myhonda app account

[CB72]

I'm trying to setup the myhonda app, I log in using email and password,  then it goes to a welcome screen, where it wants me to configure a screen lock or use email and password which I've just used!.  I can't skip this page and there is only an option to go to settings, that takes me to the phone settings not the myhonda settings. I don't know what settings I'm supposed to set as everything is as I want it.

This is the setup guide.

As far as I'm aware you must have either a screen lock pin or use the phones authentication (face or finger print ID)

Had to create a screen lock pin which I don't normally setup.  Got as far as identifying my vehicle but can't generate a pin (what more security) apparently both the phone and car have to have a strong Internet connection,  do I have to park under a transmitter!

You can see what mobile signal the car has by looking at the audio screen icon, to the right of the clock, car with radio waves, icon should be white and show a signal strength.

Driving around there's no signal at all anywhere.  Touched the icon and a system status screen appears, next to the signal icon is the message "Connected to TCU".
Why no signal?
Can't find anything in the manual on this.
Nothing describing the icons either

... Have you checked in the settings that to are actually sharing data?
Don't know if that would show up by not displaying any 'waves' on the TCU signal If you had sharing switched off?

If the text and icon are grey, it means that the TCU is in eCall mode and has not been authorised yet. I had to go to the dealer to get this done and it took them 5 minutes. It will turn white when it is authorised.

I'm reading a few posts that reckon there is no longer any need for the dealer to activate telematics ?

They reckon the app has been updated so you put in your VIN and it does it remotely ?

Not a Jazz forum though

I might experiment later this week

I’ll be interested if this works for you. I tried it a couple of weeks ago and couldn’t activate telematics so was going to the dealer for a service and got them to activate it.
Sadly I haven’t been able to get the app to work as it won’t offer me any subscriptions so I may turn TCU off if I can and try again in a few months

...As of the end of November it was still something the garage needed to do.

...It may coincide with the recent change with the apps and how they are now offered? so may filter through?

I had the message "Connected to TCU" although it was not connected. Or maybe it was partially connected, who knows.
Anyway, trying to run Messages application (see on the main screen, there is a tile called Messages) returned "Authorization failed" (or something similar). This was a sign that it was actually not connected, so the MyHonda+ doesn't know about the car and it doesn't even try to generate a pin.
After going to the dealer and asking for the TCU to be enabled, everything went smoothly: pin was generated, I received a message with the pin in the car, I read it, entered in the application and bingo, MyHonda+ was connected to my car.
Long story short, the "Connected to TCU" message is misleading.
