How to Connect Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

Apple CarPlay in a 2021 Honda Accord

When Redmond customers get behind the wheel of their new Honda vehicles, learning how to connect Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is usually one of the very first tasks they tackle. After all, these integrated smartphone apps put everything you need right at your fingertips. And luckily, Honda vehicles make smartphone integration simple for even the least tech-savvy driver around Woodinville. Take a look at the steps below, and feel free to reach out to our service department at Honda of Kirkland with any questions in the Seattle area! 


How to Connect Apple CarPlay

Before you begin, make sure that you have a compatible iPhone. If you have an iPhone 5 or higher, you’re good to go! Go to “Settings” and “Siri & Search,” and turn on the Siri function. Then follow these steps:

  1. Plug your phone into your CarPlay USB Port. Look for the CarPlay logo.
  2. Go to “Settings” and then click “General” and “CarPlay”. Choose your vehicle from the “Available Cars” list.
  3. Hold the Voice Control button on your steering wheel or hold the CarPlay Home button on your touchscreen.
  4. Siri will appear, and you should be ready to use the Apple CarPlay features.

How to Connect Android Auto

What if you have an Android-based smartphone instead? You’re in luck. Learning how to connect Android Auto is just as easy as learning how to connect Apple CarPlay. You’ll need to run Android 5.0 (Lollipop) or higher, though Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) is recommended at minimum for the best performance possible.

  1. Go to your car’s settings. Make sure Android Auto is enabled.
  2. Download the Android Auto app from Google Play or plug your phone into the car’s USB port.
  3. Unlock your phone screen.
  4. Review the safety information and app permissions.
  5. Turn on notifications for Android Auto.
  6. Select Android Auto, and start to explore the features!

Our Service Specials

Cabin Air Filter Replacement

$10 Off

Your vehicle’s cabin air filter helps remove allergens, particulates, and odors from the interior of your vehicle, keeping things nice and fresh. The cabin air filter also helps keep your interior clean, by removing dust from the air. Like all filters, your Honda’s cabin air filter will become clogged over time. As the filter becomes clogged, it will work less efficiently…you’ll get less airflow, more dust, more odors, etc.

If you suffer from allergies, asthma, or a great sense of smell, you NEED to replace your Honda’s Cabin Air Filter on a regular basis. And an OEM replacement is best, as Honda specifies the amount of filtration for each specific system. Some after-market filters are too light, meaning they won’t filter enough air. Other filters are too heavy, which will strain your vehicle’s HVAC system.

Prices may vary by model. Plus taxes and fees where applicable. Please present coupon during write-up. Not to be combined with any other discounts.
