Honda Mall of Georgia: HondaLink helps with hands free


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.
