Honda has launched a new mobile phone app called Honda Connect for Android and iOS users. This app is free and “enables new form of communication between the customer, car, his family and Honda,” said the company in a statement. The app which is integrated with the car through a Connected Device, offers real time information on impact alert, trip analysis, vehicle health monitoring and car location to name a few.

Honda Connect is an intelligent automotive application for smart phones to form an even closer connection with users. Using smartphones, Honda Connect’s diverse features provide convenient access to detailed information about Honda vehicles and other services. The Connected Car features, supported by Honda Connect, will give Honda customers important information about their car even when they are not with it and provide extreme sense of safety and security.

This “Connected Device” to enable the Connected Car features has been developed by Minda i-Connect and is being offered at the Honda dealerships exclusively to all new customers of Honda Jazz, Honda City and Honda CR-V at an introductory price by Honda’s subsidiary for accessory business – Honda Access India Pvt. Ltd.

Speaking about the all-new information platform, Mr. Katsushi Inoue, President & CEO, Honda Cars India Ltd. said, “Today technology has become an integrated part of our lives. The development of Honda Connect is part of our mission to create innovations that best suit our customers’ digital-based life styles. This platform offers a value added communications channel that bonds Honda even more closely with our customers.”

The launch of Honda Connect marks the celebration of HCIL’s 20th anniversary of incorporation in which the company has achieved cumulative sales of more than 1 Mn units. Reinforcing Honda’s image as an advanced technology brand, this innovative information platform will meet the evolving needs of today’s tech-savvy, always-connected consumers and assist them with all forms of Service and Utility support.

The Honda Connect application is available on iOS* and Android* platforms for free download from the Apple App Store and Google Play for everyone in the country.
