Hello I have a 2016 fit lx and am having trouble connecting my phone through the hdmi cable. The cable is a brand new 4k cable i bought off amazon. when I connect my phone the screen remains black with no sound. when I connect my wifes phone it shows my wifes phone on half of the screen and the other have is black. it gives an error message that you can only see the first 2 words and any app i open on the phone doesnt show on the screen.
I am not sure if any app is needed to be installed for it to work.

Has anyone else had these problems or know how to get it working?

 

I also have not been able to connect my phone to the Fit. From Googling, it requires the older HondaLink Connect App, not the newer App. If you are able to make it work, please report back.

 

Id like to make mine work as well.

 

Im guessing this is a common problem. Im wondering if it's because there are some phones already set up on this device previous to myself having the vehicle.

 

How about connecting through Blue Tooth?

My phone connects through Blue Tooth in my Fit. No problems.

 

I can connect through Bluetooth for calls and music but not video. Can you get video through Bluetooth?

 

I tried hooking up my firestick to the hdmi and mirrored my phone through the fire stick and it worked. I rather directly plug in my phone but this is better then nothing. Now I have to figure out a way to keep the screen on while driving without having to go into the menus every time.
This is the link I used to help me


If someone figures out a better way to do this please let me know.

 

i have a '19 LX and the HDMI has never worked , not a big deal but it would be convenient

 

The touch screen was never built to watch videos while driving.

Besides,

Why would you put your safety at risk?

 

I want to use it as a GPS not to watch videos

 

You can use your phone GPS via Bluetooth on your touch screen. Mine works perfectly.

 

It doesn't work for me. When I go on Bluetooth I only get sound. Maybe I am doing it wrong

 

Have a walktrough?

 

You have to sync your phone to the car screen via Bluetooth.

 

My phone is connected for bluetooth calls but wont work for videos. I get this message

 

The Fit screen isn't designed to play videos for safety reasons.

 

It is when it's stopped. I only want to use it for gps. It works with a fire stick but would prefer without using the firestick

 

Just use your phone as your GPS.

Forget about using the Fit screen for a GPS.

 

Well geeze thanks mom for not attempting to solve the problem.
