I wanted to thank you for your no-nonsense instructional posts. I updated my 2019 Accord Hybrid Touring following your instructions without issue. I also did 75% of the trunk pistons mod. Only need to install the passenger side top connection and tighten everything down.
I hope they add a option for a digital speedometer in mph for us vheicles, and kph for respective countries. As of right now the digital speedometer only shows the opposite of what your physical speedometer unit is. Ie. US cars have a physical speedometer in mph and the digital speedometer is only kph.
I wish Honda would get it together and fix Honda Link. Thanks for the video! I downloaded the update yesterday but didn’t install it until I left for work this morning.
Thanks for the vid! I’m going to still continue to watch your content. Missing my sport. First Toyota ever. Just purchased a Camry XSE. Lol maybe in the future you can pick one up and continue with that model.
Thanks so much man. That means a lot. Those Camrys are sweet. I’ve seen them. I just have always had Honda’s and stick with them. You can go wrong with Honda or Toyota in my honest opinion. 👍🏻
Installed the update on my 2018 2.0 Sport and haven't had any connection issues since, but did experience a spontaneous reboot today, so that problem's still there ☹️
Im having the same issue on my 2018 2.0. My car gives this electrical screech then my radio reboots. Ofcourse Im driving so I cant ever catch it to get it on video.
My 2019 Touring 2.0 says up to date and has a different version than any listed on the paper, but a number below the newest listed. Mine is 18AA-1945-001. Anyone else have this?
Thank you, That was an informative post. I am keeping it to update now. Have you ever used the install app application in the infotainment system? If yes can you make video of which apps and how we can install. Curious about that app.
Thanks man. That app only allows what’s preloaded to be put on the screen. I’ve gone through it and it allows different apps but nothing that’s really important. Just like a calendar and such.
Before when you plug in usb, app will automatically pop up on infotainment system. Now, it does nothing. It says "device not support/recognized". It's a Galaxy S9+ btw.
Mine has done that before. What I did was go into the setting in the car and totally delete the phone and then resync it. I even went into the phone and deleted the car from the Bluetooth. It worked for me. Sometimes it has glitches.
so how does the update happen? is it over the air like tesla? how did it know there was a update? how does it connect over the air to tell you theres a update?
@Honda Jon cool thanks! I got a hooked up. 2018 sport 1.5 pearl white, 40k miles, $10,000 so I jumped on it. With gas going through the roof, driving my hummer Is not a option. So I'm looking up how to videos so I can hook up my Honda. Thank you for the awesome content.
It could be yours isn’t in need of it. I know honda rolls these out based on build dates. Do you have HondaLink app on your phone? Because that will tell you if you need the update
@@herbertwoodbery5471 Did it indicate you had an update to be installed? If not, you may need to check on/off to see if it's been pushed out to you yet. I know for me, some other people on another forum said they had received an update and I had not yet. Mine just showed up today.
I have a 2018 without the touch screen and cannot get my radio to play music through the blue tooth. Any chance you know how to fix this on a non touchscreen?
That I’m Not sure. Is there an app on your screen that said system update? If so then yes. I would think honda would allow all models to get over the air updates since they all will eventually have some sort of glitch
It doesn't seem to work on LX. I have one with a shitier display pre-installed. No update option. Entirely different type of display. Can't get system info file. No capability to update and dealer won't respond to calls. I'm considering filing a complaint.
Did anyone deal with getting an update notification then pressing the update and the screen freezes and stays frozen? Not quite sure what to do its been two days.
You know that’s a great question. Haven’t even tried it. I’m going to be so mad if it doesn’t work. I’ll check it out and posy a quick video of the results. Fingers crossed 🤞
@@HondaJon We waited at least 30 minutes and nothing happened. I am afraid that the Accord was not correctly connected to wifi but don't know how to check this. I appreciate your reply.
@@HondaJon Sounds good. I will try that tomorrow. Hopefully that will reset it. I would settle for just not installing the update if I could only use my touchscreen again. I can't believe I made it completely inoperable by just trying to do the update. Thanks again for your help.
