How To Download Google Maps In Honda Crv Ex 201616 Interior
I've been experimenting with this in my 2016 CR-V and some new phones. It's very crummy, but I've had some success so far. With the Galaxy S7, Mirrorlink worked but only via the registered apps and I couldn't bust out, no matter what I tried. Samsung's Carmode app is kinda lame, but does support Mirrorlink. With the LG G5, Mirrorlink works slightly better and with a companion app like DriveMode (free in the Play store) you can bust out and do stuff like Google Maps, but it throws the 'feature not available while in motion' error when you kick into gear (I've tried everything I can think of in the head unit settings to turn this off, supressing like HDMI does not work, but with the right phone you can output to HDMI and have a semi-functional solution). My friend's HTC M9 works pretty well and seems to have the best support for Mirrorlink (apparently HTC is taking it the most seriously) with native support for Google Maps and everything. Hopefully when the HTC 10 hits the streets, I can report that works as well as the M9.
