Display Audio with HondaLink® plus Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ Integration

What’s the Benefit?

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:

The Civic Type R features 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, the 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.
• After pairing a compatible iPhone⁴⁶ or Android™⁴⁷ phone to Display Audio, the phone’s features populate on the touch-screen—so there’s no need to ever touch the phone while driving.
• The driver can control phone features hands-free—including music and messaging—using Siri^®28 or The Google Assistant.
• 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 phone or iPhone^®, their icons will appear on the touch-screen and their functions 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).
