You can power off the unit & go to the settings -> steering wheel control

There, you choose Without adaper / Korean Car. (Yes. KOREAN!)

Now you can configure the steering wheel button to whatever you want.

Check out some Sony models that are retailing for 25k or less, with a knob for volume control. 5090BT has a sharp, thin bar for a volume control.

My budget is flexible but would want it to be in 20-30k range. A clean finish / fit is a must. Perhaps will wait for a while or will look at the Android based system which come with the panel.

I recently (July 2018) purchased a Honda City V MT which is my second car (my wife has an Alto K10 VXi). I have driven only ~3K kms so far and hoping to take it on a long drive to south Tamil Nadu in March. Based on my drive experiences (90% within the city and I do take it to airport once in a while), the car performance is phenomenal. The iVtec engine is such a pleasure to drive and I enjoy every moment of it!!

The only (so far) concern is the city's shoddy entertainment system. Though I had researched extensively before zeroing on it and knew that entertainment system is laggy, I didn't expect such a lag. It just freezes sometimes and the bluetooth quality is abymal. I have shown it twice to the Honda service center and each time they certify that its performing good (whereas its not). Also the pathetic maps which comes along with it (i-go) :-(

I went for City primarily because of its very good rear seat comfort (I had verna also in my shortlist and didn't choose it only for the above reason). My question is has any City owners installed any third party infotainment system? I was researching few and found Sony XAV-AX5000 6.95 to be really good (it also has Android Auto which would be an icing on the cake for me as I use maps literally every day). In case we install it, does the existing warranty go void?

I'm in two minds whether to go for it or get used to this crappy music system every day. Please help!!

Has anyone installed this on the Duster (2017 onward models)? Any reviews?

This thread is about the installation of a Pioneer system in a Honda City. Did you go through the thread? What help do you need? I have heard Honda people talking about warranty void etc but I am really not sure if they have done this to someone. The installation is mostly plug and play. Get a HU which suits your budget, and given that we are nearing 2020, get a HU with a capacitive touch screen.

If you read this thread (and several others on this forum) you will find several users who have installed third party systems in their Honda City. There are very specific questions about the Z5090BT that have already been answered on this thread. If you want answers about the Sony AX5000 then please see the thread below.

Even if your installer does not cut and splice wires and uses the standard connectors for connecting the system your manufacturer is legally free to void your warranty although in practice it is rarely done (if the install is clean and the installer has used proper connectors and not spliced the wire).

Anyone on this thread who has changed the ICE on their Honda City have an answer to my question here ? : URL

[vns]

Last week I replaced my old HU with DMH-Z5290BT on my swift. It costed me 19k with fitting included. Both android auto and apple carplay worked seamlessly fine. Yet to test the weblink app through which we can stream video content as well.

Hey Navin,

Which one would you recommend between Pioneer AVH-Z5290BT vs Sony xav-ax5000?

One obvious benefit with the Sony's system is that it has a Capacitive touchscreen. Apart from that what are the other differences and factors on which I can base my decision?

I am ready to pay a little more but I do not want a laggy frustrating experience with the HU.

[rahulskumar]

I am unable to locate the remote control. Could someone please let me know the model number written on the remote, a pic would be great.

I did not find in the local stores and Pioneer asked me to provide the exact part number.

Thanks in advance.

Folks

When I upgraded my phone to S22 Ultra, this unit became unusable on the Jazz.

I have updated both the phone & HU firmware (HU: 8.36) but it simply does not show the Android Auto (AA) screen after connecting.

I have tried deleting the phone in BT on the HU, the HU on the phone, resetting/ reinstalling AA on the phone, new cables, OE cables ... the works. But, nothing does!

I mailed Pioneer India support - they washed their hands "Reference to below mail would like to apprise you that Android Auto is not a Pioneer India software therefore in case of any compatibility concern with your new smartphone running on Android 12 customer has to directly approach Android Auto.
Also note as of now there is no firmware available for this model AVH-Z5090BT."

I have raised the issue in AA forums & Samsung Community as well. (Seems to be a globalish problem)

Any suggestions on what to do?

Any suggestions on what HU I should look at to get AA functionality back? (THe Pioneer pioneer DMH-ZS9350BT works reasonably ok (crashes & loses GPS every once in a while) with my phone. But I do not want to spend 80k (or even the 50k the 6350 costs)! And I do not see why should give any more business to Pioneer when they dont provide support anyway.

I am looking at a hu for my f-i-l's 4g Honda City. I've read that most stereos don't support the call buttons on the steering. Right now the pio 5290 seems to be the current model. I would like to know if these buttons will work with the pio or any hu at all

[abiswas27]

I am looking to replace my Honda City Digipad (2017).I saw a post on Youtube about Woodman brand ICE. Apparently they supply a fascia and connectors as per your car model. Has anyone installed it? I visited their site and they have installation partners in most of the major cities. It seems they are not available in any store but can be bought online only and retails for around 25k.

I was using 5290 in my 4th gen Honda City (pre facelift), the call buttons were not supported. As per the information I got from the installer, the call buttons are supported in facelift model Honda City. I don't have first hand experience in this regard, but just letting you know what I got to know from a reputed installer in Cochin (Kerala).

Hey,

Could you retain the stock USB and AUX ports near the gear lever?

I want to retain it since I will be using the USB port for CarPlay / Android Auto
