Honda introduced Tuesday plans to supply a dealer-installed software program improve for Honda Accords that can allow wi-fi Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for fashions not initially outfitted with the function. The improve is accessible for 2018 to 2022 model-year Accords and can value $112 plus any labor fees incurred on the vendor.

The improve is accessible to any 2018-2022 Accord that was outfitted with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto from the manufacturing unit. Honda estimates there are round 631,000 Accords within the United States which can be eligible. The firm says this program is a part of its sustainability effort that seeks to “maximize lifetime value of in-market Honda vehicles by offering upgrades and new digital services.”

This software program improve comes as Honda and its closest competitor, Toyota, introduce new certified pre-owned programs that supply warranties for vehicles up to 10 years old with 125,000 miles on the clock. 

Honda says the software program improve will be put in at any licensed vendor now, a spokesperson confirmed to Motor1.

“This quick software update enables customers to leverage hardware already in their Honda vehicle to enjoy seamless connectivity through wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto,” Jay Joseph, vp of the Sustainability & Business Development Division at American Honda Motor Co., Inc., stated in a statement. “Enhancing the ownership experience and market value of Honda vehicles already in use is a key strategy in pursuit of our goal to have zero environmental impact by 2050.”

Not all 2018-2022 Accord homeowners should pay for wi-fi CarPlay as a standalone expense. Honda says the software program improve can be put in at no additional cost on each qualifying mannequin that is offered as an authorized pre-owned car. So for those who purchase an eligible used Accord from the vendor, the function will already be put in.
