Honda Pilot adds Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

                

                One of the biggest selling features these days in a new automobile is the ability to pair your smartphone to your car, whether for music, navigation or hands free text and calling.  And now the 2017 Honda Pilot is answering that demand plus other great features.

                The 2017 Honda Pilot will pack both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto inside the Display Audio touchscreen infotainment system. Allowing your smartphone to pair with your car and allow hands free usage. The Pilot will still come in its same 5 trim levels, the LX, EX, EX-L, Touring and Elite. Packing the same whopping 280-horsepower V6 and coupled with either six or nine speed automatic transmission, depending on trim level.  Buyers will have to spend a bit more for the new 2017 Pilot, $200- $300 depending on the trim level that they choose.

               

             The new smartphone mirroring feature on the Pilot comes standard on all models except for the base LX model, but that is only because the LX has a smaller 5.0–inch touchscreen versus the other models having an 8.0-inch touchscreen on the dash board. Another cool feature on the new Pilots is the touchscreens have a different coating on them to minimize fingerprint smudges. High powered USB ports make it quick and easy to charge your devices. One of the most requested things about the new Pilot by owners is the combination of the White Diamond Pearl exterior matched with black interior on all trim levels, previously beige was the only interior available with the White Diamond Pearl Exterior. Different packages are available for upgrades on most models, some packages that come standard on the Elite and Touring models. Packages like the Honda Sensing package, rear-seat entertainment system and built in navigation.
