- Not quite sure what you can do but discovered this hidden screen. It has A lot of different functions but haven’t really messed around with them. Maybe you guys have heard of a few of these. You never know I might be able to help you out in someway. Hope somebody finds it useful.
If you’d like, feel free to donate to help support my channel. As always, It’s much appreciated.

Another fun tip! When your on that screen with the orange, if you press and hold the home button for another 5-10 seconds it will bring up yet another screen with even MORE options to customize stuff. Fun fact. Thought you should know.
Thanks bro 👍🏻
When someone is calling i can’t hear it in the car its just happend to me I’m trying to reboot the sistem woul it work ?
Awesome thx my screen has been messing up a lot on my second one know I can check it out better myself instead of trying to get pictures of it when it resets while I’m driving all the time.
Perfect, now i know what to press to inspect a used Honda accord before buying.
Pretty sure that Function is for the Honda Techs to diagnose the car. Nice feature you Found Jon.
Thanks man. Yeah it’s definitely for them when they service your vehicle. Wonder if any of it can unlock any features
Expected you to click the camera adjustment. You can do the similar thing on the older civic with the I mid display and go through the settings to activate your rear camera while driving. Really useful if you have tinted windows and drive a manual
And dangerous.
Jon, I love your videos. Very informative. Thank you. By the way, how do you get out of that secret/hidden screen?
Thanks man. I really appreciate it. Just turn the car off and it automatically goes back or push the power button.
maybe i'm weird but I always read my owners manual as well as the factory service manual....thats how I found the HVAC self diagnosis function in my CRV.
Very cool find, this will be very helpful
Nice! Keep up the good vids👍
Thanks man. I appreciate it. 👊🏼
H. Accord Generation 13-17 have similar menu. More interesting options like DSP, ANC and operation restriction settings are displayed if you long press "Self Diagnosis Mode" menu
Is there a way to figure it out. And where is the web browser.
There’s another screen to get into after you hold those three buttons, so after that press and hold the home button and it gets you into another screen to mess around with. I did the audio settings and turned off the pf setting to make music sound much better, you can always put it back on if you don’t like it but just thought I’d share that info with you.
Thanks. I’ll have to check that out for sure.
What is pf mean?
What is pf?
Just bought my accord sport and my back up guildlines arnt centered. Hope this helps fix it
I have a 2019 Rl-T ridge line but hate the sound system would like to replace it with a 2020 accord 10”touchscreen one will it plug-in and operate all my steering wheel controls and is it available to buy the touchscreen and the head unit so that I can replace it!
What about a hidden menu to play videos on the 2021 pilot?
I’m sure the dealer uses this to inspect cars when you turn them in after a lease.
I worked at a dealership for 3 years and we don’t do this when getting a leased back at least not at Nissan
I bought a 2020 accord hybrid to be a Lyft driver and I had a passenger tell me you can instal apps like lyft onto the car. He showed me where to navigate in the menus but not enough to actually do it. Any idea how to install apps onto the accord, like lyft? I’ve seen people instal games and video apps too. Being able to watch Netflix on the hud would be cool.
Pretty neat
I will try it
Nice. Thank you
How about removing the timer on remote start?
Good to know thanks 👍
Any idea of how to turn off the horn alarm that sounds two times before turning the car on, i have a 2018 accord 2.0
Wao so cool great job nice
Thanks man. Maybe it can be useful to
Some people.
That’s nice to know but I really wouldn’t want to inadvertently disable an important setting which would require me to have to got to the dealership to have system resynchronized.
I know you could use an see the backup camera on screen while driving..but u cant play the radio while its in that mode..press return button to go back to home screen for regular use or shut off car and when turned back on it also goes back to regular use.. ✊😎
Nice bro. Thanks for the info. 👊🏼
do you know what to press for a 2024 Accord?
System update?
Does anyone know how to get rid of the clock from showing up over the self installed wallpaper?
I was reading something about the Civic, and it looks like Honda is still sticking to the same design when they redesigned it in 2016 with minor changes. My friend was going to get it, but he wanted a full refresh. I'm guessing people like that design so Honda doesn't want to fully refresh it. For the 2020 Civic Hatchback its pretty much the same design, they haven't come out with the Sedans yet. I just though of sharing that.
Thanks man. Yeah I noticed that. I can’t wait to see the new design of the Accord
You're amazing...thank you.
Thanks man. 👊🏼
How can i do that because my car has a diferent screen than yours and i have a 2018 accord! My screen doesn’t have home buttom and source buttom only in the steering
Great video thanks. Share more secrets!
