Built in Owner's Manual?
« on: October 31, 2021, 12:19:16 AM »
... Someone mentioned a built in owner's manual that can be accessed by way of the touch screen.
Is it there by default or is it a case of installing the pdf?
Not sure if this is via USB or some form of OTA download?
Any clues would be appreciated  :)

According to the PDF owner manual it can be installed/updated OTA through WiFi connection

The manual was already installed on my 2020 registered Jazz SR, there is an icon on my system to call it up. Although I prefer to use the paper manual most of the time.

Same here, pressed the button and up it popped.

I also prefer the online PDF version, more detail as it's got more pages.
Let's be careful out there !

...I checked the 'all apps' section and owner's manual wasn't ticked to show :o
I can now select it  ;D

On a side note I tried a few movies from the usb stick  8) turn to audio only once you move away from park though... understandably  :)

The above 'updated by WiFi' reminds me ....

I can connect the headunit to my home router quite easily but does that do anything ? I'm sure I spotted somewhere that the headunit WiFi is meant to connect to a mobile phone, not a router ?

No: that should make no functional difference.
En each case it allow updating head unit wirelessly.

I have mine connected to home WiFi - in case an update is large the broadband would download it quicker.

I think updates can also come through the telematics, if so the WiFi connection isn’t really needed.

It connected OK to the router but I subsequently disconnected as I wasn't convinced it was doing anything.

Mine wasn't telematics activated so I've just got the default 3 Honda connections listed.

...No app required (as Phil never said :D) Just bung them on a stick with your mp3s. When playing from USB it will play as a video if it's MP4, AVI, WMV etc.
Will revert back to audio only if you move out of 'P'-Park.

Where can I find the service book, or is it also part of the maintenance info in the entertainment system under vehicle settings as well as manual?

The service book is a separate book that should be in the manual pack.

As you're in the UK it should be there.
