Scott Robinson Honda Confirms, New HondaLink™ Connected Car System is Unveiled

July 24, 2012 - PRLog -- Scott Robinson Honda confirms, Honda has unveiled HondaLink™, a new in-vehicle connectivity system that will debut this fall on the all-new, ninth-generation 2013 Honda Accord.
   
Featuring the first automotive OEM application of Aha™ by Harman, HondaLink™ will provide a personalized experience connecting drivers to thousands of cloud-based news, information and media feeds from around the world, using an intuitive, audio-system based interface.
   
Honda's intuitive new HondaLink™ smartphone application allows owners to preset content on their phone. Once in the car, consumers can enjoy personalized content accessible via voice recognition, steering wheel mounted controls and in-dash audio system controls. With a tethered smartphone serving as a conduit to a wealth of cloud-based media, HondaLink™ creates a unique, connected driving experience.

Through the Aha service, for example, HondaLink™ users can listen to Facebook and Twitter audio newsfeeds, podcasts from NPR, location-based personalized restaurant listings from Yelp!, and access internet music services such as Slacker. The service is free and instantly accessible from the cloud.

Aha delivers a user-friendly experience requiring infrequent smartphone software updates, with in-vehicle content and channel access updating simply and automatically throughout the vehicle life. And content available from HondaLink™ will grow as the system continues to expand its services for Honda owners. HondaLink will also incorporate Pandora Internet radio and voice-to-text SMS text services with pre-programmed responses, which Honda introduced on the 2012 CR-V.

With its support of local charities and environmental causes, Scott Robinson Honda has established itself as an integral part of the community, and has received industry wide recognition for its commitment to Green practices.
