HONDA ADDS ANDROID AUTO
H
onda’s flagship mobile tech-fest gains
added compatibility moving forward,
with the Gold Wing set to gain Android
Auto starting mid-June.
Owners with Android smartphones will be
able to enjoy application services seamlessly
such as music, phone calls and messaging.
Honda says the method to update software is
planned to be available in the middle of June.
The Gold Wing series has evolved as Honda’s
flagship model for over four decades. In 2017,
the then all-new Gold Wing became the world’s
first motorcycle with Apple CarPlay integration.
Just like the Apple CarPlay system, Android
Auto is a simple, safe way to use your phone
on the motorcycle. With simplified interface,
and easy-to-use voice actions, it is designed
to minimise distraction so you can stay
focused on the road. Android Auto makes it
easy to access music, media, and messaging
apps on your motorcycle.
With Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
integration coming to more models in the
wider lineup, Honda plans to bring more
comfort and convenience to customers’
motorcycle experience worldwide.
