We only wanted Android Auto, HondaHack solution was just not enough.First I swap out 2017 EX Audio Unit part #39540-TG7-A02 just to get Android Auto working. Then I came across a great deal on a 2018 Elite Audio Unit part #39540-TG7-A44.
After installing the unit, I found that there's no sound since EX trim doesn't come with an AMP.
I couldn't find any information on anyone else who added OEM Rear Entertainment System to Non-Elite/Trg trim. So I took the dive and did the whole audio system upgrade!
In between work, distant learning for the kids, a few hours a week, and plenty of frustrations, I was able to gather all the necessary parts, diagram, and pinouts for the project.
Necessary OEM parts can be had on ebay:
1. 2017-2018 Audio Unit w/ RES
2. AMP
3. BluRay Drive
4. Dash Harness from Elite/Touring
5. Rear Screen (dual HDMI for BD)
6. Rear AUX Jack
The rewards was Android Auto for the happy wife and rear Entertainment for the kids!
