  1. 2019 Civic Si Head Unit: Hackable?

    Go for broke and get the pro version. You're not only going to get better features, you're also contributing to the cause, keeping the app up to date. ;-)

  2. 2019 Civic Si Head Unit: Hackable?

    Can anyone recommend a version of Viper4Android that I could use on the head unit? Does it require a whole bunch of things that the site says, or should the installation of the APK file just go smoothly? I'd like to enhance the quality of SiriusXM, but as that's a compressed audio stream...

  3. Does the Si have "Rev Hang"?

    Pretty sure it's not really "rev hang", it's rev matching for shifting. I had a WRX and it didn't have "rev hang" or rev matching - you had to be quick on the shift to do that. The fact that the revs stay higher when shifting means a smoother transition between gears, which I find to be a good...

  4. 2019 Civic Si Head Unit: Hackable?

    You're correct, I am a developer, but it's been ages since I've done anything Android-wise. I was thinking of writing some apps that can communicate with the driver's head unit (like Waze does with directions) to show more information about the car: ie. oil pressure, temperature, boost...

  5. 2019 Civic Si Head Unit: Hackable?

    Yup, all is working well. Not sure if I should install the Google Play services, as it said the head unit can become slow or unstable. So, I'll hold off for now. Having a problem getting Spotify to authenticate, but I'll keep trying. I've been looking for a list of "must install" apps for...

  6. 2019 Civic Si Head Unit: Hackable?

    Okay, so here's the scoop. If you reset your car radio to factory defaults while the car is in accessory mode, the car radio will assume that the car has been stolen, and is asking for an "anti-theft ID code" to reenable itself. You can clear this status by simply starting up the car and...

  7. 2019 Civic Si Head Unit: Hackable?

    Yeah, the dealer should have the serial number that I need (at the very least) so I can get the recovery pin. If not, I can take it to a local place in Round Rock and have it done. If they say it'll cost $1K to replace it, I'll say "take the car back" :D

  8. 2019 Civic Si Head Unit: Hackable?

    Well guys, I bricked it. I went into "Reset factory settings" to try and start over from scratch, and now it shows a keypad with a set of numbers. I cannot turn off the unit, cannot reboot it. I enter a number, and it says "Incorrect Pin". Oh well. I'm hoping I'm not out $1K for a new...

  9. 2019 Civic Si Head Unit: Hackable?

    Sounds good. Actually, got rid of my old Mazda 3 Lease, and got into a Civic lease. It's the electric blue color - my favorite color. Gonna baby this car, second Honda I've ever owned, don't miss the VTEC at all. I'll try through the Android settings instead of the Honda widget. I figured...

  10. 2019 Civic Si Head Unit: Hackable?

    Do I still need to put the device in Development mode? FWIW, my device is version 1.F1A3.90 ... not sure if this makes a difference. Got my car from Huggins Honda, BTW.

  11. 2019 Civic Si Head Unit: Hackable?

    Hi guys, I just bought a 2019 Civic Si this year - a few days ago, in fact, and I was thrilled to find out that it runs Android 4.2.2 ... very happy with my decision. (Amongst other things, this car is a blast to drive.) I was overjoyed when I learned I could hack the system and install the...
