Is Honda sensing really useful? I haven't tried it. I felt that it could be useful at times, and also counter productive too

Will the windscreen cost more due to the tech?

I also heard from SA that it will not work during heavy rain

If it's really smart enough to brake when I really need it, not when I don't need it. I wouldn't mind to pay more than 12k for it

Honda Sensing is not autonomous driving , although it does assist in terms of adaptive cruise control . lane assist and few others

Okay the problem is Malaysian roads , now the whole adaptive cruise control is great but the problem is it keeps a very far distance (you know malaysians like to keep as close as possible) and plus there are motorbikes. I was told that the Honda sensing software was tuned for Malaysian roads but again , take it with a pinch of salt

It's more of nice-to-have functionality that trains you to be better drive. Try cutting lane without signaling , the system would just beep !

I'm still undecided about Honda sensing. 60% No 40% yes.

Also I've been told that Android auto is not working. Only apple car play work. Can anyone attest to it?

No official support in Malaysia but you can download the apk and install it yourself.

Mind to share how to download the apk and make it work?

Wouldn't it void the warranty? Honda SA will just say that if anything is not done at Honda service centre, shall anything happened, warranty will be voided, including windscreen and window tint. So it's like need to kinda overpay for the tint, so that we would still have the warranty.

For the entire 5 years, we have to pay whatever the service center charges us. Good and bad at the same time.

Here you go -> https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-auto/ . Download and install it

Connect it to your CR-V , you'll get a prompt on your android and in CRV. Allow it and you would see Android Auto to load automatically biggrin.gif

Now enjoy !

Is it AWD important ? I wanted Honda sensing with AWD. Should I made a move with the current spec or wait ?
Buy now  then suddenly down the road Honda come out sensing AWD.  bangwall.gif

do you do off-road , if you have answered - yes - go for AWD

If it is mostly city driving/paved roads , just stick with 2WD

On my HU, it has App list, inside there have a App Installer, after select it it will show
"Cant found APK on USB root directory"

The other APPs "Browser" and "Download" UI is same with Android.

I'm using iPhone that's why I looking a way to install Waza haha, otherwise have to use Apple Map cry.gif

Install AA and connect. It runs a very stripped down version of Android

AA and let the phone use your car GPS , plus you get turn by turn direction in your HUD

That thought does cross my mind. What is a mid-end Android that will do this? I think I don't need those high end - I am not replacing my iPhone. Just thinking of supp a line and get a mid-Android phone for this purpose. Crazy?

Steer clear from Xiaomi

Pick up like a Samsung Galaxy J5 (999 ringgits) or something , it works well with Android Auto

http://www.lazada.com.my/samsung-galaxy-j3...85545.html?ff=1


Avoid Mi because AA hates it and Mi likes to put their crappy customization which breaks AA support


Else , like what someone said , just better jailbreak your iphone , install cydia and then you may use waze on the headunit hehehe

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. sad.gif
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.

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
