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:

Select Civic Hatchback trims feature Display Audio with a 7-inch 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 Audio Interface2 in the center stack.
  • The Civic Display Audio supports both Apple CarPlay™16 and Android Auto™17.
  • After pairing a compatible iPhone46 or Android™47 phone to the Display Audio, the phone’s features populate on the 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).
