Send me a PM. I just downloaded the manual pages for it.Did u figure it out. Wanting to remove the screen in my 2019 clarity to replace leather pic above insterment cluster and housing.
These are not just displays... They are Android tablets loaded with software unique to the vehicle.I'd be interested in finding out whether the screen is plug compatible with the newer Accord screens
What's so hard? Extract the APK and install it on the new tablet. My guess is that they probably sourced the head unit/radio from the same company (Mitsubishi?), which tried to keep them as compatible as possible to minimize development costs. The Clarity uses the same system as the older CRV and Civic. The current Accord tablets are probably just a newer generation of their old ones, not a completely different architecture.These are not just displays...

You would truly be a guru if you could find a way to port all of this software over from the Clarity to an Accord Infotainment console (even if you were lucky enough that these two tablets were plug-in compatible from a hardware standpoint).
OK, prove me wrong !!!What's so hard?

APK's get installed on Android devices, but you can't create an APK from an installed image...
Anyway this was all in response to your earlier point that you can't create an APK out of and installed image, which is wrong.
The tablet may have dozens of installed apps but most of them are going to be known Android apps. I'm saying I would create individual APKs for any app that wasn't a recognized Android app, and then go through those app to one by one installing them on a device and seeing what they are.

Well, the android apps need to get the information from the car’s internals, don’t they? And this whole unit must be running some version of Android custom engineered for Clarity and the head unit.
This Android OS should exactly know the hardware peripherals of Clarity and thus communicate and present the data via apps properly.
Unless one can reverse engineer and obtain the source code for the Android OS, modify this for the new Accord’s head unit and reflash it, I don’t see a way.

That's not how any of that works.
Did you not actually bother to read what you quoted in your previous post?So, enlighten me?
If you get hold of an unit from a newer accord, assuming hardware connections are matching with clarity’s, how will the software in head unit recognize information from Clarity?
