9-inch Color Touch-Screen with HondaLink® plus Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ Compatibility

What’s the Benefit?

The 9-inch color touch-screen 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 a 9-inch color touch-screen.

  • It is the gateway to many audio sources, vehicle settings, Apple CarPlay®16, Android Auto17 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®.
  • After pairing a compatible iPhone46 or Android™47 phone, 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 Auto17 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 Marshmallow 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 9-inch color touch-screen or from anywhere else using the HondaLink® smartphone app (cell signal required).
