Super glad I found your channel. Don't own an Accord but it's nice finding out quirks, features and nice mods you can do with it. Keep up the great content!
awesome vid, very helpful ... pro-tip: 16GB Fat32 format thumb drive, if thumb drive is larger and not Fat32, partition the thumb drive with Disk Manager in Win10 or with DiskUtil in MacOs.
When I have my clock screen picture up, it displays the time in the upper right corner. Is there a way to remove the bigger clock time in the middle, so that only the picture is on the screen? I don't need two clocks on one screen. My display picture is of the "time circuits" from Back to the Future, and the numbers of the clock are overlayed on all the numbers for the year and time of the "time circuits". TIA
The Accord does not have pressure sensors in the wheels like other vehicles. The TPMS system uses the anti-lock brake system to determine if a tire is low on pressure. I wish it wasn’t so.
How do I even save the images ad jpg or bmp? I have the 2020 accord & I put some images on my flash drive but they saved as png& wouldn't give me any other option other than png
What I had to do was open them in another program. Try opening them in a paint program. Then just click save as and select jpg. Many programs will allow you to save them as different file types.
@@HondaJon how do I change the resolution? I think my car hates me. 🤦 it always fights with me... Also do you have issues with your car & phone not pairing? Like they'll be paired fine then suddenly they'll unpair & refuse to repair.
Lol. I know sometimes they are glitchy. As far as resolution goes. Just open the pic you want in a picture or paint program and go to properties and change resolution. It should be under edit. You can change it by pixels or percentage. Just change it by pixels and type in the numbers I listed. As far as phone what has helped me is resetting the head unit. Have you tried that? I have a video showing how to do it. It helps a lot.
As long as it’s the correct ratio it should work. Try putting it in a different folder when you open the drive up. And also save some as bmp and see if it shows up.
Only think I can suggest is using a different stick. I’ve heard some people had to get another one. It’s pretty easy. Once it’s in the computer simply save the image on it. As long as it’s the exact resolution and jpg it will work.
Hey yeah I did. And i have the wallpaper changed in the clock app. Now my question is for the main display/home screen. Where it shows icons like carplay, settings, bluetooth and etc. Can I change that wallpaper?
My USB drive drive is detected but the images are not. I have resized them several times, converted the photos to jpg, jpeg, and bmp. Still not detected. The photos are not the only files on my USB drive but they are in the root directory. What could be the problem?
I have had that problem. I deleted everything From the USB and just put the images on there. That helped. Once I had them recognized by the car by then just went back and added all the music onto the USB. It could be you have them in a folder. That was my problem originally. So by erasing everything and starting over you can select just to have the images On the USB drive.. I would try that and see if that’ll work.
Has anyone bee able to do this using a macbook air? Image is jpeg usb drive is fat32 format. I do the 1930x936 resolution and when i insert usb on the car it says “no files detected, please confirm a usb device is connected and that jpg/bmp files exist in the root directory” idk what this means.
This is why I miss the dual display from the previous Accords. Wallpaper/clock info on top and audio information on the bottom. That to me stands out and makes the Accord different then other cars. But the upside to the new/current Accords is the overall performance especially the Sport model.
Sorry and thank you for the help, i am no expert on device nor thech and i am seeking help, im trying to do they same thing on Honda Accord 2019 Honda Jon im trying to put the size 1920x936 is the 1920 the width and 936 as hight ? Thank u
i cant get it to work. i tried everything. i put the right resolution and format and even two different USB drives. the Honda detects it but just not the picture files. and they were under 2mb a picture. idk im lost.
Great. No problems. It saves a lot of frustration trying to go back and forth to find that right size. It’s nice to change the background every now and then 👍🏻
Hey Jon do I need to have a USB or can I import them from my phone? I know we have 2 USB ports but every tine I connect my phone android auto pops up any suggestions?
You make awesome vids! By the way, for some reason plugging in my phone with the USB no longer connects to my android auto. Do you know how to fix this issue? I tried restarting the app but still wont pop up onto my car
Thanks for the support. I appreciate the kind words. I would unlink and relink the phone. I’ve had to do that and it starts working again. Hope that helps.
Happened to me. Had to factory reset it and it works fine. But idk if its because somethings loose? Its just sensitive so it disconnects if i even tap on the usb chord. Tried different chords as well. Learning to live with it til @HondaJon comes up with something 😏
Hey Honda John just got a 2019 last week have you seen or heard of android auto having map problems. As soon as I plug my phone in and hit the icon it try’s to start a trip to a random address in my town. Never typed that address in before I don’t know why it wants to send me somewhere. Thoughts?
I have heard of that. Try disconnecting and reconnecting. Go Into the settings and make sure there isn’t an address in there. Sometimes on test drives customers try out these features and put addresses in.
I had a Q I just bought the sport model last month and the guy that sold me the car told me with the USB 3.0 I believe I can mirror my phone on to the screen and watch TH-cam I bought the cable but it don't work do you know or any1 know if this is true or he was just BS
I haven’t heard of that. I know if you jailbreak your phone you can do it. I have seen that. You install an app and it will allow it. But with a stock phone I don’t think there is a way.
Some people jailbreak their phone which means they go through a series of steps to unlock it. If it’s jailbroken they download a app that allows them to watch videos.
I just leased a 2019 Accord after years of being a Toyota fan. These videos are great. Thanks keep an coming
Nice. You’ll love it. I appreciate the support. What model did you pick up?
Just purchased my accord love this car it’s amazing 😌
Nice man. Congratulations. You won’t be disappointed

