The 9-inch color touch-screen enables users to engage their audio system as well as select smartphone-based apps on a large, engaging and easy-to-use interface.


The Feature:

The CR-V EX-L, Sport-L Hybrid and Sport Touring Hybrid trims feature a 9-inch color touch-screen.

  • It is the gateway to many audio sources, vehicle settings, Apple CarPlay®16, Android Auto™17 and HondaLink®23 features—and on the Sport Touring, 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®—no cables required.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Android Auto™17 and Apple CarPlay®16 are also compatible with a number of 3rd-party smartphone apps like iHeartRadio54.

  • 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.