I have a 2018 Sport 2.0. Anyways, does anybody know if there is a way to turn on the Navigation? Not through the phone. Also the TPS sytem? The Sport will only tell you that your air pressure is low. There is no display showing the tire pressure of each tire. It sucks, you have to check all the tires pressure with a tie gauge. Come on Honda!
Thanks in advance.
Thanks man. I agree it would be nice to know the pressures. I
Think the higher trims have it. But to make it work you would need a sensor in each wheel that relays the info. I believe the lower trims don’t have those.
Mario Moreno I believe that Honda only uses a passive system now for tire pressure detection. It monitors the wheel speeds for any deviation overtime - cheaper and less complicated than the older systems.
Mario if you rotate the tires the low tire pressure can also come on. I did a tire rotation and the low tire pressure came on, I check all 4 tires everything okay. So what you do is go to calibrate TPMS and that fixes that issue.
Only the Touring and Ex-L models come with Navigation for 2018-2019 models. If you have a sport or any other trim, navigation only through android/apple car play or if you have Honda install navigation at an extra cost.
Is there a way to change the colors of the dash light and blinking alarm light (green) to a different color?
No. You would have to physically change the actual led which would require soldering the light in.
I want to be able to root the Android OS in the infotainment system. That way I could install whatever .apk files I want. I know that is possible with the Civic and CR-V but near as I can find, not the Accord.
I'm not finding the operational restrictions removal
Wish there was a hidden satellite radio feature in there somewhere. Cant believe the 1.5 sport doesn't come standard. Same infotainment system. Figured out the hidden remote start just by upgrading the key fob.
How did you upgrade the key fob?
Have to go to the dealership and buy the one with the remote start feature for the higher models, or buy online. Then get the dealership to program for your car, or I guess a locksmith could maybe do it. The feature is built into the car, but they dont want you to know it. I guess to buy a higher end model, stupid but it works.
I just purchased key fob from hondapartsguys.com 58.63 + 8.91 shipping. Got it in 4 days. Part number 72147-TV-A01. I did not give them my vin #. Getting it programmed next week.
u can get the keyfob cheaper from oem dealers online. and look for any locksmith in your area to program it for u for a decent price. don’t go to the dealership, they quoted me more than $300 for the key and programming.
The 2020 lx dont have this option. The head unit is very limited to what you can do with it. Only useful option I found and used is the bluetooth, cause the radio SUCKS.... and everything basically has to be done over your phone. 🤦♂️
I have a 2020 Honda Accord EX and I was mystified that with all the fancy stuff in the media center there, there's no GPS/map/navigation feature. Where is it?
Is there anyway to disable the Welcome chime sound after closing the driver door when getting into any 2018-2022 Accord? Thank you!
I’m not positive on that. I know it’s loud. I would think there might be a fuse. Check under the fuse box and see if any are labeled as chime. Could be one there.
Does anyone know if the 2020 Accord has a compass that can be displayed?
Cool. My 2004 Acura TSX has something very similar to this.
Great video! Unfortunately some say that enabling developer mode may cause problems, didn’t have any for months then recently got a blank screen. Everything works, touch screen seems functional since it has sound feedback. Carplay connects too. It’s just that the screen is blank. Any tips? What’s the fuse for the radio btw?
Thanks bro. If you are having issues I would disconnect the battery for 30 minutes. It helps reset everything if there are glitches.
Check if in developer options, keeping the screen on while charging (when vehicle is on) is selected. My screen would turn off after a minute and found the solution
Do you know what you did that caused the error? I’m thinking about changing the audio settings, don’t want to run into the same issue.
Is there a way to install Android APKs with this exact head unit? Or at the very least, use Android Auto wirelessly?
I have a Honda Insight 2019 that has this exact head unit.
That’s I’m not sure. I believe android auto can connect wirelessly if I’m not mistaken.
Sooooo does this screen only come up when those buttons are pushed or does it create a shortcut on the apps screen? Kinda curious how Honda would know you accessed it if you change settings back before putting into the shop?
I know they immediately void warranty if you just turn on developer settings. Tempted to anyway since Honda wants to claim all the shit wrong with my 2.0T EX-L isn't covered by the warranty anyway. 🤷
I'm sure that any setting you change it will be logged in the computer. Just going to this menu without actually changing anything shouldn't void any warranties.
2019 Honda Accord LX models unfortunately don’t have this option. But there is a way to get into the diagnostic menu - press the power button, and numbers 1 & 6. It takes you to a similar menu to the one in this video, the only problem im having is that when you change a setting in this mode it will automatically default back next time you turn the car on. None of the settings save that you switch in diagnostic mode. Anyone having any similar issues?