Super glad I found your channel. Don't own an Accord but it's nice finding out quirks, features and nice mods you can do with it. Keep up the great content!
Thanks. I really appreciate that.
I know this is completely unrelated to the video but I just got my key fob and got it programmed today for 85. Not bad for remote start!
That’s great. Not bad at all it’s awesome. It’s nice to have your car warmed up by the time you get it. And it’s all OEM 👍🏻
@Who Man did you get it from a Honda dealer? Did they give you a hard time about programming it?
rodriguez1ize yes I did it at a honda dealer. I just told them I want to program the key and that’s it. They didn’t give me a hard time at all
rodriguez1ize I got the key from eBay tho
Who Man k

Thanks for that info. It will definitely help people. I appreciate it.
@@HondaJon you're the real hero here, 1920 x 936 pixels is a perfect fit for the Honda i-Mid display in the 10th Gen Accord!!!
Aww thanks man. Means a lot. I appreciate the feedback bro. 👍🏻
When I have my clock screen picture up, it displays the time in the upper right corner. Is there a way to remove the bigger clock time in the middle, so that only the picture is on the screen?

Awesome, very helpful. Just had my accord sport 2.0 still night delivered today
Awesome. Congratulations. Great car. You’ll love all the things you can do with it. 👍🏻
I was wondering if you can use google maps with the Bluetooth?I can only do it with charging cord now.
Thank you so much! It took me forever to find the aspect ratio!
No problem man. Anytime. 👊🏼
Does anybody know for a 2019 Honda Accord on the screen is there a gauge you can look out for your tire pressures please help
The Accord does not have pressure sensors in the wheels like other vehicles. The TPMS system uses the anti-lock brake system to determine if a tire is low on pressure. I wish it wasn’t so.
No there’s no information on screen but, if the tires get low pressure the car let you know

@@HondaJon hhhmmmm no I haven't ill have to watch that video... Thanks for your help
Anytime. Hope it solves the issues 👍🏻
Thanks dude that was helpful my screen protector just came in and now I’ll set some dope lafc backgrounds
Great. It’s a nice customizable feature.
Mine won't show up for some reason, it's a 1920x936 FAT32 and .jpg, I don't understand whats wrong and I have a 16 GB USB.
As long as it’s the correct ratio it should work. Try putting it in a different folder when you open the drive up. And also save some as bmp and see if it shows up.
@@HondaJon Yeah, I don't I put a bunch of bmps and jpgs, still can't find it.
Only think I can suggest is using a different stick. I’ve heard some people had to get another one. It’s pretty easy. Once it’s in the computer simply save the image on it. As long as it’s the exact resolution and jpg it will work.
@@HondaJon Alright, thanks. I appreciate the early responses!
👊🏼
I just bought a 2019 Accord Hybrid just yesterday. I think I drove it about sixty miles before it lost the first bar off of full.
Nice. Yeah these accords are great on gas.
@@HondaJon It was the determining factor. I'm going to run the car for about three weeks and see what the real range is for me.
My Accord wont even access the USB...I'm wonder if the USB is too old or something. I download the photo as a JPEG too.
You might have to try another stick. I did run into that issue before.
My pictures come on the screen upside down any tips
That’s strange. Try flipping them on the computer and try again. Could be a glitch.
@@HondaJon thanks I tried that too but that didn’t work.
That’s weird. I’ve never heard of that happening. The other option is to try a different usb stick.
Hey, so can actually change the background of the main display? Or is it only the clock display?
You can change it whatever you’d like. Just use the format I mentioned when loading pictures.
Hey yeah I did. And i have the wallpaper changed in the clock app. Now my question is for the main display/home screen. Where it shows icons like carplay, settings, bluetooth and etc. Can I change that wallpaper?
No. That one is locked.
@@HondaJon ahh thats a bummer. On Civic you use to be able to change that as well. Not sure why Honda dont just allow it.
How to do with accord 2018 Lx screen non touch
There directions online but I forgot the exact way
Perfect!! Have you done the remote start key fob into the sport accord?
Yeah. That’s the first thing I did. Absolutely amazing. I use it everyday. It’s perfect for the cold mornings.
Can you do it with your phone
You can’t. It has to be on a flash drive in order for it to be recognized. That would be nice to do it from the phone.
It works on lower pixels idk why trying to figure out
My USB drive drive is detected but the images are not. I have resized them several times, converted the photos to jpg, jpeg, and bmp. Still not detected. The photos are not the only files on my USB drive but they are in the root directory. What could be the problem?
I have had that problem. I deleted everything From the USB and just put the images on there. That helped.

