Over the air “audio update”

[SPH]

Android auto would take forever to connect if I left the car with my phone or if I turned bluetooth on after starting the car. Got rid of my last major gripe with the car

I never noticed how laggy the stock CarPlay was until I did the update, amazingly responsive.

Almost feels like it's predicting what I'm going to do lol it's crazy how responsive it is now.

I noticed that some new 2025 Honda's have a new graphical interface on what appears to be still the the same infotainment hardware.

Apparently those use Google Maps as the default GPS (and not Google Maps from Android Auto/CarPlay, a built-in one replacing the Honda GPS the Type R currently has, including Type R 2025). The button have a more sleeker colored look and the quick action buttons moved from the bottom to the side.

I'd be curious if this would be a future update for the Type R

** I can confirm the 2025 Type R still has the same older UI / Version as the 2023-2024 models but 2025 non-Type R Civics get the update.

They likely didn't give the FL5 the new radio because LogR is coded for our current radio.

Saw this as well and ran it when I got home. I’ve noticed lately that CarPlay will disconnect/struggle when opening some media apps like Tidal, so maybe this remedies it. The release notes focused on stability while using CarPlay/AA

Got the same update moving the car around this afternoon. I'll get a bit of seat time to see what's new tomorrow. Do they (Honda) not provide change log?

I don’t believe there’s a public set of release notes outside of the bulletin points found in the head unit. Maybe internally accessible by techs but nothing public facing
