Hey guys,

I have been seeing some negative feedback on the CivicX's infotainment system. Basically all seems to be related to how the system integrates with your smartphone.
The issues I have been reading about are pretty much the same as we have with 2 of our vehicles with smartphone and bluetooth integration. We have just given up with both vehicles, and except for long drives, we rely on USB memory stick playback of our personal MP3's, which in both cars is bug-free.

Can any of you who have experience with the new CivicX confirm if the new infotainment system is basically bug-free when NOT utilizing a smartphone?

I would say Honda released this knowing there were significant problems:

From the Owners Manual p.236
1 To use apps or widgets
Select and hold a selected app or widget to add that
app’s or widget’s shortcut on the home screen.
Pre-installed apps may not start up normally. If this
occurs, you need to reset the system.
2 Defaulting All the Settings P. 332
If you perform Factory Data Reset, it may reset all
the settings to their factory default.
2 Defaulting All the Settings P. 332
In case those apps still do not startup normally even
after Factory Data Reset, contact your dealer.
There is a possibility that a browser is shut down in
the situation of the use. In that situation, the screen
will return to before the browser startup.

You can delete user installed apps by the following
procedure.
1. Select .
2. Select Settings.
3. Select System.
4. Select the Others tab.
5. Select Detail Information.
6. Select an App that you want to delete.
7. Select Delete.
Pre-installed apps cannot be deleted​

Why are you spamming the same comment across multiple threads?
It's not spamming, it's helpful information why are you so angry and confrontational?

Your reply doesn't answer the OP's question at all. As for your personal attack against me, I am only concerned with the quality and usefulness of this site. If users have to wade through pages of anecdotal chum that doesn't help anyone.

It IS helpful to let people know there is a smart phone that works with the system. Your attacking me doesn't answer anyone's question either. Go take your anger issues out on someone else

Re-read the first post and then tell me how helpful your anecdote is in answering the question.
