Hi! I have a 2018 hrv ex sport utility 4d, I can’t figure out where to find the maps, I don’t think it has the navigation system.. using the hdmi I should be able to see my maps through my phone right?
Would you know how I could change the dashboard lights from Blue to red and I'm not talking about the ring I'm talking about how fast you're going or the other stuff I have a 2016 or 2017 Honda HRV I certainly would like to change them and keep them bright if I could
Thank you for your video! Bought the firestick and managed to connect it to my european HRV 2016, however I cannot disable the feature. Basically power, eject and home button does not work for me. I cannot make it to the self diagnostic menu. Any thoughts?
What a good security camera for my car and to record while I’m driving just in case a accident do you have any recommendations especially while it’s park
@@ChardTheTechGuy yea bro, I have it since August and I love it! Cameras are phenomenal. I even shot a couple short cinematic films with it like this: th-cam.com/video/tBTa0Mv_GY4/w-d-xo.html
I've been trying to get the Firestick to work in my 2019 civic. Nothing displayed, also tried a phone connected to the HDMI..again nothing displayed. Any ideas?
First, are you trying it when the gear shift is in park? It will not work while driving, so you have to do some fancy foot work to make that happen. Go to this link from HRVex (th-cam.com/video/uec-ZsnJoQE/w-d-xo.html) in the description he point out all the steps and I want to give him credit for it. Let me know.
It's working now, so I have to select hdmi in the source menu and then press audio at the top where it has 3 buttons map, audio and another. I would have thought simply selecting HDMI in the source menu would be all that is required.
I have chimed in before and also send messages to HRVex, but I can not even get a display when plugging in my Amazon TV stick to the hdmi, connected usb cable as well and followed all the instructions as you and HRVex have outlined. It works on a tv monitor fine. Has this option been shut down in the 2017 HRV?? Just purchased this beautiful certified car used with 21k miles and before I bring into service about the non-working hdmi port, I wanted to run this by the HRV expert... TY for your help....
Lewis that is a good question, I know it works fine on the 2016 HRV, which is what me and HRVex has. I can do some research and see what I can find out for you...
Hi Chard. I have an hdmi cable, but it doesn't work well on my car screen, half of my screen remains black, I can't see videos. What I can do? Thank you. honda fit 2015
Would love a short step-by-step as a reminder (I'll make a copy from HRVex) video. I would keep the instruction in the HRV 2016 till I have it memorized, I had installed the Offline Sygic GPS Navigation app, it does speak through the HRV speakers; would love to cast it to the HRV screen. I wasn't too happy with Android Auto app, seemed slow and took up battery power.
Thank you for sharing HRVex video (Thanks HRVex !) on how to connect the android phone to screen using HDMI, I'm liking the 2016 HRV even more than I have before.
Yes it does, you will need to connect the Fore TV stick to your mobile hotspot on your phone. When the Fire Stick ask for the network connection, just choose your hot spot instead.
I tried this just now. I have a 2016 Honda hrv exl Navi I did all the steps but once I drive away over 10 mph it just says hdmi input the video audio will still play through speakers. Video will only come on when I break to a complete stop or place in park. Any ideas how to keep it playing while driving? Maybe I missed a step? I followed the video you tagged. Thanks in advance!
***WARNING DO NOT WATCH TV WHILE DRIVING - PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE ROAD. Below are steps from HRVex (th-cam.com/video/uec-ZsnJoQE/w-d-xo.html) video. 1) Hold the power button, the eject button, and the home button at the same time for about 3 seconds until you see a menu with two options which are self-diagnosis mode and detail information and setting.

