Does it ever brick? the 10th gen screen on the type r shuts off whenever it want. I am researching to see if I should stay OEM and just put the 11th gen part idc about sluggishness if it works I use my phone most the time anyway I just like to have the google maps gps on
Well, you aren't doing this. Not unless you are buying a GenXI Type R as your solution. The system in the new Civics is radically different from that in the GenX.
Well can you answer my question to see if it bricks or not? Honda makes it so the Type R can take any infotainment since the JDM model doesn't come with one and they are just add ons you can see any FK8 on the Japanese market and even some euro. Only USDM and the Canadian are stuck with the trash infotainment. https://www.tc-v.com/used_car/honda/civic/29571847/?sp=2 here its already been added a headunit by the dealer but you can see its drastically different, https://www.tc-v.com/used_car/honda/civic/28726741/?isNew=1 this one has a completly different one installed, https://www.tc-v.com/used_car/honda/civic/30371217/?isNew=1 , and here this 2021 JDM spec doesn't have one installed by the dealer yet https://www.tc-v.com/used_car/honda/civic/29670435/?isNew=1
You made the comment that you would just add the 11th gen system to your car. I never said there was no way to put in an aftermarket. I know there are loads of them as I had a 10th gen Civic before my new 2022 Touring GenXi. The infotainment system in the latest Civic is absolutely in no way at all going into your FK8. PERIOD. It is a radical departure from the previous gen in basically every way. It is also the first system in a Honda product that can do full over the air updates.
I don't think we are having the same conversation. All I'm saying is that Type R's which are different from the regular civic are able to take any infotainment. I'm talking about taking the infotainment from the FL5 Type R and seeing if that would work. If you haven't done it how would you know if it would work or not. Literally the last accord and the current TLX offer over the air updates this is not the first honda, the 10th gen civic was the last model that did not. I'm just giving a thought because it might be a good idea but I already found a solution to the issue of the headunit failing in civicx forums because every 2021 civic type r. Since all type rs 2021 had a race logging system it was too much for the Andriod 8 system to handle you need to buy a Carlinkit T Box and that allows you to override the system with another. You don't get the race logging but your system also never bricks again
No, see what you don't seem to get is that the GenXI Civic, INCLUDING the soon to come Type R, is a MASSIVE departure from what the Infotainment setup is/was like in the GenX.
what you mean, does this solve load time latency?
