that.I’d hold down the menu button again u can take away driver distraction setting and play UA-cam and Netflix while driving. I did that to my Ridgeline
HI Jon: I am a senior and don't want to sit all day at the dealers if I can fix it myself. My screen froze! I did as you told us to do but no deal. Any other tips that may help me fix it myself? Thank you in advance for any help
Thanks. I’m sure there’s a way but I don’t know what all the codes are. And if you go into that screen with the engine running it has another slew of options. You would have to know what all these codes mean and I’m sure you could do it somehow.
@@HondaJon It would be a nice capability. There are times when I am trying to get in close to something and the extra viewpoint would be a big help. Like the backup camera, but for the front. [FWIW, I also am going to look into tapping the video from the front and rear cameras - see if I can hook it to a recorder (looped), rather than having to install an additional dashcam.]
@@HondaJon Hi - I totaled my 2018 Touring 2.0 about 5 months ago (I have front & rear view cameras showing the event- kinda scary) replaced it with a Benz GLC 300 - thanks for all your vids on the Accord All air bags deployed - lane keep assist did not work - maybe I was going too fast :)
I just purchased a 2021 Honda Accord sport special edition... Unfortunately I don't see Sirius XM radio on audio, source, or my home screen... Is there a way to install it without additional components?? Thanks so much!
Congratulations. There is a way to install it. Most electronic stores will Install one for you. It would require wiring the antenna. Are you sure it doesn’t have it?
@@HondaJon I think the touring model has it factory and maybe the hybrid, but my sport definitely doesn't... Maybe I'll call the dealership tomorrow and I'll let you know what they say! Was hoping I could go into developer settings, or install from USB but maybe it's not that simple :(
I bought a 2020 accord hybrid to be a Lyft driver and I had a passenger tell me you can instal apps like lyft onto the car. He showed me where to navigate in the menus but not enough to actually do it. Any idea how to install apps onto the accord, like lyft? I’ve seen people instal games and video apps too. Being able to watch Netflix on the hud would be cool.
Great video! Unfortunately some say that enabling developer mode may cause problems, didn’t have any for months then recently got a blank screen. Everything works, touch screen seems functional since it has sound feedback. Carplay connects too. It’s just that the screen is blank. Any tips? What’s the fuse for the radio btw?
Check if in developer options, keeping the screen on while charging (when vehicle is on) is selected. My screen would turn off after a minute and found the solution
I have a 2019 Rl-T ridge line but hate the sound system would like to replace it with a 2020 accord 10”touchscreen one will it plug-in and operate all my steering wheel controls and is it available to buy the touchscreen and the head unit so that I can replace it!
Hi JON i have 2020 accord hybrid base model ( NO applle carplay ) can i hookup or buy anything to make screen have video like apple car play . thank you
Holy goodness, that means if turn this in dealership or private, like a cell phone, will it keep track messages and phone numbers and stores in the car memory?
Hey jon slightly off topic but does your apple CarPlay work? Mine always cuts off or ends up not working at all. Called Honda techs and they told me to bring it in for service
First thing is are you using an original Apple cable? Then are you running the last way software? If you are I would try rebooting the display. I have a video on it and then reboot the phone and try again.
I want to be able to root the Android OS in the infotainment system. That way I could install whatever .apk files I want. I know that is possible with the Civic and CR-V but near as I can find, not the Accord.
Hey Jon, Sorry for asking you so many questions lol. But do you know if the 2018/2019 Accords have the same interior dimensions? I'm shopping for floor mats and I was going to buy some 2018 floor mats for my 2019.
@@HondaJon sweet! Thank you, haha I've been ordering stuff left and right. You should get a promo code for the items you bought in your videos I bet you'd make a lot of comission lol
@@HondaJon When I get my build more complete I'd be happy to donate some parts to you lol. When you press your brake does it make a weird noise when in park? I can hear the brake when I'm parked and feel it in the shifter. It will actually move the shifter if I press and release the brake in park. Or am I crazy and this is normal lol
Lol. You mean you feel a little pulse sort of? That’s normal. It’s the mechanism that makes it so you have to push the brake before shifting out of park. Even my older accords did it. 👍🏻
Sooooo does this screen only come up when those buttons are pushed or does it create a shortcut on the apps screen? Kinda curious how Honda would know you accessed it if you change settings back before putting into the shop? I know they immediately void warranty if you just turn on developer settings. Tempted to anyway since Honda wants to claim all the shit wrong with my 2.0T EX-L isn't covered by the warranty anyway. 🤷
I'm sure that any setting you change it will be logged in the computer. Just going to this menu without actually changing anything shouldn't void any warranties.