Honda Jon on my 18 accord ex I can change the preset to a new one, can change a mix or replace it with a new mix or station but cannot delete or remove entirely.
Honda Jon a lot of cars, even my old Passat let you remove presets and they go back to the default blank or unassigned. With the seasonal channels on sirusxm it was nice to remove them once the channel changed.
Honda rolls out updates based on build dates. If yours has any issues it would be possible that they roll another one out soon. They usually batch them
Honda's have nothing but problems now.. had Honda's since 1984.. as generations pass they get worst.. I have 2016 touring , had front end vibration above 65, head unit out 3 times, windshield moldings loose, sunroof sits higher on drivers, honda collision system went out completely just being parked. no cruise, Lane assist etc.. only reason I've kept it after fixing problems except collision system is the V6.. I'll never buy another Honda..

Thanks man. I appreciate the kind words. I do appreciate that. Nice car by the way. 👍🏻
Link to document from Honda with release notes detailing what is fixed: owners.honda.com/Documentum/ota/2019_Accord_Sedan.pdf
Thank you so much 😊

As of right now the digital speedometer only shows the opposite of what your physical speedometer unit is. Ie. US cars have a physical speedometer in mph and the digital speedometer is only kph.
That would be awesome. You never know.
Touring models have digital speedometer display in the HUD in the US.
Rodney Remington what year?
@@Kelvin00 I have a 2020 so I can only speak for that.
Rodney Remington at least you guys have it. I would pay several hundred for them to put it on my car
I wish Honda would get it together and fix Honda Link. Thanks for the video! I downloaded the update yesterday but didn’t install it until I left for work this morning.
Nice. Yeah I agree. The honda link is so so. Very glitchy.
Honda Jon you can say that again!
Did mine a couple days ago. Thanks. Wasn’t sure what it updated.
Nice. Yeah hopefully it actually fixes what they say. 👍🏻
Thanks for the vid! I’m going to still continue to watch your content. Missing my sport. First Toyota ever. Just purchased a Camry XSE. Lol maybe in the future you can pick one up and continue with that model.

Installed the update on my 2018 2.0 Sport and haven't had any connection issues since, but did experience a spontaneous reboot today, so that problem's still there ☹️
Once in a while mine will do that too. Even our pilot once in a while. Little glitch.
Im having the same issue on my 2018 2.0. My car gives this electrical screech then my radio reboots. Ofcourse Im driving so I cant ever catch it to get it on video.
Thanks. Took less than 5 minutes using WIFI in my garage.
Nice. I’ve heard it actually fixes some issues too
I checked my Accord Sport 2.0 and it says up to date . So i guess its good...
Nice. 👍🏻. It takes Honda awhile to get these updates out.
This worked! Thanks Jon.
Awesome. It’s nice when they make
These over the air fixes so we can avoid the dealership.
Thanks buddy. Good looking out.
Anytime man.
Android Auto would also disconnect. Hopefully this update on my '19 will fix that.
Where did you purchase the screen protector from please ?
From amazon. I have a video on it. It’s great. 👍🏻
My 2019 Touring 2.0 says up to date and has a different version than any listed on the paper, but a number below the newest listed. Mine is 18AA-1945-001. Anyone else have this?
Same car, same problem.
same software on my car also. i contacted honda they said it up to date.
Love u bro
Thank you!
Of course. 👊🏼

@@HondaJon thank you for replying.
Does anyone know what to do for a 2018 Honda Accord LX base model with an infotainment system that is not touch screen
Did you ever figure it out?
@@bluenails956 no I didn't
Hey Honda Jon, can you please tell me how to connect android auto? It did before and now it dosen't. Thanks. And love all your vids!
Thanks man. It should be in the settings. Did you click the settings icon on the screen?
Before when you plug in usb, app will automatically pop up on infotainment system. Now, it does nothing. It says "device not support/recognized". It's a Galaxy S9+ btw.
Mine has done that before. What I did was go into the setting in the car and totally delete the phone and then resync it. I even went into the phone and deleted the car from the Bluetooth. It worked for me. Sometimes it has glitches.
