Chosen Solution
I have a 2014 HONDA City. One of the I/O interfaces is an HDMI port. This allows some apps to run on the screen (E.g. Waze, AppRadio etc). How can I update the Infotainment System for compatibility with CarPlay? Is there a way to get the full CarPlay functionality? How can I update my infotainment system to a newer version? The issue is that I am currently living in UAE, and the dealerships/service providers do not know anything about CarPlay, let alone help me with this question.
After a long search, it turns out that this system can’t simply be updated via software to include CarPlay or Android Auto. However I found an alternative which is decent, but not perfect. https://www.navtool.com/carplay.aspx I’m not sure if there are other systems like this out there, and I have also yet to try this personally. But it’s a good workaround if you want to try it yourself. (got this solution thanks to Reddit)
Honda says its a new system and you can not update. Is that true.