Is there a way to install Android APKs with this exact head unit? Or at the very least, use Android Auto wirelessly? I have a Honda Insight 2019 that has this exact head unit.
The 2020 lx dont have this option. The head unit is very limited to what you can do with it. Only useful option I found and used is the bluetooth, cause the radio SUCKS.... and everything basically has to be done over your phone. 🤦♂️
How can i do that because my car has a diferent screen than yours and i have a 2018 accord! My screen doesn’t have home buttom and source buttom only in the steering
It would be not only the handles but the wire harnesses and computer that controls the locking functions so when you walk away it knows how far you are. It would cost about $2500 for it when the ex can be bought for less than that from a sport
There are settings on the vehicle that can’t be changed unless the Parking brake is engaged. The same thing happens with Apps like Google Maps, that won’t let you type in an Address unless the parking brake is engaged. There’s gotta be a way to bypass this setting.
3:21 so if it is picking up gps satilittes why cant our head units do navigation?? Since I bought mine new they have told me our cards dont have gps but clearly in this screen it is showing it does.
The tech and specs are already built in the head units. All the head units on all trims are the same. Honda just blocks it. Just like how they block the remote start on the LX and sports 1.5 but you can bypass it by modifying an ex trim or higher key. I'm sure there us a community online that has a bunch of coders and hackers who mess around with the head unit to get more out of it, seeing its android base. I have done some things as well myself. Issue is honda will not fix anything you break and it isn't covered under the warranty so if you brick your head unit, you're screwed. I doubt Honda would reinstall the os on it, not free at least.
That I’m not sure. You would have to know what all the codes mean. There could be a way but I personally don’t know. Hopefully someone knows a way to uncover some useful things 👍🏻
Honda Jon That would be sweet if indeed we would be able to have access to that. So far only the touring models have an available turbo meter but only when switched to the sport setting.
How can i make it to when i have the window lock on i (the driver) can continue to control all the windows without having to unlock them? Its very annoying when my kids get in and mess with the windows, plus the front passenger having control with the lock on also would be nice
That would be nice. I feel the same. That would require splicing wires and honestly not worth the chance of messing something up. They are on a circuit so you would have to make the drivers independent.
@@HondaJon Yea it was more of a comment pointing out my frustration with it, every other automaker makes it to where the driver still controls all the windows. Its funny how when you go through the settings there is actually a window selection but nothing to change when you select it 🤷♂️
Oh that sux beyond words and anyone i mention it to says you must be nuts and just missing something it cant be. Like who woulda thunk of a car that let you know in exact # how fast you were traveling ? Wouldn't insurance companies prefer you were aware of your exact speed as well ?
With this little trick display option, I see unit check as a second option there. Can you tell us what’s there and see if that would change the digital speedometer from kph to mph if possible?
Nates Cinema how’s your car digital speedometer is in mph while no one else is? What year accord you have and what version software you have in your car. You can find the software version by doing this video trick that it shows
Please answer this question. I’ve been trying to figure it out for a year already. Is there anyway to access the rear view camera while driving??? 2018 or newer???
I wonder if there is a way to change the digital speedometer from KMH to MPH through these settings. I know that other countries that have KMH as the standard unit of speed have the digital MPH on their 2018 honda accords.
2019 Honda Accord LX models unfortunately don’t have this option. But there is a way to get into the diagnostic menu - press the power button, and numbers 1 & 6. It takes you to a similar menu to the one in this video, the only problem im having is that when you change a setting in this mode it will automatically default back next time you turn the car on. None of the settings save that you switch in diagnostic mode. Anyone having any similar issues?
@@HondaJon From the dashboard display. It was right under the D(drive) and temperature but now trip mileage is there. I just want the total miles of the car back
Hey! What's the best way to keep up on the maintenance schedule? I see the manual does not have a schedule. Is it because it's all saved electronically in the vehicle system? Any recommendations?! I wanted to try to maintain the recommended manufacturer schedule. Thanks.
Yeah I would definitely go off the maintenance minder. It monitors all the wear and tear and will let you know what needs to be done based on driving characteristics. It’s what honda goes off of. Hope that helps.