Hi JON
i have 2020 accord hybrid base model ( NO applle carplay ) can i hookup or buy anything to make screen have video like apple car play . thank you
Unfortunately I don’t think there is.
Hey man would u know how to fix all the flashing light and the check engine light on my Honda 2018 accord it’s a sport edition
I would first disconnect the battery for 30 minutes. See if that helps. If they come back you need to scan the system to see what the issue is.
Hey I am replaced the screen f8ex to touring will you think work
Hey did u ever do this if so was it.plug and play
hey jon can you find out if we can put a screen from sport trim to on a lx and will carplay everything gonna work?
I’m sure you could but the cost wouldn’t make it worth it. With the wiring and unit alone it would be cheaper to get the higher trim.
Linkswell makes a radio for these Honda accords
Holy goodness, that means if turn this in dealership or private, like a cell phone, will it keep track messages and phone numbers and stores in the car memory?
I don’t think it would but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to go into this and erase the settings before
Anybody know how to watch movies and other videos on the accord display?
Developer mode, screen mirroring, browser. Netflix and chill.. NOT while driving haha!
How can i make it to when i have the window lock on i (the driver) can continue to control all the windows without having to unlock them? Its very annoying when my kids get in and mess with the windows, plus the front passenger having control with the lock on also would be nice
That would be nice. I feel the same. That would require splicing wires and honestly not worth the chance of messing something up. They are on a circuit so you would have to make the drivers independent.
@@HondaJon Yea it was more of a comment pointing out my frustration with it, every other automaker makes it to where the driver still controls all the windows. Its funny how when you go through the settings there is actually a window selection but nothing to change when you select it 🤷♂️
Totally agree. I’m sure it’s cheaper this way.
Is there a way to make changes to the vehicle settings without having to engage the parking brake
What kind of changes are you looking for?
There are settings on the vehicle that can’t be changed unless the Parking brake is engaged. The same thing happens with Apps like Google Maps, that won’t let you type in an Address unless the parking brake is engaged. There’s gotta be a way to bypass this setting.
Is there a way to remove the disclaimer that appears on screen when you start the car?
I don’t think so. That’s a legal disclaimer that I’m sure Honda would make permanent with their headunits.
Anyone know how to do this on an 2018 Accord LX?
I would like to know if the 2020 lx does that ?
Hey Jon,
Sorry for asking you so many questions lol. But do you know if the 2018/2019 Accords have the same interior dimensions? I'm shopping for floor mats and I was going to buy some 2018 floor mats for my 2019.
No worries man. I’m beat to help. Yes they are all the same. I sometimes search for 2019 too and once in awhile get a better deal on eBay. Lol
@@HondaJon sweet! Thank you, haha I've been ordering stuff left and right. You should get a promo code for the items you bought in your videos I bet you'd make a lot of comission lol
Lol. Yeah. The nice part if almost everything is donated to me. So it’s nice so I can do the videos. 👍🏻
@@HondaJon When I get my build more complete I'd be happy to donate some parts to you lol.
When you press your brake does it make a weird noise when in park? I can hear the brake when I'm parked and feel it in the shifter. It will actually move the shifter if I press and release the brake in park. Or am I crazy and this is normal lol
Lol. You mean you feel a little pulse sort of? That’s normal. It’s the mechanism that makes it so you have to push the brake before shifting out of park. Even my older accords did it. 👍🏻
Hey look you found diagnostic mode!
Love how you’ve got your car setup. How did you do your wheels all black? Would love to do that to my wife’s accord
Thanks man. I appreciate that. It’s easy. Just get the black vinyl overlays. It takes time but once you get the hang of it it’s easy. Check out my original video on it
czcams.com/video/f0KawQ-AX7Q/video.html
@@HondaJon oh wow just watched it, that’s not what I was expecting! Looks great. Have any opinions on that method vs plasti dip?
Yeah definitely changes the look instantly. I’ve yet to see plasti dip look all even and same finish. The glass black vinyl looks amazing. The main thing is to really clean the wheel before you start. Definitely use like a Windex or something like that to strip any wax or oil an allowed to dry completely. For the price you can’t beat it
I just want the radio to let me choose what and when to play when starting car. Just turning off auto play will thrill me.
I know that feeling
@ Honda Jon Is there a way to display the turbo meter? I have a 2018 Honda Accord sport 2.0 T 6 speed
That I’m not sure. You would have to know what all the codes mean. There could be a way but I personally don’t know. Hopefully someone knows a way to uncover some useful things 👍🏻
Honda Jon That would be sweet if indeed we would be able to have access to that. So far only the touring models have an available turbo meter but only when switched to the sport setting.
