My wifes drive has over 200 songs on it and her trx only plays about 20 before repeating ?
Honda software platform is notoriously obnoxious to work with. Try some of the steps in this video I made to trouble shoot. As an addition to the video stick with drives 16gb or smaller. For some reason Honda doesn't respond well to "larger" drives. ruclips.net/video/nleuqOS7aUA/видео.html
I’ve tried every Bluetooth connection for my iPod Classic!! It’s a Late 2009 160gb, still works, but trying to connect it to my ford Expedition!!🤦🏻♂️omg! What a headache. Picked up a USB thumb drive, formatted it to ExFat, moved my music files by dragging it over, and connected it to my truck, and bam 💥!! I can use and play all my music, still get calls, and I have the Apple car play!! It really was very simple to move the music to the usb. No cables or anything, it just made it really simple👍🏼👍🏼
Its tough to move from something you've used for a long time to something new. I'm glad it worked out well for you. 😃
How Many Songs / Folders can you have on it?
Not sure. I currently have about 150 songs.
I don't understand you are Jewish and feel bad. I love the Jews. I am a Christian and I love the Jews. My savior is a Jew, Jesus. He loves all of us who live for Him. Perhaps you need more exercise so you can work on being overweight. God bless you.
I don't feel bad for being a Jew, I just have a playful self depreciating sense of humor. I find it comical that many people nowadays can't pick up on that. I appreciate your kind wishes.
no matter what i use , regular usb, solid state usb, fat32, ntfs, it just says { connect device }. 2024 civic with 302 miles
As it turns out I was unable to attach anything larger than 16gb in size. Other than that or the ideas I give in the following link then the dealership is your only recourse. Welcome to Honda's crap software systems. ruclips.net/video/nleuqOS7aUA/видео.htmlsi=r9XPuXN1nPZB4K5H
Aye! This kinda sh*t is what sent me to RUclips University Mechanics School to do my own work.
Yeah . Just a bit of screwy reconstruction. 😉
Thanks! Funny and helpful.😊
Glad you enjoyed it.
I paid $109 to have my engine air filter replaced. never again. Thank you for your video!!
I'm glad it helps you out.
I lost count how many times you said I screwed up, put it on backwards and this is a an assembly video 😝 🤦♂️
It's not exactly instructional per se but more for entertainment and fun. I am a super doofus so the point is definitely taken.🤪👍
Thank you!
No problem. This was an annoying issue no one had answered.
Thanks for the video. You are a mensch!
🤣
How did you guys by pass the hondas volume middigation system becuse when you add a sub ti honda especially the insight thay lower the nase the higher the volume and dose it sound good?
You can unplug the ANC module. It's in the dash just behind the glove box area. It's a silver box and it's easy to get to and once you unplug it the car will stop trying to mitigate the bass of the sub with odd noises
Do you use CarPlay/Android Auto? If so does it show upcoming turns on the navigation section in the DII (Gauge Cluster) while using CarPlay or Android Auto?
It will show turns in the navigation window in the dash with Android auto. I don't know about Apple.
Thank you for the video , didn’t work when I bought the usb and put music on , but after watching your video it works great now . Thank you again . 😊
Glad it worked out for you. Honda software is a major pain to deal with .
Thank you, super helpful instructions! Now I’ll have to check your other videos to see what else I can learn to do myself!!
Glad the video helped you out 👍
Thanks bro I got it done pretty easily with your help!
Glad it worked out for you.👍
Which do you like better … the legends pinball or attack from Mars? Thank you😊
The legends was definitely better. As of now I sold it and had a full sized digital pinball made for me. I figured I deserved it 😉
I really want the parking sensors, but my dealer wants about $1800 for parts and labor.
It's a big job. You might be able to buy the sensor kit online for a lower price and get a local shop to install for a better price. A body shop might be a good choice.
THANK YOU! Just changed mine, you gave me confidence to go ahead and do it myself!!
I'm glad it helped you out!👍
Thanks Verdier, took only 2 minutes with the help of your video!
Awesome! 👍
Does this sequence work also for using an insight to help jumpstart another dead car?
I haven't read about it but its definitely the same jump points. As a precaution I would switch the car into sport mode or turn on the heat in order to make sure the engine is running. Though these points are mainly for the 12 volt battery I wouldn't chance running the car low on juice since I'm not sure how the Insight's system will interpret this power drain. It's better to have a portable charger in your car. I would check the user manual on this before trying it .
