Infotainment software update?

[BarracksSi]

I found this one that seems to imply it’s for everything but the hatch.
Is there a newer one that works on the Si? This ones already over a year old.

The newer one that talks about the hatchback is A18-001 and is linked farther back in an earlier post (although the link may have expired).

Here's the PDF for the hatch. I forget if there's one for the Si.

I have a 2018 Civic EX, is there an update available for my system? Or is it already on the latest version from the factory since it is the 2018?

So trip thru chicago and back and no CarPlay disconnects. Only glitch was if I stopped somewhere and shut the car off with the phone plugged in the song info in the speedometer area didn’t change when I started the car again. iPhoneX iOS 11.4.

My 18-001 update USB should be here tomorrow. Installing it on a 2016 EX-T as well. I'll report back with my findings.

Do they end up coming with an instruction sheet or any kind of info? Be interesting to see if they say what models it is actually for.

That info is posted a few posts up. There's a link.

I purchased the SB 18-001 flash drive (07AAU-TGGA1A0) and updated my 2017 Civic EX-T (non-hatchback) from 1.F191.59 to 1.F197.00

The update took less than 10 minutes. Previously, I was having random CarPlay disconnects. I originally thought it was my lightning cable but changing that out didn't fix anything. I have only driven twice since updating, about 2 hours total, but I have not seen any negative impact since updating.

The update appears to be a single ~470MB SWUpdate.mdt file stored on a 4GB FAT32 formatted USB drive.

CarPlay has been rock solid for me since loading this update. I've had no more random constant disconnects. It's too bad Android Auto doesn't work as far as music goes... but I can live with that for a stable CarPlay experience. I was expecting this kind of reliability when I bought the car a few years ago. It will be a real shame if Honda never releases an official TSB/update for the 2016's. The problems with CarPlay at least for me fall squarely on Honda... not my phone, cable, head unit hardware etc... The fixes they did in A18 clearly resolved my issues (and then some... lane watch camera no longer switches to a black screen while using CarPlay, YAY!).

I can now confirm that the file that is on the USB from Honda can be copied to another USB drive and installed on the radio.

Edit: One sec shrinking the photos...

I've been looking to get an update for my '16 Sedan Touring, but every time I take it in for a TSB fix or something, they'll claim that the problem couldn't be replicated or that the radio is too new for an update. Really interested if I can just do it myself.

Save yourself $30+
You can download the SB 18-001 update and put it on the root of a FAT32 USB drive: https://mega.nz/#!3GZz3LwD!YN_y2_YUItfWoHM4alHVMR3vBeJ95HZ7pZfLjKq9xM0

Thanks to carrsteven for testing it on another flash drive.

EDIT:
Disclaimer: This is for the 5-door hatchback. Some users have reported that Android Auto no longer works after using this update. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Just put the SwUpdate.mdt file on a USB thumb drive and "go"?

This 18-001 is fully compatible with all Head units including my 2016 sedan Touring?

I updated my 2016 EX-T yesterday. Running smoothly with Carplay. No issues so far.

carrsteven and ShakenPuma, that's friggin' outstanding. Thanks for taking the chance and doing the upload.

Looks like I should also hang out on a CR-V forum in case my wife's CR-V gets similar updates.
