Honda has announced it's new infotainment system that will debut in the 2013 Accord and 2013 Crosstour.  HondaLink is similar to competing companies infotainment offering such as, Ford sync, BMW iDrive, or Mercedes Comand. 

HondaLink uses your smart phone to connect to the internet & provides a wide range of services, like news & sports feeds, point of interest search, Facebook & twitter updates,  text to voice, & internet radio, with more features set for future release. The system can be accessed by voice commands, steering wheel or the in dash controls.  This is thanks in part to a partnership with aha radio. “Honda’s strategy is about leveraging the cloud to bring a wealth of new information and services to Honda owners,” said Jamieson. “This is the next evolution of the connected car and the connected customer.” Through the Aha service, for example, HondaLink users can listen to Facebook and Twitter audio news feeds, podcasts from NPR, location-based personalized restaurant listings from Yelp!, and access internet music services such as Slacker. The service is free and instantly accessible from the cloud. HondaLink will also incorporate voice-to-text SMS text services with pre-programmed responses, which Honda introduced on the 2012 CR-V.
