2unique Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) So I went along and after a few minutes conversation I went along with a Y-Socket which bypasses the ebrake and a HDMI dongle which allows smart view (built in to most modern Androids) to connect to the screen. Whatever sound your phone makes and what shows on screen is mirrored exactly on the Civic screen by selecting audio source HDMI. The Y socket is completely hidden behind the head unit so if you pull out the hdmi/usb cable would be unseen however the fact that menu functions are available with the e-brake disengaged it would be fairly easy to discern that one is connected. Insurance questions arise. Installation and removal however takes about 10 minutes. On the way home i played a youtube video (unnecessary) and then had my route shown by google maps. I was able to see notifications pop up but didn't interact with them. Note you cannot use touchscreen features that are phone based on the Civic screen but can by picking up the phone. Connection is via HDMI port and power is supplied by the USB socket so you need to use the alternative USB in the centre console to power your phone. I paid 2,300 baht and his shop is in Lamchabaeng. I have today seen more ads for this product popping up on honda civic hatchback thailand facebook page and other.

Hang on ACE...It was bought for MrsJ because she liked it and it had the full quota of air bags. I was allowed, just now, to drive it back from Sattahip ... Had it in Cruise Control as much as possible and doing 100Km/Hr for most of the journey. Made four stops. Stops 1 and 2 to wee Stop 3 to load up the Easy Pass Tag Stop 4 to collect the insurance doc from Honda and some tickets for the Motor Show The Cruise control did feel to surge a little bit going up those 'humps' on the Motorway...the ones where a lot of pratts slow down... Below is the fuel consumption indicated over the 193.3Kms. It did peak at 20Km/Ltr before hitting traffic at the BK end of Route7 and Chaengwattana Road.. 3:51 is the time when I took the photo and not the journey time ... Fuel was E20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2unique Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) Sorry about the camera shake was filming one handed with a heavy surface pro 4... Basically you turn off WIFI on phone, select HDMI as the source, goto Smart View on phone and away you go. I have used a simple USB splitter so I can power both phone and the HDMI WIFI Dongle at the same time. Note Bluetooth will still activate and override HDMI to answer calls etc as normal. That is to say, your normal method of receiving calls won't be changed to the mirror screen - which is great. Also dimming the phone does not dim the output on the Civic screen, so you can dim the phone and stash it underneath. And final note - You must have installed a YSocket and HDMI Dongle as per my previous post Edited March 28, 2017 by 2unique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Guns Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 I use the same mirrorcast system on my 2016 Ford Everest. The only difference is it operates wirelessly on the Everest. The only problem is google maps freezing from time to time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jai Dee Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Bangkok 2017: Honda Civic Hatchback with Modulo kit There are two stars at the Honda’s 2017 Bangkok International Motor Show stand, the all-new Honda CR-V and the Honda Civic Hatchback. We’ve showed you live galleries of both cars, and the Modulo-kitted CR-V, so here’s the missing piece – the Civic Hatch fully decked out in Modulo accessories. Honda Thailand picked a Crystal Black Pearl Civic Hatch as model, and orange accents for the Modulo bits. The lower body kit includes a extensions to the front lip, side skirts and rear lip – all in orange here. In this sporty hatch’s case, the standard car already has the lips – Modulo adds another layer. There’s also a more prominent wing at the top of the hatch, one that juts on a little at the sides. The lower wing, which joins the tail lamps, are unchanged. The Modulo catalogue also has unique 17-inch rims paired with tyres that similarly sized to the stock car – 215/50. You’ll also find chrome trim on the wing mirrors and just ahead of the A pillars, on the front wings. Illuminated door sill plates with the Civic logo, too, that’s a must! Read the full story here.

2unique Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I got the led scuff plates or door sills free by asking firmly at booking. Only the front doors are lighted. Price in Modulo catalogue 3900 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect That is odd ... all the HB's that I have seen had YOKO's. The RS at the Motor Show had B/S as ours did, so I assumed that Honda saved all the YOKO's for the HB. Maybe they have run out due to demand.

Don't they leave the factory with tires? And why bother changing them for the motorshow? It's only TV'ers that notice. I bet the Thai buyers wouldn't give it a second look. After all, they plonk down the money even with a test drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry ...my comment was a little too subtle/flippant.....I was actually referring to JoeW saying.. and thats a fact. But in my case Honda polished over dirty paintwork and we had to lightly compound the whole car to get it clean before applying the glass coat.

So I still want to know if Android Auto app is pre-installed on the Civic's device and if it works.I tried that and it said not compatible with my device S7 Edge. I believe Android Auto is in there however it has never recognized my smartphone. Hard to test if it's the car or phone when cannot get A Auto on phone.I've tried many different ways to pair including using my home Wi-Fi various miracast apps etc. I can find nothing in Thai forums or Facebook that suggest a workaround however this was early in the hatchback's release but not in the sedan's cycle.If you can find a way to get phone on screen and use the touchscreen of the civic please share.
