How to customize the images, buttons, skins, and more on the Honda Civic touch screen
This is a quick explanation on how to customize your Honda touch screen. I'm using a Honda Civic in this example. if you would like to change the skins, the buttons, the background image, or move to a live wallpaper I will show you how to do this.

This worked for my '19 civic Si. thanks man!!
Thank you for this, very helpful. On the secondary skin, the audio screen defaults to the tiles look, big buttons on the right and a very compressed music info on the left. Hitting the music info expands it to the entire screen and then you can get to the presets and I believe a few extra buttons depending on the source. Is there any way to default to that expanded screen instead of the "tiled" look? Thanks!
Thank you
Hello. I would like to know what does the symbol located at the upper center of the screen mean?? I had it in mine and it’s always blinking. Appreciate your reply. Thank you.

If you can not see the image you want to load, it may be that the USB drive is formatted funky. You can always reformat and try again. I would try changing skins, then changing your background image to see if it stays.

I havent been able to find a way to yet. I will say that there is a way easier way to change your wallpaper and live wallpaper. Drag from the top on any screen just to bring up your notification drawer just like if you would on android. When the drawer is pulled down on the top left you will see a settings icon. Click it and you will go straight to android settings instead of having to go thru Honda settings then to android settings.
