Was wondering if somebody know if there is a workaround to have the App working in unsupported country like Iceland.
App is not available in Icelandic App store and not in USA App Store, have not tried UK App Store. But my credit card will probably be declined since it is registered in Iceland, but do you think i can activate NFC to unlock/lock the car with my iPhone if i am able to get the App?
Best regards from Iceland, will receive my Honda e Black in next week
Hi,
I dont think it will work. To get app/NFC and all that stuff to work the car needs to be activated.
1. Basically you need to download APP, setup an account then after that add car in app all the steps.
2. After step 1, the app will send a code to car for u to accept. Done.
For all this to work the car TCU/sim need to be activated and supported.
Do you know if Honda e in Iceland are supported?
Have you got a VPN such as Nord VPN? You could set your IP to, say, the UK and register there. Now, having said that, I live in the Channel Islands and the app did not work for nearly a year after purchasing the car (Sept 2020 delivery) but I now also have Nord VPN on my phone so it's fine. What I can't be sure of is whether the SIM in the car will be able to log on to the local networks in Iceland.
Keawon is right, TCU/eSIM might not even be activated in Iceland. It's the same here in Portugal. I've managed to get the App installed and registeres, but because the SIM is not activated when the car leaves the dealership you will never be able to Pair it.
For me (in Portugal) there is no support whatsoever for honda eSIM, so they can't activate it at all.
Don't fret about it ~ the poor quality of the software means you're not really missing out.
