Hello everyone.
A year ago my radio stop working because I was changing some settings in the maintenance mode (Honda pilot 2016 Touring AWD w/ rear entertainment).
Back camera and Lane Watch camera works.

I took the car to the dealer and they told me they have to change the whole radio but I believe there is a way maybe to reinstall the radio Operating System, reformat the radio or something similar.

Do you have any ideas or suggestions to fix this.

Thanks.

Usually when hacking you make a backup image of the operating system to fall back with. The dealer does not have the ability level to restore an operating system. That is why they suggest replacing the head unit. Your best bet is to search around eBay for an replacement.

Here some info on upgrading a 2016 to a 2017 head unit.

Got my 2017 Honda Pilot black box a day early. Thanks UPS! Heres a quick video of the first startup. Glad it was successful. It seems my theory was correct. Everything was plug and play. Vin number doesnt need to be entered. The anti theft keyless entry is the actually module that gives the OK...

Did you try a hard reboot? Remove the radio fuse for 30 secs and reinstall.

Yes, I have, I ever uninstall and re-install the whole unit and nothing. I've been looking for that specific Head unit online and I cannot find it. 39540-TG7-Y41