Very good video. Useful. Personally, will never buy a Honda again for the infotainment it have. Infotainment is a very important part of the daily use of the car and Honda is the worst compared to other brands I have had. The navigation system is a disaster. So long Honda. Never again...
Yes, I have to agree with you on that one - the infotainment does suck and I wish they would hire someone to jazz it up. May I ask what brand did you switch to?
Once you have it all set up and working properly you can mirror your phone to the fire stick which will allow you to display Google maps on your car screen.
Chard The Tech Guy ah! That’s awesome! It must be location specific or something because my $45/25gig plan does not allow hotspot. It’s very tempting to upgrade to the $55 plan which includes 10gigs of hotspot with Unlimited mobile data. Thank you for replying! Very helpful video as well :)
@@OPRoadtoRecovery I'm sorry, yes you are right the extra 10 GB is on the $55 plan, but you can turn on hotspot on your phone (if option is available, I do on mine) and use it on the $45 plan until the it runs out, trust me i do all the time. So far I haven't use it all up from month to month. Whenever that time comes I will probably upgrade to the $55 plan. Thank you for the compliments.
It's a shame Honda doesn't make it easy for consumers to be responsible for themselves to be able to choose for themselves to utilize the full potential of the head unit.
Yes, I understand. I think they just don't want to take responsibility for what could happen. Cause you know somebody's gonna sue them, if something bad happens.
Not sure why you are having that issue, I have a non-navigation system in my HRV. You might have to do a little more digging for your system. If I find anything I'll let you know.
I have the same year H-RV with navi and mine does the same thing. After about 5mph the screen displays "HDMI IN" and all you get is the audio and not the picture. I came here here hoping I could find a solution but so far, nothing.
Hey can you make a video on how to remove and replace the 3rd brake light (center brake light) for the Honda HRV... I’ve tried and tried ... looked up videos ... and.manuals ... and let me tell you ... there isn’t a single solution anywhere on the internet which is rare ... trust me .. I’ve LOOKED ... and first I want to save money from avoiding the dealership because I broke it by accident but now it’s turned into a Rubik’s cube challenge ... there’s no hidden screws nor can you remove it from under the trunk door ... give it a shot ... make a video ... and I’ll be watching ... good luck
AOKfresno, I think that whole unit is made up of LED lights, but after analyzing it there is a screw underneath the unit or it might require the removal of the inside back panel to get to it., let me look at it some more and I'll let you know.
My 2017 hrv HDMI does not work...thinking about having it checked out..just purchased n under certified warranty..just wanted to make sure it is supported under this year n model
Hmmm? I would seriously hesitate before making this change/addition to the HDMI port simply because of the insurance liability if ever I were in an accident and an investigator or insurance adjuster found that a video was playing (or could have been playing) at the time of the accident. Just saying...
John, there are other uses with this that is convenient and safe. If you wanna text or call, you can use Google Assistant which is faster than the voice commands already on the HR-V th-cam.com/video/ecWNOd_8CdI/w-d-xo.html
So how do i enable so my screen can show while driving ? More instructions please
Chard Tech Guy, This is something I would like to try to hook up in my vehicle. This benefits the passenger as well when going on long trips. Thanks for the infl
I did this while we went on our road trip, but please be careful and don't watch while driving.
Yes, the benefits are awesome, but just like HRVex said, use it wisely and don't watch while driving.

Does it matter if the stick is 1080 p or 4κ as is the screens doesn’t accept higher resolution !

yeah, they did get rid of the HDMI on the new model, you have my attention on this!!
Yup, definitely keeping my 2016!
Yes, buyer be aware!
Does it require WiFi?
Thank you for your video!

Well, it's hard to say, maybe it doesn't work in the European market vs the north American market.
What a good security camera for my car and to record while I’m driving just in case a accident do you have any recommendations especially while it’s park
I haven't find one yet, but I will do some research and if I find one I will do a video on it.
Hows the sound quality.. blessings
Sounds pretty good, try it. Blessings
Stereo surround sound in my use 👌
Hey Chard, thanks for the shout out, but I changed my name from "HR-Vex" to "XPERIAnce" FYI just in case anyone wants to know who HR-Vex was 👍

I have the 2018 HRV
I tried with my iPhone but it doesn’t work. Please help with this.
I got 2016 HONDA HRV
With the iPhone I would recommend using the iPod phone option in the head unit
Awesome video, which model of Firestick do you use?
Thank you! You can get current on - the 4K one is best
@@ChardTheTechGuydo you have a video showing everything you can do in your car with a Firestick for those of us who don't know what they are

