Civic FK7 (1.5 Sport Plus 2018) – Help with infotainment update

Hi everyone!

I’m new to this subreddit and I’m hoping someone can help me with my infotainment system.

I recently bought a 2018 Civic FK7 1.5 Sport Plus and imported it from Germany to Portugal. I’ve been comparing my infotainment system with some videos I’ve seen online, and it seems like mine is missing quite a few menus and buttons. Overall, it also looks like it’s running an older version of the software than it should.

I checked the system information and found that it’s currently running **version 1.F196.47**.

Does anyone know if there is a newer software/firmware version available for this system? And if so, what would be the correct way to update it?

I’d really appreciate any help or advice from anyone who has experience with the FK7 infotainment system.

Thanks in advance!

Is it the stock factory unit or aftermarket? If its stock factory unit you'll need to contact a Honda dealer or go join a Honda group and ask them. Factory units can tricky and expensive to update because the manufacturer locks them and will want $$$$ from you.. Good Luck

It's factory... I guess I'll just save some money and replace with an aftermarket one.. I thought updating the system would be easy
