thanks, I just bought a 2016 Honda CRV EX and as I was trying to get Honda Link to work, after an hour of trying to make it work I found out that is not made for Androids, so I watched your video and followed your instructions, purchased the Amazon fire tv stick and it works even better, I can watch Netflix and all the videos i have in my Amazon cloud. Thank you
Hi Sergio, Can you please let me know if we get sound as well or only display in the car screen? I too purchased recently CRV-EX and was trying to use maps form this. I have both Android and iPhone devices, will this be the best way to try it out than with honda-iOS cables?
I just bought the Amazon fire TV stick and it works perfectly. I just had to setup the Amazon stick with my Amazon account to get a code and make it work. Thanks
After turning off DD VSP error in my Honda Civic 2015 Touring and ensuring my Samsung S22 screen was properly mirrored in the car display unit while the car was parked.. My phone screen continues to mirror after I engage into D dirve, but as soon as the car picks up speed, the image mirroring disappears from the car Display unit and I get a message "HDMI in". Have you come acroos such an issue before?
Will this work with the newer fire stick with voice remote? You say it's pretty much useless. Does it mean we don't need the extras, or that it won't work if we had it? Someone reviewer on Amazon said "The huge difference is you cannot calibrate screen size with this new stick! Amazon really dropped the ball by not putting that feature in with this new stick! Makes no sense. Many older tvs cannot shrink screen on their own to make the edges of the screen correct. Kind of a deal breaker for me"
Any idea if it's possible to mirror your phone the same way on the i-mid of a 2016 Civic LX using some combo of USB to HDMI adapter and a micro USB to HDMI MHL adapter?
Jason Gomez Thank you. Does the Fire stick have GPS? Have you ever tried using Google Maps for navigation using the Fire stick? I was thinking about installing Android Auto on a Fire stick and using it as media player and navigation in my Honda, connected to my mobile phone via WiFi hotspot. Will that work?
Hey amazingly helpful i just wanted to know will this work in the newer Honda 2018 Hrv exl i have the hmdi port n USB i really appreciate any help you can offer please let me know thanks
Hey Jason ✋ I know this is an order video I have a 2018 crv do you think the same applys for it? I've seen a few videos where they connect with a root code 🙏
What happens when the phone screen goes to sleep? will it continue to show the screen in sleep mode? or will it continue to show the lock screen and eventually blank off screen? I know if a movie is playing or the GPS is active then the phone screen will not go to sleep but what about for instance you're playing spotify (where the screen will go to sleep)?
sophie huot good question the Roku stick would most likely work but I believe like the Chromecast it's going to need a constant wifi/hotspot. I could be wrong about this because I don't have a Roku to test. Do some research on it and see if it is compatible with your phone, does it even mirror/screen capture?
Jason Gomez cool thanks man. I appreciate your quick reply. I'll exchange my Chromecast with the stick. To be sure, the stick can mirror without WiFi/data right?
yup you don't need any wifi on the amazon fire stick to use the mirror capability. if you do use Hotspot on the firestick you will be able to obviously use all apps which is really nice to have in the car.
+sophie huot it won't work without internet. The fire stick is the only device that will mirror without the use of Wi-Fi. You can use the Google chrome cast but you will have to use hotspot constantly.
ok...thanks for your response...i have a LG 3 phone and i dont have mirrorcast...i guess i'll have to get a stick...i ckecked on amazon and a bit expensive in canada...but i will keep on looking!
Ok - I bought the Amazon TV firestick, Plugged it into my HDMI on our 2015 Honda Civic EX-L. Amazon apps came on the screen, but the phone wanted me to enter a password to connect to the Stick. Is there a default password?
+Jonathan Franzel no there shouldnt be a password. But as far as I know when a password is required it will pop up on the amazon screen with a code and the you would enter that.
Thank you Jason! Im off to buy a fire stick first. My android phone doesn't have screen mirroring HOWEVER my Android WiFi tablet has the screen mirroring option. So if I Hotspot my tablet I should be able to mirror right (my ultimate goal was the Waze app)
I tested with an Amazon Fire stick and yes, the videos played while in motion. I wasn't able to test with the Waze GPS as I left my tablet at home. But all I can say is YAY! this will do for now until I can afford to get the Honda with Android Auto several years from now!
I know this is a older video but does anyone know if I just disable the VSP error and I plug my phone into the hdmi will it still bypass the screen cutting off or do I have to have a mirroring device like the fire stick
Bought the Firestick. I see the APPS on the touchscreen (through WIFI). Cannot mirror my Nexus 5X to the touchscreen. Undeer "cast" on my phone, it shows no nearby devices...
Rick Aaron if I am understanding you correctly you're telling me that the fire-stick sees your phone when there's Wi-Fi but when it's off it does not see it?
dont think so it only works with internet. You would have to use hotspot at all times. If data isnt a problem then ya go ahead but with this method using the fire tv stick its 100% solid at all times
Dregohard609 iPhones should work better through another method! I think it has to do with a lightning cable that converts to HDMI. Once you are able to cast your screen, you can follow this guy's instruction on bypassing the e brake.
good question im not sure but the amazon tv fire stick can have kodi and it and watch whatever youd like as far as movies and tv shows for free forever
Jason Gomez thanx for your reply it's kind of BS that honda didn't just include something as simple as a hdmi port in such a expensive vehicle. apparently on the EXL trim level and up. but ca'mon!! really
ERON it's probably because the HRV'S debut was in 2016 .the launch of any all new vehicle they tend to throw in all the bells and whistles . I also didn't get an
Jat Seong Chiang yes in a way, the chromecast won't really work unless it has Internet completely. so unless you have hot spot running though the chromecast at all times then it won't function correctly
But you will be able to cast many things to chrome cast like youtube, hot star, and many more and even chromecast has screen mirroring facility. I feel chrome cast is better option compared to fire stick
And also your phone needs to have mirroring capability to work with fire stick.. where as the same is not needed when you are using with chrome cast ..
