Exciting Wireless Apple CarPlay Update for Recent Honda Owners
Honda has recently announced an exciting upgrade for owners of 2018-2022 Honda Accords, making wireless Apple CarPlay available. This enhancement means drivers can now enjoy the convenience of CarPlay without the need for a physical connection, simply by using their phone’s wireless capability. This move is sure to delight many Honda Accord owners and sets a positive example for other automakers to consider similar upgrades.
Apple CarPlay, initially introduced in 2014, revolutionized in-car infotainment by allowing seamless integration with iPhones through large icons, voice commands, and text reading features. Originally available on limited models, CarPlay quickly gained popularity among various manufacturers, including Ferrari, Kia, Hyundai, GM, Mercedes-Benz, and VW. Honda initially included CarPlay in higher trim levels but is now extending this feature to older models via a dealership-installed upgrade.
Starting in early 2024, Honda will provide a dedicated portal for Accord owners to request the wireless CarPlay upgrade. A brief visit to the dealership will be required to complete the installation, offering an easy way to enhance the driving experience. This development could pave the way for other Honda models and brands to adopt similar upgrades, improving overall vehicle connectivity and user satisfaction.