Ok well, apparently my phone was disabled from android auto and that fixed the problem. Thanks again Jon and for quickly responding back 👍
Nice. Anytime man. I know it’s frustrating when it doesn’t work as it should. Take care.
so how does the update happen? is it over the air like tesla? how did it know there was a update? how does it connect over the air to tell you theres a update?
Yeah it’s over the air. Just connect to your wifi at home and it will update.
@Honda Jon cool thanks! I got a hooked up. 2018 sport 1.5 pearl white, 40k miles, $10,000 so I jumped on it. With gas going through the roof, driving my hummer Is not a option. So I'm looking up how to videos so I can hook up my Honda. Thank you for the awesome content.
Awesome man. I agree. Gas is insane. Here it’s $5.50 for regular 😯.
is there such way to connect your android phone to the car wirelessly for android auto video?
That I don’t think so. If so it would drain the battery and it would be glitchy I would think.
Thanks
Even after switching Power Mode to on, I still don't have the option to install the update. What would be causing this issue?
It could be yours isn’t in need of it. I know honda rolls these out based on build dates. Do you have HondaLink app on your phone? Because that will tell you if you need the update
same here no option for a soft ware update... screen blacking out since the last 2 days
Mine is stuck on 100% installing what do I do ?
I did it last night. My phone seems to be connecting on the first try now.
Awesome. Hopefully it patched a few holes.
Mine only took a couple minutes to update. Should be version: 18AA-2071-001 when done
Nice. It’s awesome how you can do it over the air now.
I have build number 18aa-1945-001 but it is telling me my system is up to date when I try to download?
@@herbertwoodbery5471 Did it indicate you had an update to be installed? If not, you may need to check on/off to see if it's been pushed out to you yet. I know for me, some other people on another forum said they had received an update and I had not yet. Mine just showed up today.
Hey Jon!...
Just did my 19 Accord Sport... we’ll see if they cleaned up the glitches.
Anybody have a fix for the climate control dysfunctions yet?
I have a 2018 without the touch screen and cannot get my radio to play music through the blue tooth. Any chance you know how to fix this on a non touchscreen?
There should definitely be a setting. You have to make sure you allow your phone to pair with it. Should be the same as the touchscreen models
Handsfree link has to work to be able to remove prvious devices on the 2018 LX model. It's 2021 and my dealer has no fix. Avoid the LX lemon. Lol
My backup camera has been like a rainbow greenish lately why just one day it happen what can it be ? Can I update it
I don’t think so. I would make sure the connection is good between the wire harness and camera
@@HondaJon I’ll give it a look if not I’ll let the dealer know next time I’m around there . Thanks for the response
No problem 👍🏻
Thanks Jon!
Anytime man 👊🏼
Honda Jon I just checked my car and the update is not available yet. I think Canadian models are yet to receive one...
Either that or it already has it. Someone else mentioned their car is already updated and they too live in Canada
That’s wierd ..My car was in storage for winter.. I will check with my local dealer when this pandemic is over! It’s just getting worse day by day...
I hear ya. It is. Stay safe man. 👊🏼
Do you have to connect to WiFi to update?
No. You can plug your phone in I believe to do it but it’s easier over WiFi.
I did the software update and my screen its bedn frozen on the "Installing" for two days now.... I cant listen to the radio or anything. Its frozen
That’s a very common thing. Simply disconnect the battery for 30 minutes and you’ll be all good.
Any hack to watch video on the screen by using our phone or usb connection yet? I feel like the civic have way better options on the screen
If you have a jailbroken iphone I know you can using carbridge app. I’ve seen people doing that.
@@HondaJon damn I have a Samsung Galaxy Note what options I have?
Is this for the LX?
That’s I’m not sure. Do you have an app on the screen that says system update? If so I would definitely check. It didn’t specify.
I m still waiting for the Update here for my Sports 1.5 2018
#Honda Jon how can i play a Video on this System
You have to have a jailbroken phone. Then you can get an app that allows that.