So by erasing everything and starting over you can select just to have the images On the USB drive.. I would try that and see if that’ll work.
On your computer, reformat the drive as FAT32. Be aware you will lose everything on it though.
im having this same issue and i even reformatted the usb to FAT32
Does anyone know how to do this for the LX model? Mine doesn't have apple carplay.
Has anyone bee able to do this using a macbook air? Image is jpeg usb drive is fat32 format. I do the 1930x936 resolution and when i insert usb on the car it says “no files detected, please confirm a usb device is connected and that jpg/bmp files exist in the root directory” idk what this means.
I can't recall the exact process but you can also do this with the NFC icon on the dash and tapping your phone to it and send phone image to the car.
That’s awesome. I don’t have that feature on my car but that would be great.
This is why I miss the dual display from the previous Accords. Wallpaper/clock info on top and audio information on the bottom. That to me stands out and makes the Accord different then other cars. But the upside to the new/current Accords is the overall performance especially the Sport model.
So you cant use your phone instead use a flash drive?
No. You have to use a flash drive. It’s really simple though.
Sorry and thank you for the help, i am no expert on device nor thech and i am seeking help, im trying to do they same thing on Honda Accord 2019 Honda Jon im trying to put the size 1920x936 is the 1920 the width and 936 as hight ? Thank u
Honda Jon and is that on inches pixels cm or mm pls help
Honda Jon sorry i am using mac
Yeah the 1920 is the width and the other is the height. It is pixels too. Don’t go oje pixel over those numbers or it won’t show up. Hope that helps.
i cant get it to work. i tried everything. i put the right resolution and format and even two different USB drives. the Honda detects it but just not the picture files. and they were under 2mb a picture. idk im lost.
JonathanV1031 same. Figure anything out?
Andrew Kim no. I gave up
How do I do this from iMac?
It would be the same. You need a usb drive and just open it and drag the pics onto it.
@@HondaJon thank you 🙏🏽 I got it
Awesome man. 👍🏻
Can you watch movies on the monitor?
You can but you have to have a jailbroken phone
@@HondaJon so I would have to sync my phone to the monitor?
Not exactly sure but have seen people do it by downloading an app on a jailbroken phone and watching movies on it.
@@HondaJon Ok. Thanks!!
No problem
Works!! The size you recommended is perfect!! Thank you so much🤗
Great. No problems. It saves a lot of frustration trying to go back and forth to find that right size. It’s nice to change the background every now and then 👍🏻
will this work on a 2021?
It definitely should. I believe it’s the same system.
Hey Jon do I need to have a USB or can I import them from my phone? I know we have 2 USB ports but every tine I connect my phone android auto pops up any suggestions?
Yeah you neee an actual cable to do it.
@@HondaJon I have an original cable from the not sure if I need a diffrent I have a diffrent cable but it does the same thing
What model of Accord do you have?
You make awesome vids! By the way, for some reason plugging in my phone with the USB no longer connects to my android auto. Do you know how to fix this issue? I tried restarting the app but still wont pop up onto my car

Does anybody know,can i change my Honda Accord LX 2019 multimedia screen to Accord another OEM touchscrern display?
Can I import files from my phone to my car
I don’t think so. You’ll have to load them in a usb Drive and import it that way
1920 x 936

@@HondaJon oh ok got you but the USB won't work then ok. Sucks I bought the lie but still happy with the car.
I know it would be nice if it was that easy. I wondered the same thing when I bought mine.
Can i upload family pic on it??
Yes. It just has to be the size I listed. 👍🏻
@@HondaJon thanx bro
No problem 👍🏻
i tried like zillion times, it said could not find images on my USB
It sometimes has glitches. What I tried was save a couple as jpeg and bitmap and make sure it’s in the root folder. Once you get it it’s easy.
Do you know what exact size and res it has to be to stretch to the whole screen? I got my images uploaded but they have black boarders
Yeah. Check
The description. I listed it in there I believe. If not in the video I know for sure I say the exact dimensions so there’s no boarders.
Honda Jon hell yeah I found it. Just gotta resize time 1920x936
Nice man. I always forget what it is too. Makes a big difference
Hey Jon how to I convert the images to jpg
I’m getting them from google and than saving them I just don’t know how to convert
You just select jpg when you save it. Maybe try save as. There should be an option or you can search for jpg only images.
Honda Jon thank you 👍🤝
No problem man.
Thank you!!
Absolutely. Glad it could help you.
worked like a charm, thanks!
Great. Thanks for the support