I have it as well. The manual transmission don’t get it. I wish I could have it on without being in sport mode. Maybe there’s a way🤔
You would have to get a Ktuner or Hondata to display that.
Purchase the OBDlink MX+ on amazon. It uses an app on your phone to display a digital or analog gauge.
Just wondering if you know if there is a software update for wireless Apple car play for 2018 accord EXL 2.0
Not yet. I know honda is working on it though.
@@HondaJon thank you. Love the videos
No problem man. Thank you for the support 👍🏻
can the alarm to a honda accorrd 2019 sport be upgraded with the walk away and lock fiture
If you don’t have an ex model, you would need a lot of parts that it wouldn’t be cost effective.
@@HondaJon ok like what parts name them ..
It would be not only the handles but the wire harnesses and computer that controls the locking functions so when you walk away it knows how far you are. It would cost about $2500 for it when the ex can be bought for less than that from a sport
@@HondaJon OK I HAVE A HONDA SPORT 1.5T SO IM TOLD EX.
The 1.5 sport is based of the lx. The 2.0 sport is based of the ex.
How can I do that for a 2019 Honda insight???
No positive on the exact sequence but it’s probably really similar to this.
Extra hidden menu ... when inside the "Detail & Information System" menu, hold Home button for 6-8 seconds (or until beeps) and opens another layer of hidden menus.
Thanks man. I’ll check it out.
Didn’t work on my 2021 Touring.
@@g.dubyou6263 lol bro I'm trying to get youtube or activate the browser ????? Any glue ???
@@kennyfuentes23 nope, haven’t made it that far. If I figure it out, I’ll post.

I played in setting and showing ( LanWatch aiming is not completed ) HELP ME PLEASE
It should reset if you turn of the car. If not disconnect the battery. It should default back
Let me know if you figure out how to disable auto start/stop or the auto-braking shit where I don't have to disable it each start up.
Do you know how we access the browser? I see there is one installed but I can’t figure out how to open it ;)
Not positive if you can. You have to be in developer mode
I just purchased a 2021 Honda Accord sport special edition... Unfortunately I don't see Sirius XM radio on audio, source, or my home screen... Is there a way to install it without additional components?? Thanks so much!
Congratulations. There is a way to install it. Most electronic stores will
Install one for you. It would require wiring the antenna. Are you sure it doesn’t have it?
@@HondaJon I think the touring model has it factory and maybe the hybrid, but my sport definitely doesn't... Maybe I'll call the dealership tomorrow and I'll let you know what they say! Was hoping I could go into developer settings, or install from USB but maybe it's not that simple :(
That would be nice. But it needs an active antenna. My 2020 2.0 sport does have xm so I would think your would too
I don't think works on newer civics with the LCD screens, couldn't get to hidden menu
I bet it’s s different sequence.
How do you get out of this mode! It’s very important to tell us this, please.
If you turn the car off it will go back.
Do you know what the church bell chime means? There is also another chime that sounds like the chime on an airplane when right before they illuminate the fasten seatbelt light.
Can’t think of it at the moment but you can send a video clip to hondajon00@outlook.com and I can check it out.
It’s so random I don’t know when I should video it. I saw a thread that everyone was talking about it and the last person went to the stealership and says it was because of loose battery cables. I’m going to the stealership tomorrow morning I will ask them what it could be.
Idk what but mine didn't work does anyone have something else that worked
THANKS - TOO COOL - iis there anyway to display the front camera?
Thanks. I’m sure there’s a way but I don’t know what all the codes are. And if you go into that screen with the engine running it has another slew of options. You would have to know what all these codes mean and I’m sure you could do it somehow.
@@HondaJon It would be a nice capability. There are times when I am trying to get in close to something and the extra viewpoint would be a big help. Like the backup camera, but for the front. [FWIW, I also am going to look into tapping the video from the front and rear cameras - see if I can hook it to a recorder (looped), rather than having to install an additional dashcam.]
Agree with that. Let me know how it goes
@@HondaJon Hi - I totaled my 2018 Touring 2.0 about 5 months ago (I have front & rear view cameras showing the event- kinda scary) replaced it with a Benz GLC 300 - thanks for all your vids on the Accord All air bags deployed - lane keep assist did not work - maybe I was going too fast :)
Sorry to hear about that. Glad your ok. Sweet ride you picked up. What year did you get?
Honda Jon or anybody know how to get to the web browser like on the 13 -17 year models
3:21 so if it is picking up gps satilittes why cant our head units do navigation?? Since I bought mine new they have told me our cards dont have gps but clearly in this screen it is showing it does.
I’m sure it can but Honda is the one that allows what it can do.
