Display Audio with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ Integration

What’s the Benefit?
The Display Audio enables users to engage their audio system and Web content on a large, easy-to-use interface to help stay connected to their world while mitigating the potential for driver distraction.

The Feature:
The Clarity features Display Audio with an 8-inch electrostatic touch-screen.

• It is the gateway to many audio sources, vehicle settings, Apple CarPlay^®16, Android Auto™¹⁷ integration 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 left-hand USB Smartphone/Audio Interface² in the center stack.
  
  • After pairing a compatible iPhone^®46 or Android™⁴⁷ phone to the Display Audio, some of the phone’s features can populate on the touch-screen.
  • So there’s no need to ever touch the phone while driving.
• You can control phone features, including music and messaging, hands-free using Siri^®28 or the Google Assistant. It makes using the phone easier and reduces the potential for driver distraction.
• Android Auto™¹⁷ and Apple CarPlay^®16 are also compatible with a number of third-party smartphone apps like iHeartRadio⁵⁴; when downloaded to the user’s Android™⁴⁷ phone or iPhone^®46, their icons will appear on the touch-screen and can be controlled by voice commands.
• Display Audio with the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™³⁴ incorporates a graphic interface and functionality developed in association with Garmin.
  
  • The Display Audio screen provides smartphone-like functionality, such as pinching to zoom in and out, swiping to scroll and tapping or sliding for volume control.
  • And the Clarity Fuel Cell system’s database features location data and mapping for hydrogen stations as well.