Sheikh Swervooo Have you ever figured anything out? I have the 2020 Accord sport. I’ve been tirelessly searching for any kind of hack to mirror my phone without jail breaking etc
Thanks man. I appreciate that. It’s easy. Just get the black vinyl overlays. It takes time but once you get the hang of it it’s easy. Check out my original video on it ua-cam.com/video/f0KawQ-AX7Q/v-deo.html
Yeah definitely changes the look instantly. I’ve yet to see plasti dip look all even and same finish. The glass black vinyl looks amazing. The main thing is to really clean the wheel before you start. Definitely use like a Windex or something like that to strip any wax or oil an allowed to dry completely. For the price you can’t beat it
Maybe. I would like that. I am happy though the Accord still has an actual speedo and not just the numerical ones. I still prefer the needle setup over what the civics and pilots now use.
I don’t. I want to get one myself but don’t want to break the bank. It’s a good idea to have one nowadays. Let me know if you find a nice one. I’ll do the same.
I would lean towards something like a rear view mirror dual dash camera. They often do loop recording, and record audio. Pick one that has dual cameras that you can rotate yourself. Often this setup will let you monitor what's ahead of you and your cabin/ a little bit behind you.
Another fun tip! When your on that screen with the orange, if you press and hold the home button for another 5-10 seconds it will bring up yet another screen with even MORE options to customize stuff. Fun fact. Thought you should know.

@@HondaJon sweet! Thank you, haha I've been ordering stuff left and right. You should get a promo code for the items you bought in your videos I bet you'd make a lot of comission lol
Lol. Yeah. The nice part if almost everything is donated to me. So it’s nice so I can do the videos. 👍🏻
@@HondaJon When I get my build more complete I'd be happy to donate some parts to you lol.
When you press your brake does it make a weird noise when in park? I can hear the brake when I'm parked and feel it in the shifter. It will actually move the shifter if I press and release the brake in park. Or am I crazy and this is normal lol
Lol. You mean you feel a little pulse sort of? That’s normal. It’s the mechanism that makes it so you have to push the brake before shifting out of park. Even my older accords did it. 👍🏻
Sooooo does this screen only come up when those buttons are pushed or does it create a shortcut on the apps screen? Kinda curious how Honda would know you accessed it if you change settings back before putting into the shop?
I know they immediately void warranty if you just turn on developer settings. Tempted to anyway since Honda wants to claim all the shit wrong with my 2.0T EX-L isn't covered by the warranty anyway. 🤷
I'm sure that any setting you change it will be logged in the computer. Just going to this menu without actually changing anything shouldn't void any warranties.
I'm not finding the operational restrictions removal
Is there a way to install Android APKs with this exact head unit? Or at the very least, use Android Auto wirelessly?
I have a Honda Insight 2019 that has this exact head unit.
That’s I’m not sure. I believe android auto can connect wirelessly if I’m not mistaken.
hey jon can you find out if we can put a screen from sport trim to on a lx and will carplay everything gonna work?
I’m sure you could but the cost wouldn’t make it worth it. With the wiring and unit alone it would be cheaper to get the higher trim.
Linkswell makes a radio for these Honda accords
The 2020 lx dont have this option. The head unit is very limited to what you can do with it. Only useful option I found and used is the bluetooth, cause the radio SUCKS.... and everything basically has to be done over your phone. 🤦♂️
which year and trim is this car
2020 accord sport 2.0
How can i do that because my car has a diferent screen than yours and i have a 2018 accord! My screen doesn’t have home buttom and source buttom only in the steering
can the alarm to a honda accorrd 2019 sport be upgraded with the walk away and lock fiture
If you don’t have an ex model, you would need a lot of parts that it wouldn’t be cost effective.
@@HondaJon ok like what parts name them ..
It would be not only the handles but the wire harnesses and computer that controls the locking functions so when you walk away it knows how far you are. It would cost about $2500 for it when the ex can be bought for less than that from a sport
@@HondaJon OK I HAVE A HONDA SPORT 1.5T SO IM TOLD EX.
The 1.5 sport is based of the lx. The 2.0 sport is based of the ex.
Is there a way to make changes to the vehicle settings without having to engage the parking brake
What kind of changes are you looking for?
There are settings on the vehicle that can’t be changed unless the Parking brake is engaged. The same thing happens with Apps like Google Maps, that won’t let you type in an Address unless the parking brake is engaged. There’s gotta be a way to bypass this setting.
3:21 so if it is picking up gps satilittes why cant our head units do navigation?? Since I bought mine new they have told me our cards dont have gps but clearly in this screen it is showing it does.
I’m sure it can but Honda is the one that allows what it can do.
The tech and specs are already built in the head units. All the head units on all trims are the same. Honda just blocks it. Just like how they block the remote start on the LX and sports 1.5 but you can bypass it by modifying an ex trim or higher key. I'm sure there us a community online that has a bunch of coders and hackers who mess around with the head unit to get more out of it, seeing its android base. I have done some things as well myself. Issue is honda will not fix anything you break and it isn't covered under the warranty so if you brick your head unit, you're screwed. I doubt Honda would reinstall the os on it, not free at least.
