As technology continues to improve nearly every sector of the economy, car manufacturers are sometimes at odds with one another on how to react to these innovations. Some companies will attempt to compete with them by offering different types of technical amenities to their customers. Others will integrate the technology that customers enjoy into their vehicles for a seamless and enjoyable experience. Honda is definitely the latter, and the 2016 debut of Apple CarPlay will prove this.
This smartphone-mirroring application will first debut in the Accord series, though other Hondas are planned to get the feature in the future. While this feature is one of the most high-tech ever used in a Honda, it is very user-friendly and can be picked up quick by those who are familiar with Apple devices. Designed to allow users to operate their device on a 7-inch touchscreen, a number of options are available.
Playing music, applying navigational system, making calls, and sending and receiving messages are easily accomplished by either touchscreen or by voice via Siri. This system does not alter the interface of an Apple device, so users can easily navigate and use their device just as they would normally. The only difference is the larger interface is much more convenient and safe to use in a vehicle.
Customers are becoming more accustomed to smartphone-powered lives. Given the popularity of this device, Honda’s decision to integrate it into their line of 2016 vehicles was easy. Honda strives not only to provide great features, but to provide ones which work well with the things that drivers already enjoy.
