Mobile devices have permeated nearly every aspect of our
daily lives, and automakers have noticed. Wednesday, Honda introduced
HondaLink, a new in-vehicle connectivity system that will debut on the 2013
Honda Accord this fall. The service will integrate cloud-based news,
information and media using an audio-based system interface with Aha radio by
Harman included.
"HondaLink will enable customers to put away their
phone and still stay connected to the people, music and media they love,"
said Vicki Poponi, assistant vice president of product planning for American
Honda, in a released statement. "By creating an intuitive and customizable
user interface, HondaLink allows drivers to access digital content as easily as
choosing a radio station."
The premise of the HondaLink system is to allow owners to
preset content on their phone and then enjoy personalized content accessible
via voice recognition, steering-wheel mounted controls and in-dash audio system
controls once in the vehicle. A connected smartphone will serve as a conduit to
cloud-based media, according to Honda, allowing the HondaLink to make a
connected driving experience one-of-a-kind.
According to Honda, with the Aha service HondaLink users can
listen to Facebook and Twitter audio newsfeeds, podcasts, location-based
personalized restaurant listings from Yelp!, and internet music services from
Slacker.
Honda has big plans for the HondaLink system, with updates
and growing content throughout the life of the vehicle and system. Software
updates for the smartphone used in the HondaLink system will keep the
experience user-friendly, Honda says, with Pandora internet radio and
voice-to-voice SMS text services with pre-programmed responses integrated into
the system as well.
The video below provides an explanation for the HondaLink
system.
