Well, bad news It won't let you down grade your firmware. I can't figure out any way to force it. Guess I am stuck with a non functional Android Auto until Honda comes up with another firmware that has a higher number. Anyone know a tech they could ask to see if there is a way to force a firmware change? What would you guys do now?

I just posted some TSBs in the main service bulliten thread that I stumbled across while purusing Honda's TSB repository. I'm reposting the following below since they're Infotainment related:

Service Bulletin 17-016

Popping or No Sound from Speakers

Service Bulletin 17-049
July 26, 2017
Audio Unit Display Beeps or Changes Screens by Itself
http://techinfo.honda.com/Rjanisis/pubs/SB/AH/A17-049/enu/A17-049.PDF



TSB 17-049 is particularly interesting since it suggests there's an additional software update for the touch display itself that's embedded in the USB updater sticks so many of us have purchased.

Besides, it's only $35 to order the drive. Compared to the cost of some engine parts, it's not exactly cost-prohibitive.

What website?

I got mine from Honda Parts Unlimited, although by now I believe it's available at other Honda parts sites as well.

I've tried ordering from them and another site and both of them cancelled my order because it was backordered. Haven't been able to order one.

Me too

Maybe that means a new update is coming. I sure hope so as 197.00 messed up my radio.

Do you all hate going to your dealers so much that you’d pay money for something they’d do for free?

Yes, because in my area, getting a dealer to do any non-safety related 'quality-of-life' TSB work for a software issue is like pulling teeth.

I could complain to Honda corporate to compel the dealership to comply, or hunt down another dealership to do it, but the amount of time wasted and back-and-forth involved..... for me, spending $35 on the USB update to do it myself is more than worth it.

For this specific thing I would rather pay for the USB and do the update myself. If there isn't a light flashing or a buzzer buzzing they just can't seem to understand what's wrong. This is easy enough that I can save the hassle of having to deal with the dealer and do it myself. Even if my issue remains unresolved I can at least do the update and see for myself vs wondering. It wouldn't surprise me if developer didn't include a change they made in the list of changes/fixes provided back to Honda.

Also many 2016 civics are out of warranty now. And the dealers cost 200$ just to update it. So it’s much cheaper to update yourself if you are not on warranty

Good morning everyone.

I recently installed the Honda Hack etc. I also just purchased the USB drive to do the update of the infotainment system.

Does the update remove the Honda Hack?

You guys need to learn from my experience thought- don't update the software unless it's really meant for your vehicle. I did that and now it's messed up and I can't go back. The radio will not let you flash to older versions, unless there is a trick I don't know about. I'm hoping that the Android auto issue with the 197 software is now a known bug that Honda may be fixing since people can't order the software updates now.
