Good morning!
Shortly after switching from Android to CarPlay, I found that the iHeartRadio app would freeze when launching via CarPlay. Suspecting a software "glitch," I looked to perform a reboot of the infotainment system. I had done it previously via instructions found within another thread, but I had difficulty finding them until Insightfully pointed me to them (thank you, sir). I thought it would be best to have a dedicated thread for the procedure of rebooting the infotainment system. The following video shows the process for doing so with an Accord:
Since our Insights don't have the same shifter as a ICE-only Accord, it works a little differently, so here's the process written out so you can print and keep in your glove compartment:
Note current uptime:
Perform the reboot:
Verify reboot:
Troubleshooting:
Attached are the before and after photos of the up time screen from today's system reboot. The reboot did indeed resolve my CarPlay/iHeartRadio issue.

Since our Insights don't have the same shifter as a ICE-only Accord, it works a little differently, so here's the process written out so you can print and keep in your glove compartment:
Note current uptime:
Start car and visit this infotainment screen - Settings/System/About/Status - note the current "Up time"
Perform the reboot:
- Turn off car
- Perform the following in rapid procession:
- Foot on brake - turn on car - shift to reverse - shift to neutral (all this should occur well before the Honda logo appears on the display)
- When system boots, the "Ok" button should be grayed-out. This indicates the system is rebooting.
Verify reboot:
Once the system restarts, visit this infotainment screen - Settings/System/About/Status - and note the current "Up time" - It should show an up-time indicative of a recent system reboot.
Troubleshooting:
If the button is not greyed-out in line 4 of the reboot process, start the process again. In my experience, the first shift to reverse may require pressing the reverse button repeatedly until if finally shifts (timing is important). Once in reverse, immediately shift to neutral. Since the process must happen within the first second or two of switching on the ignition, it may take a try or two before it's successful.
