Honda Introduces 2016 Civic With CarPlay and Android Auto Support

Honda on Wednesday at YouTube Space LA introduced the redesigned 2016 Civic with CarPlay and Android Auto support. The tenth-generation sedan will be the second Honda vehicle to support CarPlay alongside the 2016 Accord as the Japanese car maker continues its 2016 vehicle rollout.

Apple has listed Honda as a CarPlay partner on its website for quite some time, but the car maker waited until its 2016 lineup to introduce the iPhone-based dashboard system. GM is also supporting CarPlay and Android Auto in 2016 across its Chevrolet, Cadillac, Corvette, Buick and GMC vehicle brands.

CarPlay connects to iPhone and provides hands-free or eyes-free access to Maps, Phone, Messages, Music, Podcasts and third-party apps such as Spotify, Rdio, iHeartRadio, CBS Radio and MLB At Bat. The in-dash software uses Siri and also interfaces with your vehicle's knobs, dials and buttons.

Someday cars will have updates to onboard systems to give you the freedom of new options without having to buy a new car to get it. Perhaps I am dreaming, naturally...

The Apple Maps should be a huge upgrade from the Honda Maps GPS.

Are you serious?
Yes, I have had the Honda maps direct me to some random gas station that was 2,000 miles away when I was looking for the nearest gas station. The interface is just terrible. Maybe it was improved recently and I am not aware of those improvements.
