Sorry to hear another report of CarPlay problems. I am also about to embark on a few road trips, so I like the idea of having a small emergency USB keyboard. Something like this looks promising:

https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Vive-Comb-Rechargable-Tablet-Black/dp/B07LCH6LP4

Still searching around.
I wonder if the keyboard could reboot system using bluetooth or has to be just usb. The reason I ask is the one your were looking at is dual and I was trying to save myself money by using an old bluetooth one I had for my i pad. Just thinking out loud...
 
I’m hoping I don’t have to resort to that. The ability to use Waze was one of the reasons I traded in my old Pilot. I’d be willing to cart around a cheap USB keyboard if that really works to reboot the system.

My PP has 5,500 miles on it, and almost always using CarPlay apps. This is the first problem I’ve had.

I’ll be interested in what the dealer tells me.
Curious what is your oil life at? Also some found wait until infotainment comes on before initiating Waze. Might help in future.

Thanks
 
I’ll have to wait until I get the car back to check on oil life. Are you thinking the maintenance notification may be triggering this? Seems like it’s happening a lot to people that haven’t had their vehicles as long as I have.

I try to “swipe up” on Waze when I leave the car so it’s not running in the background, but rarely remember to do that. May need to be more diligent in doing so in the future.
No I was curious for my own knowledge about oil life. Trying to figure out mileage when the light will populate.
Thanks
 
1st week of ownership, was using Waze via Apple Carplay and ended up freezing the infotainment unit. It seemingly happened at random. I did not provide any user input and was using Waze and Amazon Prime Music Streaming at the time of the occurrence. I too received an audible beep and then silence. At this point, I couldn't even use the AM/FM radio ("App" wouldn't load) function but oddly enough, I still retained usage of Sirius sat radio and most of the menu navigation control but nothing else would load. After arriving at my work, when I turned off the engine and opened the door, I noticed that the infotainment unit did not power down. Later in the day, I did some research on other forums and to your comment, found the thread on using a USB keyboard. (Sidenote: Another work around was to turn down the screen brightness to the off position until you can properly reboot the unit.) I grabbed one from the office, plugged it in the USB port, did the ol' Cntrl+Alt+Del and the infotainment unit went through the reboot sequence and was working fine after that.

After some additional forum research, I too found that Apple Carplay in general has been historically buggy with not only the Honda Infotainment units which makes sense that essentially you're trying to marry 2 software systems to each other which is often times is a mixed bag of results for the consumer.

Because of my worry of battery drain should I dare to use Waze/Carplay while on a roadtrip, I'm thinking of experimenting with finding a portable/folding USB keybaord to enable me to manually reboot the infotainment unit should experience this again outside of my home area.
 
Greetings Red Suns,
You saved my vacation. My journey started in the bay area. I was doing well with my preparations because my A1 maintenance minder came on Friday night. Just a couple of days before we were going to embark on our vacation. Therefore, we had time for my little guy to get his oil changed, tires rotated and a bath.
He was still dirty from our Tahoe bike riding adventure. We were headed down to Del Mar to bet on the ponies, cheer on our finally 500 Giants +2 over and surf. My surf board attached perfectly and there was very little noise coming into cabin and stayed on the whole ride... I was a little OCD looking at it through the moon roof. Stopped at Black Bear dinner and fueled up the little guy before hitting the grape vine. Little guy was a beast over the vine. Then I thought my little guy has been problem free so I will plug in waze to our infotainment system. Life was going well because got off of 5 and found a better path to the beach. Then the beep happened and everything was ok but then the beep happened again. Still fine but then I unplugged car play because got back onto 5 after not too much of a circuitous route and decided to go back to garmin navigation. Well then the navigation system would not chirp to me and just showed the car. Was not too concerned but then when finally made it to our destination the infotainment system would not turn off and the backup camera was not working. But luckily, I remembered your post and ran to target because was going to close at 11:00. Got my 8.99 keyboard ( on clearance) and I am operational again. Sorry for being so verbose but want others to know my experience. And I should have been a better boyscout like Homer and had one handy in my car. Thanks to you I get to enjoy my waves instead of getting my car towed do to a dead battery.
High Five!

I felt usb keyboard was easier then pulling out fuse 29. Hopefully, they send out an OTA update but think nothing will happen if anything until next IOS update I believe 13 comes out. I believe it is in beta trial right now. I have been playing on safe side and using waze through Bluetooth. Just get sound on infotainment and keep map open on phone. Not ideal but always get worried that infotainment system might totally crash. Question did you hear 2 pops before infotainment system went crazy? Target has the the keyboard with usb included. It was a little big but 11:00 pm at night when my conundrum happened, I was happy! Keep us in the loop. We can be #wazedwrong group! Augh!
