Honda has unveiled HondaLink, a new cloud-based in-car infotainment system that will make its debut in the new Honda Accord set to be launched in the US later this year. HondaLink will be Honda’s answer to competing systems like Ford Sync, BMW ConnectedDrive, etc.
HondaLink is based on an OEM application of Harman’s Aha service. You use a HondaLink smartphone app to preset content on your smartphone, and then once you’re in your car, your smartphone will feed these settings to the HondaLink system. You can then enjoy personalized content accessible via voice recognition, steering-wheel mounted controls and in-dash audio system controls. HondaLink accesses the internet via tethering on your smartphone.
Some internet services that you can access in your car include Facebook and Twitter audio newsfeeds, podcasts from NPR, location-based personalized restaurant listings from Yelp!, and access internet music services such as Slacker. HondaLink will also incorporate Pandora internet radio and voice-to-text SMS text services with pre-programmed responses.

ProtonIHelpYouHelpMe.
You heard it first here. :)
US maybe lah….but malaysia unlikely. Current accord doeent even have navi screen as standard. Well maybe things will change with new model but get ready to fork out extra 5k
sweet!!
it is stunningly ridiculous considering that we cannot talk on the mobile, putting lipsticks, having bjobs titsjb the lot, kissing, etc and now we have these kind infotainment system in cars nowadays that we can use for FACEBOOKING or tweeting while the car moves.
thank you mr anwar.
Whats on toyota then? Uncle don’t need such feature?
Why infotainment! Y U NO ESC?
Very soon, new Honda Accord 2013 will be here in Malaysia, my opinion, new Accord interior much better and ‘normal’ than new Civic…
At least they’re moving in the right direction as far as in-car entertainment goes…
