Honda’s vehicles are continuously leading the auto world when it comes to technology, and the 2016 Honda HR-V HondaLink telematics is proof of that. Found on EX and EX-L Navi model, HondaLink brings state-of-the-art telematics to your fingertips with the 7-inch Display Audio touchscreen infotainment system. HondaLink is based on the Aha interface and brings your social media, digital radio, podcasts, and more directly into your vehicle. HondaLink serves as your personal concierge, informing you of any local spots you might want to check out, offering personalized news updates, and can help save a life with the available emergency services notification system.
The app-based interface makes using the HondaLink system intuitive while seamlessly connecting your HR-V to your smartphone and vice versa. Some of the key benefits of the HondaLink telematics include:
Locations: Find the right restaurant when you’re out and about or let HondaLink find you something fun to do. The Locations app puts points of interest directly at your fingertips—and don’t worry, you can save them for later, too.
Aha: Add radio stations, music, social media, and more—as many as 35 presets—to the HR-V, so that you can instantly cue up NPR, your favorite tunes, or see what’s going on through your social media accounts once you get in the driver’s seat.
Messages: Texting and driving is beyond dangerous, but sometimes you need to receive important messages while you’re on the go. The Messages app lets HondaLink automatically read texts and emails for you; you won’t even have to get out your phone.
HondaLink Assist: With all of these high-tech gadgets at your disposal, it’s important to devote some of them to safety. HondaLink assist can pair your vehicle automatically to an operator in the event of an accident or notify the authorities and have them on their way.
