What’s the Benefit?

The Display Audio enables users to engage their audio system and Web content on a large, engaging and easy-to-use interface.


The Feature:

Select CR-V trims feature Display Audio with a 7-inch electrostatic touch-screen.

  • The Display Audio screen provides smartphone-like functionality, such as pinching to zoom in and out, and swiping to scroll.
  • 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 labeled with the phone icon in the console storage compartment.

  • Control phone features—including music and messaging—without touching the phone by using Siri® or Google Voice.
  • It makes using the phone easier while also reducing the potential for driver distraction.
  • Android Auto™17 and Apple CarPlay™16 are also compatible with a number of 3rd-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).
  • Display Audio with the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™, standard on Touring trims, incorporates a graphic interface and functionality developed in association with Garmin.
