HondaLink Connected Car System Powered by Harman’s Aha
Honda yesterday unveiled HondaLink, a new in-vehicle connectivity system powered by Harman’s Aha. The system will debut this fall on the new 2013 Honda Accord.

The HondaLink smartphone application allows owners to preset content on their phone. Once in the car, drivers can enjoy personalized content accessible via voice recognition, steering-wheel mounted controls and in-dash audio system controls.

Through the Aha voice service users will be able to listen to Facebook and Twitter audio feeds, podcasts from NPR, nearby restaurant listings from Yelp!, and access internet music services such as Slacker.

The connectivity is brought to the car via a tethered smartphone. The system works with iOS and Android.

The HondaLink family also includes HondaLink EV, specifically designed for the all-new Fit EV all-electric vehicle and the upcoming Accord Plug-In Hybrid. HondaLink EV will be connected to the cloud via an embedded wireless modem.