Hi Chard , great video on HDMI port with fire stick, would like to know does this work with Chrome cast ?
Hi Chard . I bought the Amazon fire stick. Do I have create an account through the computer and than plug in to the car?
If I hook up game system would it work? Say the PS classic since it doesn't take much power
I don't see why not, give it a shot and let me know.
I tried it on my civic 2017. Doesn't work just get the massage "unsupported" when I turn on the console
Do you think this will work with iPhone combined with Apple TV?
Hi Chard. I have an hdmi cable, but it doesn't work well on my car screen, half of my screen remains black, I can't see videos. What I can do? Thank you. honda fit 2015
Hello Marlon, I would try another cable, if that doesn't work then it might be the port. Which means you'll need to have someone to look at it.
Would love a short step-by-step as a reminder (I'll make a copy from HRVex) video. I would keep the instruction in the HRV 2016 till I have it memorized, I had installed the Offline Sygic GPS Navigation app, it does speak through the HRV speakers; would love to cast it to the HRV screen. I wasn't too happy with Android Auto app, seemed slow and took up battery power.
J Moore, just print out the steps in his description and keep it in the glove box, after a while you will memorize the steps.
Once you get it down, it will be second nature and can be done in less than 6 seconds
Thank you for sharing HRVex video (Thanks HRVex !) on how to connect the android phone to screen using HDMI, I'm liking the 2016 HRV even more than I have before.
@@junezalukmoore you're welcome! What color do you have?
Deep Ocean Pearl, I like the color!
Does the fire stick need wifi? If so. How will it work while out on the road?
Yes it does, you will need to connect the Fore TV stick to your mobile hotspot on your phone. When the Fire Stick ask for the network connection, just choose your hot spot instead.
Question how are you able to use the fire stick internet wise I’m confused are you tethering? I have a 2018 hrv
I'm using the hotspot on my phone to provide internet to the Fire-stick. If you do that make sure you plug the phone into a power source.

Can This Be Done On Hrv Ex L Model Without The Firestick? If So How? -Thank You
Hey BossLadyyTee, I'm assuming you are asking without the HDMI port on the EX-L. If so you can't make it possible without a HDMI port
You are welcome, glad to help
Thanks For Your Response, I Do Have The HDMI Port, Just Wondering If Theres Another Option To Play Movies Etc. While In Drive Without The Firesrick?
My firestick cuts off to HDMI In when I drive for as little as 5 seconds. Help please!!!!
@@BossLadyyTee Yes there are work around - I wouldn't recommend doing that
Dear Chard, for your info: There is in the new Honda HR-V 2019 (Europe version) also a HDMI connector. I read it in the new brochure.
Hans Schoens that's great news, I'm not sure why they took it out of the US version.
Chard, do you know a way to add a Front-View camera to a Honda? Is there a method to use the HDMI to interface to a front camera?
Ron, I am experimenting with that idea myself, let you know what I come up with.
Very good video. Useful. Personally, will never buy a Honda again for the infotainment it have. Infotainment is a very important part of the daily use of the car and Honda is the worst compared to other brands I have had. The navigation system is a disaster. So long Honda. Never again...

Once you have it all set up and working properly you can mirror your phone to the fire stick which will allow you to display Google maps on your car screen.
@@SumHomiehow if there is no wifi while traveling?
Random question, but how are you using mobile hotspot via straight talk? Is that an added price per month or included in your standard monthly data?
It's already included, nothing extra. It's part of the 25 GB monthly allowance, 2G after that.
Chard The Tech Guy ah! That’s awesome! It must be location specific or something because my $45/25gig plan does not allow hotspot. It’s very tempting to upgrade to the $55 plan which includes 10gigs of hotspot with Unlimited mobile data. Thank you for replying! Very helpful video as well :)

Honda must have different software running on the NAVI units versus the ones without it.
