Will the 2024 Honda Prologue come with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto?

Honda has never been a brand that strictly adheres to industry trends. Just look at the Honda Odyssey for the perfect example. As automakers all across the country began phasing out their minivans, Honda not only continued producing the Odyssey but improving and perfecting it as well. Now, as other brands have announced they’ll be phasing out two of the most popular infotainment technologies of the past decade – Apple CarPlay and Android Auto – particularly in their upcoming all-electric vehicles, Honda has made sure consumers know that the highly anticipated 2024 Honda Prologue will come with compatibility for both right out the gate! Not only that, but the Prologue will also feature wireless Google built-in.

What are Apple CarPlay & Android Auto?

Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto have been huge features circulating the automotive industry as a whole for several years. They’ve even seen improvements and enhancements of their own, such as now offering wireless versions of each in many new vehicles. Each of these technologies allows you to connect your smartphone – your iPhone with the former or Android phone with the latter – to your vehicle.

The original technologies did this via a wired connection, but the more recent wireless versions of each enable you to connect your phone to the infotainment system of your vehicle without ever taking it out of your pocket or purse. This allows you to harness many of the technologies found in your phone to use hands-free while driving, such as having access to your contacts to make phone calls through the car’s sound system or utilizing navigation if your vehicle doesn’t come with it itself, or even ordering a Domino’s pizza!

What is wireless Google built-in?

Wireless Google built-in is a very similar technology, though it doesn’t require a smartphone. This feature, which was initially found in the 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid, enables you to utilize several Google apps from Google Play through your infotainment system, such as Google Assistant and Google Maps. The incredible thing about Google Maps being at your fingertips in an EV like the Honda Prologue is that it is capable of optimizing the route you take with charging stations in mind, just in case you need some extra battery life while you’re on the go.

These are just a few of the incredible technologies that will come standard in the 2024 Honda Prologue, so don’t hesitate to give us a call if you’re interested in learning more!
