The issue is that if you want to map the long press of a key to an application you lose the short press native function, for example if you want to map the long press of the "Audio" button to an app you installed, then you lose the ability to short press the button to bring up the "Audio" function. I tried a few ideas to work around this issue but they didn't work. Then I thought that if there was an app you could install that would start the "Audio" function then you could assign the short key press to that app and regain the native function, so I learned how to write an app for Android that would do that. It worked so I then wrote apps for the "Phone" and "Map" buttons. Each app just launches the built in function (Android terminology is "Activity") and then exits. I also did an app to launch the eco trip computer (Info->Trip Computer), and the wallpaper clock (Info->Clock/Wallpaper). These are for cars with the Display Audio system, and the launchMap app is for models that have the built in Garmin navigation system. And of course use at your own risk. You can also disable the restore last function in Honda Hack (which I found doesn't work that well), and select one of these apps to run at startup if you always want to start in one of the corresponding functions.
