Software - Jazz's weakest part

[RichardA]

Also, mine has never picked up any side street speed signs.

Ours picks up EVERY side street speed sign, so keeps on telling us off for driving @29MPH in a 30MPH zone due to the sidestreets being 20MPH

Useless "technology" (read gimmick) that we dont need

My experiance [non-Honda] is it get caught out by lower speed limits only where there is a side road with a lower limit on a bend. Nine times out of ten it alerts me for doing anything over 31mph in a 40mph zone due to the side road on the bend being a 30mph limit.

Think most cars act like this Richard

I’ve not had any major problems with the Jazz system as it tends to pick up the correct speed sign

It’s not perfect by any means but most other car manufacturers have the same issue

My 2021 car used to pick up quite a few 'wrong' speed roundels from side roads etc. I havnt noticed it as much with my 2024 car, which I believe relies more on gps data , but occasionally still happens.
Sorry if this sounds righteous  but  I consider the chimes  as a relatively discrete reminder (once you get used to them )  to double check  you are still correct about the applicable speed limit. Something you should do regularly anyway.       If the legal limit is actually higher there is no big deal continuing to drive  at the higher speed (if safe) as the chimes are not continuous.

 I didnt comment earlier on necessary improvements to adjusting display lighting levels. (TBH being retired most of my driving happens in daylight, although I dont actively avoid the dark  )

When driving I normally have the satnav screen running, even when not needed.  This has automatic night mode based on time and ambient light level sensor  .  Wouldnt this solve  some of the problems of an overbright infotainment screen?

For me, there are two main things that bother me:

the inability to install apps - I would only need to install one - Mapy.com.

The second thing is the speed alarm: if you can't turn it off permanently (which would be best), then at least reduce the volume. Or does the EU regulation also determine the volume level?

For example, I don't mind HERE's speeding warning on my phone. It's just a tapping sound, the tone isn't as annoying as the Honda's.

Stani make sure your Jazz is connected via Bluetooth to your phone successfully; iPhone definitely has CarPlay that works wirelessly, without a cable, but I’m not sure if Android Auto has the same wireless connectivity

I use an iPhone wirelessly using CarPlay and it works a treat

If you have the Mapy.com. app installed on your phone it should show up on the Jazz infotainment screen and you should be able to use it perfectly fine.  Once CarPlay detects your device the Jazz infotainment should show you all the apps on your phone (it mirrors your phone!) that can be used…. I’m guessing Mapy.com should be one of them

Or am I missing something 

[stani]

ninanina: yes, you're missing one thing. And that's having Mapy.com installed DIRECTLY in Honda.

Why is there an "application installer" at all if no applications can be installed?... 

Of course, I have Android Auto and I know it, but it's impractical, connecting it with a cable (it doesn't work over wifi on most), having to place the phone somewhere in signal reception, Honda doesn't want to connect with some phones or you have to restart ("triple touch"), etc.

[ninanina]

Sorry Stani I have no knowledge how you put an app on your Jazz as Ive never needed to use any apps in mine

I’m sure someone will come along with how to do it for you

There is an "application installer" in Jazz, but you can't install any applications. Unfortunately, there is no hack either.

This afternoon I start the car and drive (in the city), no "speed alarm" I look at the display and the indicator light for reading traffic signs is red - does anyone know what the red one means?
I haven't set or changed anything before.

Well, at least I had a free ride.   

On the next ride, it was back to “normal” (=so the roaring speed alarm).

It means the traffic sign recognition was (temporarily) disabled

On my 23 reg Crosstar, I get the speed limit rondels, which flash if I exceed them, but they are silent.

Today for a change this screen appeared while driving. I have no idea what the symbol in the middle of the screen and the yellow symbols on the left side are.

Again, I didn't set or change anything.

[Jazzik]

Maybe you should consult the owners manual?

I think it means the camera is disabled and the symbols on the left are the safety features that are temporarily not working, Lane keep assist, RDMS etc, often occurs in freezing snow conditions
