Display Audio with HondaLink® plus Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ (EX and above)

What’s the Benefit?

The Display Audio enables users to engage their audio system as well as select mobile phone-based apps on a large, engaging and easy-to-use interface.

The Feature:

Most Accord trims feature Display Audio with an 8-inch high-resolution electrostatic touch-screen.

• It is the gateway to many audio sources, vehicle settings, Apple CarPlay™¹⁶, Android Auto™¹⁷ and HondaLink^®23 features—and, if equipped, the Garmin-based Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™³⁴.
• To take advantage of all the available features requires a connection between the system and the user’s smartphone via Bluetooth^®1 HandsFreeLink^® and a USB cable plugged into the USB Smartphone/Audio Interface².
• After connecting a compatible iPhone⁴⁶ or Android™⁴⁷ phone, the phone’s features populate on the Display Audio touch-screen—so there’s no need to ever touch the phone while driving.
• Control phone features hands-free—including music and messaging—using Siri^®28 or Talk to Google.
• It makes using the phone easier while also reducing the potential for driver distraction.
• Apple CarPlay™¹⁶ and Android Auto™¹⁷ are also compatible with a number of third-party smartphone apps like iHeart Radio.
• When downloaded to the user’s Android or iPhone, their icons will appear on the touch-screen and can be controlled by voice commands.
• Compatible phones include iPhone 5 and newer, and most Android phones with Lollipop or newer operating system (OS).

The HondaLink^®22 smartphone app suite of features includes service-appointment scheduling at Honda dealerships, location searches, weather information, service messages from Honda and much more.

• These features and services become available after downloading the HondaLink^® app from the App Store or Google Play, then pairing the user’s smartphone to their vehicle.
• Access HondaLink^® features in-car through the Display Audio or from anywhere else using the HondaLink^® smartphone app (cell signal required).