@@abpanda1596 I'm down my warranty is up soon anyways. Worst case scenario I buy that aftermarket 12 inch head unit
@@NerdyMeathead is there a link to an after market 12" unit ???
Android Auto or Apple Carplay will fix that for you. I'd love it to be built in though. My wifes 2012 Lincoln has on board Navigation FFS.
@ Honda Jon Is there a way to display the turbo meter? I have a 2018 Honda Accord sport 2.0 T 6 speed
That I’m not sure. You would have to know what all the codes mean. There could be a way but I personally don’t know. Hopefully someone knows a way to uncover some useful things 👍🏻
Honda Jon That would be sweet if indeed we would be able to have access to that. So far only the touring models have an available turbo meter but only when switched to the sport setting.
I have it as well. The manual transmission don’t get it. I wish I could have it on without being in sport mode. Maybe there’s a way🤔
You would have to get a Ktuner or Hondata to display that.
Purchase the OBDlink MX+ on amazon. It uses an app on your phone to display a digital or analog gauge.
Any hidden menus on 2020 honda passport
I’m sure there is but not sure of the sequence. Have you tried these steps?
I just want the radio to let me choose what and when to play when starting car. Just turning off auto play will thrill me.
I know that feeling
I played in setting and showing ( LanWatch aiming is not completed ) HELP ME PLEASE
It should reset if you turn of the car. If not disconnect the battery. It should default back
Nice. Thank you
Does anyone know how to put odometer on meter its just showing trip b
If you keep cycling through it will pop up. It is confusing because there are a lot of different options that you can see
My 2020 accord doesn’t have a home button 😢
Hey.. what wheels did you get or are those aftermarket?
Hi. Those are the stock sport wheels with the blackout kit installed on them. Really changes the look
Honda Jon Indeed. I may have to do that. Was it a send out or a swap. Any information on the process?
How can i make it to when i have the window lock on i (the driver) can continue to control all the windows without having to unlock them? Its very annoying when my kids get in and mess with the windows, plus the front passenger having control with the lock on also would be nice
That would be nice. I feel the same. That would require splicing wires and honestly not worth the chance of messing something up. They are on a circuit so you would have to make the drivers independent.
@@HondaJon Yea it was more of a comment pointing out my frustration with it, every other automaker makes it to where the driver still controls all the windows. Its funny how when you go through the settings there is actually a window selection but nothing to change when you select it 🤷♂️
Totally agree. I’m sure it’s cheaper this way.
Do you know how we access the browser? I see there is one installed but I can’t figure out how to open it ;)
Not positive if you can. You have to be in developer mode
Good to know thanks 👍
is there a function to make the digital speedometer read mph rather than kph ?
Unfortunately there isn’t. I wish there was. Not sure why they would make it in kilometers.
Oh that sux beyond words and anyone i mention it to says you must be nuts and just missing something it cant be. Like who woulda thunk of a car that let you know in exact # how fast you were traveling ? Wouldn't insurance companies prefer you were aware of your exact speed as well ?
With this little trick display option, I see unit check as a second option there. Can you tell us what’s there and see if that would change the digital speedometer from kph to mph if possible?
Mines in mph 👀
Nates Cinema how’s your car digital speedometer is in mph while no one else is? What year accord you have and what version software you have in your car. You can find the software version by doing this video trick that it shows
What if you don’t have a home button?
There is a way to do it but forgot what the exact procedure is.
Pretty neat
I will try it
Please answer this question. I’ve been trying to figure it out for a year already. Is there anyway to access the rear view camera while driving??? 2018 or newer???
yes
Hey I am replaced the screen f8ex to touring will you think work
Hey did u ever do this if so was it.plug and play
I wonder if there is a way to change the digital speedometer from KMH to MPH through these settings. I know that other countries that have KMH as the standard unit of speed have the digital MPH on their 2018 honda accords.
Interesting. I would
Love that. You would have to know how it’s labeled. I would hate to mess something up.
you can do that on the tachometer screen by holding the button selector on your steering wheel
2019 Honda Accord LX models unfortunately don’t have this option. But there is a way to get into the diagnostic menu - press the power button, and numbers 1 & 6. It takes you to a similar menu to the one in this video, the only problem im having is that when you change a setting in this mode it will automatically default back next time you turn the car on. None of the settings save that you switch in diagnostic mode. Anyone having any similar issues?
