Steps to Connect Apple CarPlay®
- Before starting, ensure that your Honda model supports Apple CarPlay® and that your iPhone is running iOS 7.1 or later.
- Use an Apple-approved Lightning cable to connect your iPhone to the car’s USB port. Look for the USB port labelled with the CarPlay® icon or a smartphone icon.
- On your Honda’s infotainment screen, you might see a prompt asking you to enable Apple CarPlay®. Follow the on-screen instructions to allow CarPlay® access on your iPhone.
- Press and hold the voice command button on your steering wheel to activate Siri. Use voice commands to navigate, make calls, and send messages.
How to Connect to Android Auto™
- Ensure your Honda supports Android Auto™ and that your Android device has Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or higher.
- Use a USB cable to connect your Android phone to the car’s USB port labelled with the Android Auto™ or smartphone icon.
- Follow your phone’s on-screen prompts and the car’s infotainment system to complete the setup process. Grant the necessary permissions for Android Auto™ to access your phone’s features.
- Use Google Assistant by pressing and holding the voice command button on your steering wheel, enabling hands-free control for navigation, music, and communication.