Very good job, thanks a bunch bro
Hope it helps.😁
Now that it’s 5 years later, have you noticed this issue still exists? Have you tested any other Insights, and do they have these issues?
(For reference I have a late 2019 Insight EX and I have not taken it on the highway yet)
This is an issue that as far as I can tell can only be fixed with significant software changes in the Bosch system which might percipitate some hardware changes. The system isn't terrible, you just have to remember it's a 2018 or earlier made system by Bosch and it has some significant weaknesses. From what I heard Honda picked an off the shelf system from Bosch when they had originally intended to have a system customized for this car in particular. It's unfortunate that the insight wasn't a bigger success.😔
@@verdier4006 it really was. I wonder why it failed. The Prius is still going and that is objectively not as good of a car (in looks, features, and stigma). I just got my temps and this is my first car. I love it a lot and I’ve been binging your videos to find out all I can about the different features, tips, and upgrades. I’m planning on getting parking sensors. Do you still have yours? How has the experience been over the years? You haven’t posted a video in a while,
Yes I still have mine. I haven't been driving a lot and I've been suffering some depression issues and such so I haven't been up to making videos. The car is doing quite well , in fact it's due for an oil change this Friday.
@@verdier4006 I’m sorry to hear that. I’m glad it’s still going. Well I hope you feel better, and if you get back to posting videos, we’ll be here for it!
999th thumb up lol. Does the deck let you shuffle music? If so can you include it exclude certain folders as you see fit?
You certainly can shuffle and it only shuffles in the folder you're in. If you press the shuffle button multiple times it will sequence between folders to shuffle in or shuffle all files. I don't think there is any way to exclude particular folders from others to not shuffle.
What makes you or anyone else they are exempt from being let go by corp America.
Who said I'm exempt? Just posting the situation and what happened. Sounds a little like you have more of an issue with this than I.🤔
question because im about to do this. Do I need to reprogram the key to my car afterwards?
Nope.👍
Verdier. I have the pre owned certified Honda care. It’s still covered. They’re not covering it because they are saying the ac vent is “cosmetic.” After all the time deliberating that it was the ac vent, they won’t even swap it out.
Talk to Honda of America about it. If the vent is rattling then it's not cosmetic. To be frank, they probably can't fix it. As I've said mine still rattles even to this day after changing it twice. One person took the vent out and replaced the plastic stabilization rods in the vanes with a metal rod he made himself. From what i heard that worked. I also recommend you file complaints in all car consumer groups if they refuse the repair. Make sure everyone knows that Honda doesn't stand by their products. Honda has been steadily dropping in their most reliability stats for years now.🤔😡
Did you have to install an adapter to your oem stereo to be able to hook up an aftermarket amplifier? If you did do you remember which one it was. I have a 2021 insight but it doesn't have a factory amp and sub.
Okay if it's an LX model then you would probably need to change the head unit to an aftermarket one then you can run an amp off of that. If it's an ex model then it has the nice screen up there but no premium sound system. In that case take it to a radio shop and see what kind of outputs it has. I'm pretty sure it spans out to about 6 channels or so. If it has a digital output then the Metro axxess ax dspx-hn3 may work with it. I know this unit will translate the signal from the digital output from the head unit of the touring model even though it says it's not made for the insight. Metro doesn't know or support that it works, but it definitely works with the head unit on the touring which has a digital output. I believe the ex has a similar output. Once you use this it will translate all the digital data into rca outputs so you can send it out cleanly into an amp of your choice. It even has a built in DSP so you can shape the music to whatever you like . If you want to talk directly email me at verdier400@gmail.com and we can set up to talk or text on the phone and I'll tell you what Ive learned.
@verdier4006 yea I have the ex model with the screen. I was looking at other videos and it seems that using a Loc works really well also. And I don't have to mess with the actual stereo at all. I already ordered it. Only 18 bucks on Amazon. If not I'll look into the one you said. Thank you.
Appreciate the true experience of seeing how it’s done in real life, in real time.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😁
Wow! I didn't know you can delete the files from your thumb drive! Will it play mp4s? I'm trying to find out how to change mp4s into mp3s.
MP4 is usually used as a container for video files. You won't be able to play them through the thumb drive with the current system software in the car. You can use Android auto and there are programs out there that might play video files. Carstream is an app that might do it but you'll have to search the web for it. It won't be on the app store. If you just want to play the audio from an MP4 video through your thumb drive you can find a converter that will strip the audio from an MP4 and turn it into an MP3. Audacity might have this function. You can just type "MP4 to MP3 converter" in Google and im sure you'll find plenty of free programs that can do it .