@@HondaJon i m a Android user
Ok. That I’m not too sure. I think there’s a video online of someone doing it. 👍🏻
Hey Honda Jon, does this work for The LX too?
That I’m
Not sure. Is there an app on your screen that said system update? If so then yes. I would think honda would allow all models to get over the air updates since they all will eventually have some sort of glitch
@@HondaJon No I don't have an app that says system update. Oh Okay.. Thank You
No problem. You probably have less problems. I sometimes want less tech since there always seems to be issues the “fancier” you go
It doesn't seem to work on LX. I have one with a shitier display pre-installed. No update option. Entirely different type of display. Can't get system info file. No capability to update and dealer won't respond to calls. I'm considering filing a complaint.
is there a way you can download it on usb. i cant find the link .
If it’s not on yours then Honda didn’t include it in the update. Sometimes they roll out new updates later
My screen is stuck on installation complete 100% but I can’t get out of that . I’ve tried restarting my car nothing has worked
You’ll have to disconnect the battery for 10 minutes. That will help.
@@HondaJon thank you 😀
No problem
Did anyone deal with getting an update notification then pressing the update and the screen freezes and stays frozen? Not quite sure what to do its been two days.
Do you think this will mess with my remote start hack? I know Honda has to know about it by now and I'd hate to have this patched.
You know that’s a great question. Haven’t even tried it. I’m going to be so mad if it doesn’t work. I’ll check it out and posy a quick video of the results. Fingers crossed 🤞
Any update on this?? I don't want to do the update if it messes with that because it's the best!!
I did the update but it haven't fix the screen randomly restart.
That’s a bummer. Seems the more advanced things get the more issues that arise too.
My car play kept goin off.. i replaced the wire and it’s been fine ever since
Nice.
When I try to do this, my 2019 Accord hangs at the Installing 100% screen. Any ideas?
How long does it wait there? I know it can take up to 5 minutes to move past it.
@@HondaJon We waited at least 30 minutes and nothing happened. I am afraid that the Accord was not correctly connected to wifi but don't know how to check this. I appreciate your reply.
I would try disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes. It should allow you to try this all over again. It definitely shouldn’t take that long.
@@HondaJon Sounds good. I will try that tomorrow. Hopefully that will reset it. I would settle for just not installing the update if I could only use my touchscreen again. I can't believe I made it completely inoperable by just trying to do the update. Thanks again for your help.
It should fix it. Let me know.
Is this for the 2018 only? Or is it for the 2019 too
The paper says 2018 but I would definitely go to the software update app on your screen and see if there’s u update. If so it will be on there 👊🏼
I just did it on my 2019. No problems.
My 2019 said “your system is up to date.” Would it have downloaded automatically?
I believe it probably was running a different version from the factory. Shows you how long it takes for these releases.
Maybe.. bought it February 2019.
Do I need wifi to download this??
It’s much easier if you do. I think you can plug in your phone and do it that way with the data.
Thanks man
Anytime man
My car is stuck on “loading app settings”. Anyone know how to fix this?
Have you tried restarting the car?
Honda Jon yes several times. I ended up doing factory reset under settings to get it to go away. It didn’t work for me somehow.
Still cannot delete preset/favorites...
Really? You mean you can’t change what you already have as a preset?
Honda Jon on my 18 accord ex I can change the preset to a new one, can change a mix or replace it with a new mix or station but cannot delete or remove entirely.
Ok. I never knew you could delete one entirely
Honda Jon a lot of cars, even my old Passat let you remove presets and they go back to the default blank or unassigned. With the seasonal channels on sirusxm it was nice to remove them once the channel changed.
I feel ya. That would be nice. Personally I don’t remember the last time I used them. As soon as I get in my car it pairs automatically with Pandora.
I haven't got the update yet
That’s good. Maybe yours wasn’t effected. It said it was only being pushed to units that were effected.
@@HondaJon ohh is it
Beacuse i on the same os frm start
Honda rolls out updates based on build dates. If yours has any issues it would be possible that they roll another one out soon. They usually batch them
@@HondaJon ohh kk
Would have helped if the entire video had been done in your garage. 😅😅
