Honda to Bring Android Auto Integration to Africa Twin
Markham, ON. February
11, 2021
– Honda announced today that Android Auto™ has been integrated with current
Africa Twin models (2020 and newer).
As
has already been the case with Gold Wing models since summer 2020, Africa Twin
customers with Android 5.0 or later smartphones and the Android Auto app are
now able to seamlessly enjoy application services including music, phone calls
and messaging, at no additional cost.
To
utilize Android Auto with Africa Twin models, a Bluetooth® headset is also
required (sold separately). App and communication costs may apply.
The
CRF1100L Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES and standard Africa Twin are highly
advanced adventure motorcycles with cutting-edge electronics systems, including
Apple CarPlay™ integration. Now these models also bring similar technology to
Android users.
Android
Auto is a simple way for customers to use a phone on the motorcycle. With
simplified interface, and easy-to-use voice actions, it is designed to minimize
distraction so riders can stay focused on the road. Android Auto makes it easy
to access favourite music, media and messaging apps while on the motorcycle.
With Google Assistant on Android Auto, riders can stay focused, connected and
entertained, keeping their eyes on the road and their hands on the handlebar,
while using their voice to help with their day.
Africa
Twin owners who would like to add Android Auto integration should visit Honda
Canada’s website - https://motorcycle.honda.ca/category/adventure - where
detailed instructions are provided for downloading the software to a USB drive
and uploading it to their motorcycle. A passenger volume-control function will
also be included in the software update.
