Problems with Update

2786 Views 10 Replies 8 Participants Last post by  spdrush
So, I dutifully performed the software update that Honda recommended. Of course I lost all my navigation history, but another problem reared its ugly head. I listen to books on Android Auto while I am driving. Since the update I can be driving along listening and suddenly the volume decreases momentarily for several seconds to about one fourth of the volume setting, then it comes back up. This happens sporadically, but constantly occurs. Has anyone else experienced this?

Maybe you are getting notifications (text, fb alerts, etc.) on your phone and it is lowering the volume? Otherwise, haven't experienced this.

Yep, that happens to me.

Or, perhaps you are getting navigation directions with the nav volume turned all the way down.
I guess that I will address it with the dealership when I go in for the recall. As far as I can tell, I am not receiving any notifications, nor is the volume reduction happening due to navigation directions, since I was not using navigation at any time. Thanks for the responses.
After my update, performed by the dealer at a service interval, my 2020 EX-L no longer recognizes my Samsung Z-fold 3 phone for hands free dialing. I get a "not a valid iOS device", which makes sense as it is an Android
Not quite sure what you mean when you say "it makes sense since it is an Android". I have a Samsung S21 plus and have no problems with it. Perhaps you could try unpairing the phone and then pairing it again ???

Were you by some chance launching CarPlay in error? Hands free dialing is Bluetooth dependent so the car should not give OS (CarPlay or Android Auto) related error messages.
After your update the system will have lost your prior Bluetooth pairing settings and Bluetooth itself might be turned off. Try switching on Bluetooth and pair your phone again. Here are pairing instructions from the manual.

I had a different problem as a result of latest software upgrade, it blew away my app controlling my factory installed CD player. The service department at East Coast Honda in Myrtle Beach SC quickly pulled it back up with no appointment needed. The upgrade blew away my home address and recent trips but that's no big deal to me. My feedback to Honda was to let the owners know of these changes ahead of time...no reply as if today.
fx_chip,
Well, I I unpaired my phone and then paired it again to the Passport. It worked! Thanks for the suggestion. I have been listening to my books for about a week now with no issues.

Does the same to me if I use the lame voice controls. NOT AN IOS DEVICE.
