Just had my 2018 CRV two weeks but I LOVE it. Still looking at video's and learning from all the excellent information. Was shown these things with purchase but it was a lot to take in.
This is only my second video I've watched from you but I am finding so many new things out about my little 2016 civic. Thanks for making your videos short too. Some people take too long and I don't bother watching them because of that. Thanks again. Great job! Praying you find success in your job!
I remember trying this on my honda fit EX 2018. I tried TH-cam and I was so shocked. Lol. Owned the car for about 5 years and my car still amazes me with little things I keep finding out about it.
Hello Philip. I wish I could have asked you that question before. I bought the 2018 model and the CarPlay maps doesn’t work in full mode and my hope was to use WiFi in the car for Google maps instead. I would need to live with this for the next 5 years or until Honda and or Apple come with a better integration of software Happy holidays
Great video! Just bought a 2017 Pilot Elite for my wife.....lots of nifty features that we're learning about. I guess the 84 people who clicked dislike must have bought a different brand! LOL
@@gearedtowardsautomotive this particular method worked for me for yeas...but just recently all youtube videos won't play just a handful might...that would last for weeks and then for a day or 2 all videos would play again no problem...but then back to not playing most again
I really don’t get it. So I create a hotspot with my phone to connect to my Honda so I can create a Honda hotspot? Why wouldn’t I just connect the devices in my car using the hotspot on my phone? Why wouldn’t I just browse the Internet on my phone that i can hold in my hand? I have these features but I really don’t see how they are useful at all. What do I gain from connecting my Honda to the internet other than being able to browse the internet for some weird reason?
@@fredziffle5219 larger screen? Mine was a 2018 pilot. Only screen I have is the kids screen in the back and the front one can’t view anything more than car play would have. What larger screen did you gain? My kids usually have the iPad plugged into the rear hdmi for movies and they can download ahead or connect to my phone for hotspot. How does this affect screen sizes in any way? Maybe newer models are different?
@@strawberry4450 my phone is smaller than the screen he shows on the dashboard of this vehicle. Watch it again, you might have missed it. He turns the whole car dashboard screen into a computer modem.
@@fredziffle5219 okay so he used google on it. Okay I guess? Not a great interface however. Maybe I will try it and see if it’s worth it. Maybe if it can run Netflix it’s okay. I’ve never tried.
Thx Phil very helpful. On a separate note, it is possible to set up on the driver door handle to open all the locks and not just the driver door from the outside door handle? Right now the passenger front door handle opens all the locks.
For those wondering this works because the infotainment system runs Android. On my 2020 CR-V it's Android 4.x so quite a old version. But that means you can sideload Android apps.
2017 Civic EX, about to go out to my car and try it. I have AT&T, does that make a difference? Your video is very informative! I saved it on my phone, can watch while activating wifi. Thanks!!
Philip, Is it possible to use the Wifi connectivity to do firmware updates to the radio software? I've found that it occasionally goes south on me, it's locked up about 3 times in the last year... music typically keeps playing, the radio goes dark and eventually it does a hard reboot. I dug around in the menus and it appears to run Linux 4.2.2, which is pretty old. I was wondering if there might be an update to provide better stability. Thanks.
@@ericsail14 No, afraid not Eric. I did take my CR-V into the dealer for a service, and to do a recall (transmission shifter pushbutton can fly apart) and my radio problems pretty much disappeared. It does lock up, but maybe once a year. So I suspect there is an update.
So I followed your directions and got to the App/widget page but I don’t have browser there. I see three things app installer, calculator and downloads. How can I download browser?
My wife’s 2015 CR-V EX has a 7 in. touch screen and I am not able to connect my phone. Should I be able to or is this capability only available on newer cars?
Thanks. All Honda cars are the similar. Can I put a SIM card in the car and use a WiFi ? As is the case in Audi . I hope you understand my question . Thanks
Phil, I just purchased a 2018 Honda Accord Touring Model and no one at my dealership has a clue to display/access/download the web browser you highlighted in your above TH-cam video. Can you tell me how to access it in my 2018 Honda Accord since the browser icon is not displayed anywhere? Or did Honda remove this feature and downgrade the 2018 Accords?
Have a 2019 civic sport and I did everything you said but when I got to look at the browser I don't have it, only have app installer, calculator and downloads. At the top its on the app section the to the left I have widget with no options in it at all do I need to by pass to get browser ? Like a code
Your WIFI video was great. Question... when you are on the web can you open Google maps and thus have a GPS operating in your car even if your car is not equipped with a GPS?