The tech and specs are already built in the head units. All the head units on all trims are the same. Honda just blocks it. Just like how they block the remote start on the LX and sports 1.5 but you can bypass it by modifying an ex trim or higher key. I'm sure there us a community online that has a bunch of coders and hackers who mess around with the head unit to get more out of it, seeing its android base. I have done some things as well myself. Issue is honda will not fix anything you break and it isn't covered under the warranty so if you brick your head unit, you're screwed. I doubt Honda would reinstall the os on it, not free at least.
@@abpanda1596 I'm down my warranty is up soon anyways. Worst case scenario I buy that aftermarket 12 inch head unit
@@NerdyMeathead is there a link to an after market 12" unit ???
Android Auto or Apple Carplay will fix that for you. I'd love it to be built in though. My wifes 2012 Lincoln has on board Navigation FFS.
Does it have AC self diagnostic??
Not 100% sure but would think so.
Does this work for a 2019 Honda Insight?
I haven’t tried it but it might.
Does anyone know how to put odometer on meter its just showing trip b
If you keep cycling through it will pop up. It is confusing because there are a lot of different options that you can see
Any hidden menus on 2020 honda passport
I’m sure there is but not sure of the sequence. Have you tried these steps?
HI Jon: I am a senior and don't want to sit all day at the dealers if I can fix it myself. My screen froze! I did as you told us to do but no deal. Any other tips that may help me fix it myself? Thank you in advance for any help
Have you disconnected the battery for 30 minutes?

@user-td4vw1eu8p definitely. A lot
Of the time that resets everything
My 2020 accord doesn’t have a home button 😢
Hey jon slightly off topic but does your apple CarPlay work? Mine always cuts off or ends up not working at all. Called Honda techs and they told me to bring it in for service
Yeah mine works perfect. What exactly does it do?
Mine just works for about 5 minutes and then the car won’t read my phone at all
First thing is are you using an original Apple cable? Then are you running the last way software? If you are I would try rebooting the display. I have a video on it and then reboot the phone and try again.
Yeah did all of those things still doesn’t work, I wonder if it could void my lease
What would void your lease?
I'm trying to find the setting feature to change the temperature display to Celsius. Anyone know anything about it?
Hey.. what wheels did you get or are those aftermarket?
Hi. Those are the stock sport wheels with the blackout kit installed on them. Really changes the look

I wonder if there is a way to change the digital speedometer from KMH to MPH through these settings. I know that other countries that have KMH as the standard unit of speed have the digital MPH on their 2018 honda accords.
Interesting. I would
Love that. You would have to know how it’s labeled. I would hate to mess something up.
you can do that on the tachometer screen by holding the button selector on your steering wheel

How do i do this? Please help
Hey Jon how do I get the total mileage back ? It disappeared
Where did it disappear from?
@@HondaJon From the dashboard display. It was right under the D(drive) and temperature but now trip mileage is there. I just want the total miles of the car back
Just cycle through the options from the steering wheel. It should be on the left side. You can cycle though trip a and trip b and then odometer.
@@HondaJon ok I'll try it. Thanks
Left of the steering wheel there is a button for trip meter. It goes to trip A,B and then mileage .
What if you don’t have a home button?
There is a way to do it but forgot what the exact procedure is.
Hey! What's the best way to keep up on the maintenance schedule? I see the manual does not have a schedule. Is it because it's all saved electronically in the vehicle system? Any recommendations?! I wanted to try to maintain the recommended manufacturer schedule. Thanks.
Yeah I would definitely go off the maintenance minder. It monitors all the wear and tear and will let you know what needs to be done based on driving characteristics. It’s what honda goes off of. Hope that helps.

anyone has a problem with their accord bluetooth delay? it drives me insane.
Yes bro!!
Yah!
Do you have any recommendations for dash camera?please let me know.
I don’t. I want to get one myself but don’t want to break the bank. It’s a good idea to have one nowadays. Let me know if you find a nice one. I’ll do the same.
I would lean towards something like a rear view mirror dual dash camera. They often do loop recording, and record audio. Pick one that has dual cameras that you can rotate yourself. Often this setup will let you monitor what's ahead of you and your cabin/ a little bit behind you.
Buy Rove 4K. Good recommendation. Bought two so far
There are even more hidden options if you hold the HOME button once initially entering the first hidden menu.

Do know how to turn off the screen?
Are you talking about just the screen in general or how to get out of that hidden screen?
@@HondaJon the screen in general.

Yes how to go back to the normal screen ?
Simply push any button and it will return to the main screen or turn the car off and it goes back to normal when it’s restarted
