Thanks see you just taught me how to steal my mother's car, now all I need to do is just put it in neutral and let it roll down the driveway then start the car up thank you

Just to let you know you can use an EX remote fob so you can use the remote start feature! It works on lx & sports models

You don’t have to use a flat head. Your key in the fob itself fits in there.

Please post a video to prove your point Pronto. I needed a skinny little flathead in mine as well.

It's easy to find the location of that switch in the 2018 Accord owners manual. pretty sure they give you a page number in the glossary or index.

This helped so much. It worked great. I think you need to use a different title. It took about 7 other you tube searches on this topic to find one that showed where shifter release was on my 2019 Honda accord. You should use something like "stuck shift lever release on 2019 Honda accord"

Thanks man for the advice. I added the key words 👍🏻

If your fob batt is dead and you still have the key, you can remove the key and press the lever with the key

Reminds me of the operation that I used to have to do on my 92 Acura Integra when I couldn't get the ignition key to come out and the automatic transmission would not shift out of park. There was a somewhat more accessible slot in the console next to the shifter. That operation did NOT always work. In which case you could not leave the car and you could start it, but you could not select any gear....still stuck in PARK.

That stinks. I know. I’m used to seeing a covered slot next to the shifter and wondered why all of a sudden it’s gone.

They put it there because in the old model people use get dirt in them causing the switch to get dirty it should be in your owners manual under towing, also a neat trick is hold the unlock button on the remote to lower the windows outside the car and sometimes even opens sunroof if you hold the lock it will closed it

I didn’t have a flat head but I used the actual key and stuck it the hole to switch gears. Thanks for the help

Now find the shift interlock location for me in a 2019 Pilot with the 9 speed transmission lol. It's in the cup holder area btw but anywho..... It's not really hidden or a secret, it's covered in your owners manual and all vehicles with an auto trans have to have some kind of interlock for moving the car if it can't power itself. Sorry for rambling, I'm a Honda tech and I'm bored lol.

Anyone know how to hack the head unit on the 2018 Accord Touring? All I want to do is turn off the "motion assist" feature that disables many functions of the head unit once the unit senses motion. Really annoying. I thought in the prior generation you could do that via the hidden screen... But I don't see a way yo do it my my 2018/current generation Accord. Any suggestions?

I think Apple CarPlay is worthless at best, and a real annoyance most of the time. The only convenience it adds (for me) is to display google maps or Spotify on the LCD...but...by doing this, it makes entering in destinations, etc., and browsing through playlists significantly harder and more cumbersome. I normally unplug my phone to put in a location or find a playlist, then plug it back in-that’s how worthless I find Apple CarPlay. It also requires your phone to be plugged into a lightening cable, which is a further hassle. Bluetooth sync for music is way better, and simply get a phone mount that puts your phone into your line of sight for maps and music. The absolute best solution would be a new iPad Mini 5 with cellular. Just suction cup that fkn thing to the old LCD screen (or to the side). You’d instantly have a far more responsive and elegant solution for maps and music. I can’t stand in-car navigation systems from almost every brand. They are crap compared to an iPhone or iPad.
