Hello, I'm new here and new to owning a new to me 2019 civic type r. After owning this car for 2 months so far, I'm seriously thinking of changing out the infotainment system. The honda navigation leaves much to be desired after being so use to goggle maps.
I've hondahacked the infotainment system and installed Google maps which kind of works but the lag is so tremendous that the GPS is about a block and a half behind again making use of GPS unbearable when I keep missing turns.
So I'm thinking if it's worth it to upgrade to an aftermarket android headunit. Im not really bothered by the sound quality, I just want more speed and functionality of a real android unit. I can live without certain things.
Here's the question. What does the oem unit actually control? Auto head lights? Climate control? Remote fuctions? Front and side camera is a given. But let's say I've setup the remote to auto lock by distance. Will it retain that memory when the oem system is disconnected with a after market system in its place?
So far from my searches I've found that
Climate control can be retained by canbus.
Steering wheel buttons can be retained by canbus.
Rear camera can be retained with active lines.
Side camera can be retained
Dashboard boost gauge will no longer be there.
Oil life/maintenance will no longer be there.
Anyone have anything to add for what can be retained or what definitely not be retained with an aftermarket android system?