Thanks ! I just changed mine after 115k miles lmaaaao
Your welcome. Name your car and you might take better care of her . 😉
Can this be done using a Mac?
I would assume so as long as you format it in a PC structure such as fat 32 and not in a Macintosh format .
Thanks so much. Great directions. So helpful with my 2019 Honda Insight.
Glad it helped you out.
Not supposed to use LED bulbs for turn signal and backup lamps. Actually illegal in some states. Brake lights can be LED. The reason is that it can be dangerous because LEDs create directional light, and regular bulbs create a sphere of light visible in all directions.
Yes I am aware of this. Some led bulb replacements will work fine depending on the design of the bulb itself. Due to the directionality of led bulbs your mileage may vary. Most states are usually concerned mostly with headlight led replacement bulbs since design elements of the headlamp itself are made for particular kinds of bulbs. Most of the time when you switch standard bulbs in headlamps with led bulbs you end up with very poor beam patterns and generally a much poorer headlamp .
my left vent rattles a little bit 2022 ex
Vent rattle is annoying in this car at times. Luckily I play my music loud so I rarely hear it.
@@verdier4006 There wasn't a way to get it fixed under warranty? I just dropped my car off at the dealer today because I've had a persistent water leak in the roof behind the left quarter glass, and they said they are going to fix it under warranty. When I dropped it off I also mentioned the vent rattle and the vent roller on off lever thing looks like it was installed wrong from the factory. Fingers crossed they can fix it under warranty or worst case bill it off the the cost center.
I've replaced the vent twice and I still get a rattle at times. Unfortunately replacing that particular vent is a 3 hour job and the more they take the dash apart and put it back together the more likely something else in the dash will start rattling. It only happens when the vent is in a certain position and the air is set in a higher position. I've decided they've tried hard enough to fix it and I'll just live with it for now.
some vehicles require a format to Exfat instead of Fat32
Interesting. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that someone had to make it even harder for the end user.😉
Man I tried everything, went through different forums but nothing seems to be working. I plug my flash drive and only 1 out of the 3 songs play for some reason. All the property settings are the same.
If you've actually followed every one of the steps I put in this video then I don't know what to say. I would buy a new 16gb maximum size drive, format it to fat 32, encode all three songs again with a different encoder, put them on the drive, and try it again. My personal guess it's an encoder issue but otherwise I can't figure beyond what I put in the video. I'm sorry 😔
I want it fixed, because it constantly pops up and you can't get it off the damng screen.
What's actually happening? I had trouble understanding your post.🤔
Thanks!
You're welcome .
Thanks , I got it to work by switching to a 32gb card. Kinda sad though. A 256gb holds my entire music collection with space to spare. So I'll continue to use my phones Bluetooth for now. Hopefully Honda Sound systems with have an upgrade one day.
The unsupported message has happened to me too even with smaller drives. I think the system can sometimes corrupt the drive. Reinstalling the music on the drive fresh can sometimes restore it
Useful information. Unnecessary language inuendo.☹
Sorry but a dark sense of humor is necessary on my videos.
Hopefully you will accept this statement as intended, as a suggested pointer for instructional videos. Get to the point without all the history and personal content. You loose your audience quickly when you don't get to the point.
Understood, but, I make the videos for myself not the audience. I don't make any of these videos for fame, attention, or money, so it's basically bonus content for whatever audience chooses to view it. Nothing else.👍

I'm glad it helped you out.
My 2019 Insight has been working well.... no major issues but still less than 35K miles on it (I work from home).
I've been hit with every recall issue. I think I got one of the early models.
Thanks I think I'll try all of these. Main problem I'm having is The 128 gb worked perfectly, But I wanted to add some new music. Then plugged it back a then I got the non supported after this card worked for nearly a year.
I have had this problem several times. The first thing I've done that fixed this was reformat the thumb drive on my computer then recopy all the mp3s back on the drive. I think the car tends to corrupt the database it writes on the thumb drive which holds all the meta data for the car to read and in turn the drive fails to read after that. If that doesn't work for you then just use a new thumb drive and copy the mp3s to the new one. Make sure to only copy the mp3s and no other files that the car may have written to the drive since that may be where the corruption is. Either way afterwards the car will probably have to rewrite the metadata file and the song list will be back to a basic list until the car finishes writing all the data out. This will in the end fix this problem. Some dumb ass bug in the Honda software.🤬
@@verdier4006 Thanks. I think that is true. I'll just use my phone for now and continue to experiment with the SD cards.
