I have an HRV-EX. I didn't get the EX-L because I wasn't interested in leather or roof rails. But I would have liked the Navi system. Is it possible to add the Navi to my EX?
I just bough the EX a week ago; it has built in GPS and the head unit is identical to the head unit in the EX-L with exception to an SD card.
as a software engineer, I'm considering obtaining the SD card from an EX-L, cloning it, and loading it onto the SD card in my EX.
Allegedly, although not confirmed, we can't just buy the replacement SD as the unit is married to the SD card. I don't see how this is possible, but if indeed it is, then cloning the software onto the original SD should suffice.
Next steps are:
a) an EX-L member lends us their SD card temporarily
or
b) we chip in and buy the SD card from the EX-L.
If we chip-in to buy the SD card it's "more legal" than one person buying it and then selling copies to other members to spilt the cost.
Just a thought, let me know what you guys think. Cloning the card is a straight forward process.
This is the part assembly for the EX-L:

There's got to be better alternatives ...--- SNIP ---
Has anyone tried ordering an EXL head unit from honda and having it installed into their EX?
"Video Switchers" may offer a solution to the side vs rear cam.I am thinking of either the Pioneer or Kenwood system.
They both have a double din that has Android auto and Apple car play.
Actually I think there are several models.
What would I loose? Most likely the side cam. I am guessing no hdmi.
I believe they both have hook up for rear cam.

Of course for as little as $15 you could mount a dedicated lcd screen ... camera on the vent to the left of the factory double DIN ... iPhone mounted on the right ...
At $15, little screens all across your dashboard ... monitor everything, all the time![]()
I like that does it come off the dash easily? How does the gel pad work?I'm using a Spigen Stealth Car Mount for my phone. It sits on the dash (attached by gel pad) right above the head unit, and works perfectly.

I bought the premium version of Sygic Car Navigation to use with my Galaxy Note 4, and it works well through Mirrorlink, but the map in my area isn't fully updated. It's actually just easier to use Google Maps because I don't have to connect the phone by USB in order to use Mirrorlink. That, and I can get voice direction from Google Maps and stream music from my phone at the same time via the bluetooth connection easily.
As for me doing something dumb is a person not doing their due diligence before buying a car then coming here to bash in in their post.how could honda do something this dumb
