Our Honda HU not support bluetooth linked to the iOS Carplay?

No.. With the exception of the 2017 BMW 5 series outfitted with their latest HU, all other supporting HU require a wired connection.

hopefully can support through future firmware/software update

I find myself just using Bluetooth for short drive.. and CarPlay only on longer ones. Which means, I am not using CarPlay as often as I like. Wireless CarPlay is definitely the way to go forward.

Nope, that is very unlikely. one would require a hardware upgrade for that. It's more complicated to achieve the speeds and reliability that a wired connection offers. Take Bluetooth-car connections for instance, it has been around for quite awhile and yet even today, there are still pairing or usage/compatibility issues. And this is for "relatively simple" tasks such as to make/receive calls and play audio. AA & CarPlay do much more and require more processing.

A more easily achievable upgrade option for current vehicles could be like a dongle that is plugged into the car's USB port and wirelessly connects to the phone.

Alternatively and if compatible, here's an after market option. Should you be feeling adventurous to swap out the current one..




Yeah, while wireless is definitely the way forward.. But it is not easy for it to be implemented especially given the adoption rate of wired AA & carplay. Car manufacturers are still dragging their feet to adopt this. Why? Well, part of the reason is that they've done a lot of R & D into their own HU, software and integration with vehicles. Can't just up and abandon em. Then we have to think about stability & security as well. A car can be a dangerous tool, by opening up wireless, manufacturers have to worry about new exploits, etc. Doing all this will take at least a couple years to iron out the kinks. I'd wager at least 5 - 10 years.

Pm me your shop name and address.

I still prefer using the USB cable anytime. In this way I can maintain my phone battery level and operating temperature. My old car player support wireless mirrorlink and that is horrible, my phone is hot and also battery level dropped too fast just for a 1hour trip.

Anyone know what's this Square grill thing is for? Is it to access the dashboard? My SA has no clues.

I was told that installing a hand brake bypass and using a wifi/bluetooth dongle, we would be able to use the mirroring feature. I saw it in the Honda Civic thread in lowyat forum.

Was thinking to install the hand brake bypass and get a wifi/bluetooth dongle but I'm not sure installing the hand brake bypass would

1. void any warranty.
2. cause the HU or dashboard to loose and starting to have rattling sound.

In dilemma now.

My SA told me it's just a place to put your stuff. Tissue box, small toy decoration. Not sure it's true or not.


By the way, did anyone install "Stolen Vehicle Recovery" CSE Connex? It's RM2960. Was wondering whether it's needed? or it's too much. There's a yearly fee as well.

From the reflection on the windscreen, that inside that grill thing is a many hexagon shapes - it does look like some sort of speaker.

SittingDuck don't recommend new friends to your SA. That's the biggest salesman bullshit I have ever seen. Toys??!!!

1. Get a cheap smartphone with GPS
2. Buy Digi Data SIM (its like RM 10 per line)
3. Put it inside and hide the phone somewhere
4. Now you may track your car/phone from anywhere ! , it can even send out SMS
5. Bonus - AA on your car

RM10 is for 7 days.
Go for the RM28/month and get 3GB. Even cheaper than Maxis..

RM 10 extra - for data only line , provided if you are a Digi subscriber

Instead of paying to some company/china company. I prefer to DIY yourself. You get more control

Use Tasker + IFTTT + Connect to AA , then you can have some triggers as well

That is indeed awesome. I need to port out of maxis asap!

Time to get a 2nd andorid device and experience AA

On the DIY security and other stuff
Looks like you need ODB2 device - that plugs in to the car diagnostic port and then DIY

Self DIY. No LED type
