[2016 Civic EX NA] Finally Video While Driving

[mikealanni]

SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH

Finally I found a way to bypass the restriction method and play video while driving
Anyone following these steps it total by his/her own risk and I'm not responsible to any issue might happen as I'm doing this for research purposes. for me it is working each time I'm doing it

1. Push your ignite button twice so you not be in accessory mode
2. Hold Bright power and menu until you see two choice click on the bottom one
3. Hold menu key to get to another menu
4. Choose vehicle model information then vehicle setting type and you will see three types
TBAA:Gr013 DA KC No 4DR
TBAA:Gr013 DA KA No 4DR (this is the default one in my car)
TBAA:Gr013 DA Kx No 4DR

You will need to choose
TBAA:Gr013 DA KC No 4DR (you need to make sure you are in empty space area as the GPS need to be locked after rebooting and also make sure you are not in accessory mode)
5. After the device reboot hold bright power and menu again and choose functional setup and then other
6. You will see operation restricted turn it off
7. Also enable Pandora and then back to home menu
8. Now you have system that can be modified couple things while driving like you can use the dial pad
9. Now phase two to watch videos
10. Open the internet browser and type about:debug
11. Then delete it and type file:/// and hit enter
12. You will see the file system files, scroll down and click on vendor then app folder
13. scroll down and you find WhitelistApService.apk file
14. NEVER NEVER NEVER click on any APK only WhitelistApService.apk (I WARN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
15. click on it and it will try to install then it fail
16. then back to the home screen and hold power till it asking for reboot. reboot your system and viola you can run browser and gallery to browse , watch you tube or videos

Might you need to turn off your lane camera as when ever you right signal it will stop your video

issues you may get with this method
App installer will not work
rear camera very rare can be delayed or lag

*** To revert this hack, then you need to go to setting then apps download section and you will see the white list service there then just uninstall it and you back to normal.. if it acting weird just reboot the unit


Now to things I figured it out

Any apk files that are android system files from version 4.2.2 it will fail with signature different from the one installed
AHA APK can be update it will not working good as it not design for car ( I got it from internet)
apklist.apk from Honda pilot it willing to install but it fail because the version that we have is newer (at least mine as it update to latest android version f190)
Any app you click on it will show gray install button but if you multitask and go to the browser and browse the path /data/data/usbtmp then you will see the file there and that path can install apk but it will fail again. what ever you do the file will delete from there.. i tried to unplugged the fuse and the file stayed there so I tried the to do the whitelistservice.apk that we did above as this will stop the service from running but looks the package installer call whielistlib and the lib check the signature too.

I tried to plug USB serial as I can see in the log android loading PL32XX driver and i change the USB from HOST to DEVICE from the hidden menu i got an Ethernet connection from the USB and I can see the internal sdcard not the system as it is MTP I think.

Rebooting the device and holding menu will get you in safe mode but it didn't help anything

Honda link when enabled it will open another port other than the 5000 (random) when you nmap for the HU IP

Tried most exploits on browser didn't work

Modified APK didn't working

I would we all work together and break the APK installing process.

Tried it on 2017 hatchback and it only has one choice of vehicle model.

Do you have restricted setting in the others menu?

Also you can continue to phase two but the problem you will face is whenever you need the keyboard the screen will lock but if you use USB flash to play video then it will work.


Is your HU made by Mitsubishi too?

I tried moving forward. It rebooted and when I went back to functional setup then other but it does not say operation restricted.... so I stopped it at that. Not sure who made our HU???

If you continue you will see in the app folder the company name with files ... Mine says Mitsubishi.. check yours if it is Mitsubishi then it might work if not then I don't know

 

[Syntek]

Awesome. Probably won't ever need this but good to know its doable. More interested on how to keep DSP flat permanently.

I get to this point then give up. Obviously the Asian version is different.

Usually it depend on locations ours three because it refer to state because some state didn't required to block video while driving...
You might try your and see which one will show the option operation restriction

At least you got choices!

This is an already known work around with several additional steps that are unnecessary. This method only works on non-touring trims.

No way, all credits goes to me only I found all this by myself and I looked all the internet and everywhere and couldn't found anything.... All steps are required too

 

[Menissalt]

My bad, the previous post I was referring to was actually yours!

 

[izzyC-EX]

The thread is useless without a solution for hatchbacks.

 

[mikealanni]

I spent 4 months to figure it out and also trying install apk too
