Exciting news for all of you iPhone users in the greater Fairfield area: the convenience of Siri is now going to be more accessible and easy to use while embarking on future driving adventures. As Honda recently partnered with Apple, it will now be integrating Siri into some of its new Honda vehicles.
With the addition of Siri, Honda plans to combine it with the "Eyes Free" mode that will allow it to have complete hands-free functionality. This will prevent the iOS screen from lighting up while in use, to further reduce distractions while driving. With voice activation, you will be able to look up directions or ask Siri for suggestions on places to stop for a bite to eat. She will surely make navigating unknown areas much easier and relaxing.
Siri will operate by using the on board microphone and speaker system included in models like the new 2013 Honda Accord, one of the first models to be integrating this technology.
"iPhone has become so integral to people's lives that they continue to use them in their vehicles," says the Assistant Vice President of Automobile Product Planning at American Honda, Viki Poponi. Offering Honda and Acura owners Siri and its "Eyes Free" mode via Bluetooth is an incredible opportunity to provide next-generation connectivity and meet our customer's ever-changing needs."
Honda has really demonstrated its commitment to keeping drivers safe on the road by offering them these latest innovations. Here at Steve Hopkins Honda we are looking forward to seeing Siri integration become a more fundamental part of the vehicles in our showroom. To find out more, simply ask Siri and she will perhaps direct you to visit 2499 Auto Mall Pkwy Fairfield, CA 94533 where we can set you up for a test drive with any of our great new and used Honda models. Let us change your driving experience today, with a vehicle filled with the latest features!