No because the car doesn't have a GPS antenna. You would have to download offline maps, and the infotainment system has a very small amount of free space (you can even sideload the google maps app because the infotainment system runs on Android). But again without internet and GPS it won't do you any good. Hence why I'd suggest Android Auto or Carplay instead
Helpful video, my issue is, the Carplay icon just for reason went missing from from my 2019 Honda HRV, Sport. I've already restarted the engine multiple time, rebooted my iphone and i am not able to get it back on the screen. Please assist - thank you
How do you get to internet with 2018 Accord Touring. Connected to my Iphone8, but my screen has different options than the Civic. Can’t find button to get to web?
leather captain seats, space and comfort and 360 view as nice features. but the infotainment sucks. NO navigation, NO wifi. By the way i forgot to tell this is New Zealand Odyssey. The US Odyssey is REALLY cool. I made the mistake of buying on impulse not much plan or thought. My woes. Thank you for your videos they are really nice and helpful.
How do you access browser on the 2018 honda cr-v? It's under Apps in the settings, but when I go to the apps screen I only have calc. apk install and downloads.
Philip Lombardi, My 2018 CR-V EX-L has the Wi-Fi option and I can access my home Wi-Fi as well as my cell phone hot spot. However, my system only has the App Installer, Calculator and Downloads on the APP screen. How do I get a Browser and Search APP or any other APP to display on my screen? Is it possible to upload an APP? If so, can you run me through the process?
My text messages stopped being read aloud to me a few weeks ago on my 2018 Accord. I’ve un-paired and re-pairEd my iPhone but still cannot have the system read the messages or respond to them verbally. Any suggestions?
Nice video, I have a 2018 CRV. I followed everything you said up until u showed the App screen. Mine only has three Apps, app installer, calculator and Downloads. Calculator is the only one that works. How can i get the browser?
I would like CarPlay installed but can’t seem to be able too,iv read that 2017 crv should have installed but mine doesn’t have it. Any way to bet it installed? It is a cr v se + I- dtec
hi philip thanks for sharing this awesome feature. in your video you show connecting WIFI. but how do i connect my phone hotspot in wifi device list . like in yor wifi device list it see philips iphone . thank you
My mom has a 2018 Honda Pilot would this work on it too the wifi were going on a long trip tomorrow and i would like to watch TH-cam and she says she doesn’t have wifi but it says Bluetooth/wifi so I think it does. Does it ?
have issue on my 2019 type r, info control on the steering stop working volume + & - not working also. any idea if there any reboot or reseting need to be done? this happen when my battery went low and I disconnect the battery and let it charge.
Thanks for this. I'd love to see a bumper change and also what is required at each time a service takes place based on dealers outline criteria. Also can the 2017 Civic bumper fit the 2016 civic sedan ?
Libera Music wifi will be available in 2018 odyssey and possibly other future Honda's. wifi comes from public source or your phones hotspot in this car
Go into the settings. I can't remember exactly how to get there but just keep digging around in settings. Eventually you will find the settings "app" which is how I learned the infotainment system runs on Android (version 4.x), that's why you can sideload android apps.
I have it enabled too for my 2017 Honda Civic. It’s nice but I don’t use it as much. I still just go through my phone or iPad lol. Nice to have though.
Hi. I tried it on my 2018 Honda accord Sport and could not get to work. Even tried installing google chrome and could not install it either is mine car different or have they blocked? Thank you
I have a 2018 honda civic and i am facing a problem of wifi after connection the signal goes down after few seconds and gets disconnected or not in range for no reason which I don’t understand any help?
I’m having a feeling that’s it’s only cars with Apple car play and android auto that have WiFi. Cause Chevy also does this. I don’t think my Prius has WiFi.
Whats up with the battery of this 2017 Honda civic EXL. It goes dead every time it wants when the car is off and for no reason. Does anybody else have this prob?
I had a problem something like that if you are the driver and your headlight are on auto and you stop the car turn the engine off your headlights will stay on until you exit the car so if you are waiting on someone that went in som8ewhere turn your headlights off are get out of the car.
I have the CRV, interested in the apps and widget area, any additional programs you can put in the car to use while you're parked safely somewhere? (of course)

I just restarted phone, can set up as hotspot. car/phone is acting wonky. Will try tomorrow.
Brilliant mate. Just got a Honda Civic Sport in UK on 69 plate. Can't wait to get online. Buzzing!
awesome! but how can I download apps to the system?

Does my 1988 Accord come with this feature?
Julius Jones lmao
@@paris7884 Very simplified,good video,instructions not cluttered and clear.Thanx

Just be happy it still runs
cool!! thank you! subscribed
2016 Pilot, is there any way to get the web up when not in Park, seems useless if you can not actually use on the road
Good info!
So You Tube can be viewed as well?
