Founding Member Mazda Man Posted June 28, 2018 Founding Member Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Hi everyone, just looking around and happened upon an article and vid on You Tube about accessing a secret system menu via the navigation screen. Hmmm. So I pressed the three buttons required for above 5 seconds and lo and behind, there it is! From here you can look at various things, most of which apparently you should change like yaw settings for the AWD etc. Anyway, I went into the Navi System Link and apparently the AC and METER are red which means there’s a fault somewhere I then checked the AC menu and apparently too it’s DISCONNECTED, despite coming on when selected and blowing reasonably cold air? Any thoughts? Perhaps the codes needs to be checked for a relay or something? This is the initial menu you see when you access the menu, although this is from another Honda not mine, but it’s the same 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators hughezee Posted June 28, 2018 Administrators Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Good find lol although it's a standard diagnostic menu, also was the engine running and A.C switched on, just a thought buddy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founding Member Mazda Man Posted June 28, 2018 Author Founding Member Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 Yes again Guru Stu has cracked it. I was at Honda HQ earlier this evening and showed Stu the red error boxes above. Stu said “It’s probably because the ac isn’t on”, so I started the engine, turned the ac on and went to the secret menu and VOILA. They’re now green. Happy Days although I did tell Stu I knew that and I was testing him. ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted June 30, 2018 Moderators Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 I was going to suggest exactly what Stu did - was the engine/a-c running while accessing the menus? Simple reason being, the way most of these things are designed, if the item in question isn't running, it reports disconnected as it has no "live" data to work with. I have to admit, when i first saw "Secret Menu" i thought of this : The "Monster Mac" - https://secretmenus.com/mcdonalds/secret-menu/ I then wondered if Honda had found a way to order food from the Navi panel, that really would be awesome! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founding Member Brett Posted June 30, 2018 Founding Member Report Share Posted June 30, 2018 That’s the same menu in the 7th and 8th gen Geoff. Although I think I prefer Dave’s ? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
