4. Audio & V ideo playback 
 
Q: Why can I not browse through all albums / songs etc. when using Bluetooth 
audio?   
A: This functionality is controlled by the phone that is connected.  Some phones 
allow for folder, album, track searching through Bluetooth audio, some phones limit 
the amount of actions possible down to only playing one album. Please check the 
Bluetooth Audio protocol on the phone.

Q: Why is the volume very low when I play songs through Bluetooth audio? 
A: The volume of the Bluetooth audio playback is primarily governed by the phone 
volume setting.  Therefore, if the phone volume is low, the vehicle volume settings 
must be increased significantly to hear sound.    
 
Q: How do I safely disconnect my USB device? 
A: The Honda USB system allows for USB devices to be disconnected safely without 
performing any special disconnection actions.  Therefore, it is safe to just remove 
USB devices at any time. 
 
Q: I have two USB storage devices connected (not iPod), but can only access files 
from one of them. How can I change to the other device? 
A:  It is not possible to change between 2 USB storage devices through the Audio 
source menu.  This action can only be performed by the following sequence: Audio > 
USB > Menu > USB Device change.  The other USB device will now play. 
 
Q: I have two phones connected via Bluetooth. How can I change the audio source 
from phone A to phone B? 
A: To perform this change the Audio Source must be on BTA (Bluetooth Audio). Then 
perform the following sequence: HOME > Settings > Audio > Connect Audio, select 
the phone from the list that you wish to be connected for BTA. 
 
Q: How do I save and find my radio pre-set stations easily? 
A: The radio pre-set screen can be easily accessed by touching the screen above the 
line when on the audio screen.  The radio pre-set screen can be closed by touching 
above the line. 
 
To save a pre-set station press and hold a row, to listen to a station select it by a 
quick press. The same is also true to access in to USB folders etc. (example below)

Q: Why is the list of all DAB stations / Services not in alphabetical order? 
A: DAB stations are listed alphabetically within their respective Ensembles.  When 
the ‘All Ensemble’ list is selected DAB Stations are listed alphabetically in order of the 
Ensemble to which they belong (e.g. National, Oxford, W Wilts etc.). 
 
Q: Why are some CD tracks labelled as “No Info”? 
A: The Gracenotes feature is no longer supported by the audio unit; therefore, CD’s 
that do not contain track information will be displayed as ‘No Info’ on the display 
against each track number.  
 
Q: Why is the track / album / song position not remembered when I change from 
one USB port to another? 
A:  Although there are 2 USB ports for 2 devices, the Honda Connect unit only as one 
USB audio source.  Therefore, when the source is changed from one USB devices to 
another, it is as though the device has been changed.  Therefore, playback is started 
from track 1, folder 1. 
 
Q: When I have a Mirrorlink connection why can I no longer hear Bluetooth audio 
playback? 
A:  Unfortunately this is a characteristic of some phones.  The audio playback is 
diverted within the phone to support Mirrorlink.  To reinstate audio playback via 
Bluetooth either, change the USB connection settings within the phone to not 
support Mirrorlink, or disconnect the phone from the USB cable. Once the Mirrorlink 
connection has been stopped, the phone will divert audio output back to Bluetooth 
audio. 
 
Q: Can I check remaining USB device capacity when it is connected to the system? 
A:  Yes, USB device capacity information can be viewed through the following route 
sequence: Home -> Info -> Menu -> System/Device Information ->USB Device 
Information. 
 
Q: If a “USB Error” message appears on the screen and the device (iPod / iPhone) 
stops playing music when connected via the USB cable, what do I do? 
 
A: Press and hold the power button for more than 10 seconds to reboot the unit.

Q:  How can I switch on / off the TA (Traffic Announcement) ?

If you want to turn the TA feature ON / OFF, this can be done from the Audio RDS

A: The navigation voice guidance volume can be changed in the Honda Connect Main 
Settings Menu: Settings > System > Volume

Q:  Why when Navigation guidance voice volume is set to 0 (Zero), does the system 
still mute the audio from the driver speaker for attempted guidance? 
A:  As the Navigation guidance has not been muted, the system still behaves as 
though a voice guidance is required by muting audio playback from the driver’s door 
speaker, If no voice guidance is required then the mute button on the map screen 
should be used.

Q: On my previous Honda vehicle the Navigation system gave me Turn by Turn 
information in the centre display screen (i-MID). How can I get that same 
information from the current system?   
A:   Garmin Navigation uses the Honda Connect display for the navigation guidance 
information where the Auto zoom map function for manoeuvre is displayed and also

Q: Why are the road traffic speed signs sometimes different between the i-MID 
and the Navigation display? 
A: The Garmin navigation system road speed information in the map display is taken 
from the map database. 
The iMID road speed information is obtained from using the Traffic Sign Recognition 
system with a forward facing camera which reads the actual road speed signs. 
Sometimes the Navigation Speed may show a different speed to the Traffic Sign 
Recognition  where roads speeds have been changed since the map data was 
updated or there is a temporary speed limit. 
    
Navigation road speed & TSR                   i-MID TSR road speeds          Speed is from navigation database  
 
Q: Can the Honda Connect system (without navigation) be upgraded to include the 
Garmin navigation? 
A:  No, Garmin navigation cannot be installed to the Honda Connect. 
Only Honda Connect with Navigation as factory fitment is with Garmin Navigation. 
 
Q: What can be a reason for no GPS signal when in the Garmin Navigation App? 
A: In the Android menu there is the possibility to turn the GPS off (Location services). 
If the GPS is not working, be sure to check that the location services option is ticked.
