2016 Honda Accord smartphone compatibility

The automotive world has come a long way since the days when air conditioning was considered a premium feature, which means automakers have to put more and more thought into what it is that driver’s want and what should be a premium offering. With Americans spending hours each week behind the wheel, it only makes sense that we should want better connectivity on the go, and what safer way to stay connected than to have important apps in-dash, eliminating the need to look at our phones while driving? New 2016 Honda Accord smartphone compatibility will allow virtually any cellphone to be used in this refreshed model, giving drivers what they want for the new model year.

What phones work with the 2016 Honda Accord?

Though Honda has by no means been the sort of manufacturer which only offered proprietary connectivity, new features in the 2016 Honda Accord allow for improved functionality. Rather than having a select few apps, a world of features once limited to your smartphone screen are now available right in the 7-inch display. We aren’t allowed to say which applications work, but both Apple and Android features are compatible, making it compatible with the vast majority of popular phones on the market now.