Hey Jon how do I get the total mileage back ? It disappeared
Where did it disappear from?
@@HondaJon From the dashboard display. It was right under the D(drive) and temperature but now trip mileage is there. I just want the total miles of the car back
Just cycle through the options from the steering wheel. It should be on the left side. You can cycle though trip a and trip b and then odometer.
@@HondaJon ok I'll try it. Thanks
Left of the steering wheel there is a button for trip meter. It goes to trip A,B and then mileage .
Hey! What's the best way to keep up on the maintenance schedule? I see the manual does not have a schedule. Is it because it's all saved electronically in the vehicle system? Any recommendations?! I wanted to try to maintain the recommended manufacturer schedule. Thanks.
Yeah I would definitely go off the maintenance minder. It monitors all the wear and tear and will let you know what needs to be done based on driving characteristics. It’s what honda goes off of. Hope that helps.
@@HondaJondoes the hidden screen tell me which tire is low. I have a 2020 Accord.
@amandagonzalez3382 I don’t think it has that capability
I can use web browser on my 2018 fit.....where in the heck is the web browser for my 2019 accord sport? Anyone? Please
John Wayne I have the sport 2.0 too, no apps what’s so ever smh🤦🏾♂️
You want a web browser in your car? Hmmkay
Sheikh Swervooo Have you ever figured anything out? I have the 2020 Accord sport. I’ve been tirelessly searching for any kind of hack to mirror my phone without jail breaking etc
Love how you’ve got your car setup. How did you do your wheels all black? Would love to do that to my wife’s accord
Thanks man. I appreciate that. It’s easy. Just get the black vinyl overlays. It takes time but once you get the hang of it it’s easy. Check out my original video on it
ua-cam.com/video/f0KawQ-AX7Q/v-deo.html
@@HondaJon oh wow just watched it, that’s not what I was expecting! Looks great. Have any opinions on that method vs plasti dip?
Yeah definitely changes the look instantly. I’ve yet to see plasti dip look all even and same finish. The glass black vinyl looks amazing. The main thing is to really clean the wheel before you start. Definitely use like a Windex or something like that to strip any wax or oil an allowed to dry completely. For the price you can’t beat it
Do know how to turn off the screen?
Are you talking about just the screen in general or how to get out of that hidden screen?
@@HondaJon the screen in general.
👀
Yes how to go back to the normal screen ?
Simply push any button and it will return to the main screen or turn the car off and it goes back to normal when it’s restarted
I don't think works on newer civics with the LCD screens, couldn't get to hidden menu
I bet it’s s different sequence.
Does anyone know how to get rid of the clock from showing up over the self installed wallpaper?
Is there any way to hide the total miles from the screen?
On the speedometer?
Honda Jon yes on the dashboard
Yeah you can cycle through and just show your trip
Did you know that holding the unlock button on the remote will roll down all 4 windows??
And open sunroof if equipped
It will roll down all mirrors but it doesnt put them back up.
and if you put the key in the lock, turn and hold it will roll the windows back up without starting the car
they should have a way to display the speed in the tachometer in MPH
I totally agree with you. I have no idea why that’s not an option.
@@HondaJon or a person figured out how to hack it and fix the issue
Maybe. I would like that. I am happy though the Accord still has an actual speedo and not just the numerical ones. I still prefer the needle setup over what the civics and pilots now use.
@@HondaJon u can have noth if the fix it to mph
How is that possible?
random question - do you notice a slight lag/skip when you are breaking a slow speeds?
W N I do
@@Amn22g Honda Jon or amadeep, have you had the car looked at for this issue?
W N not really just happens sometimes
There are even more hidden options if you hold the HOME button once initially entering the first hidden menu.
Thanks bro 😎
I have an LX and I don't have that.
Do you have any recommendations for dash camera?please let me know.
I don’t. I want to get one myself but don’t want to break the bank. It’s a good idea to have one nowadays. Let me know if you find a nice one. I’ll do the same.
I would lean towards something like a rear view mirror dual dash camera. They often do loop recording, and record audio. Pick one that has dual cameras that you can rotate yourself. Often this setup will let you monitor what's ahead of you and your cabin/ a little bit behind you.
Buy Rove 4K. Good recommendation. Bought two so far
Cool. My 2004 Acura TSX has something very similar to this.
anyone has a problem with their accord bluetooth delay? it drives me insane.
Yes bro!!
Yah!
Let me know if you figure out how to disable auto start/stop or the auto-braking shit where I don't have to disable it each start up.
How to play video?
You need an unlocked phone to be able to do it.
Wait this thing has gps tracking??
🤔
