Honda Cars Philippines (HCPI) celebrated the official launch of Honda CONNECT alongside the unveiling of the All-New Honda CR-V on September 13, 2023. Representing the brand’s foray into connected services within the automotive sector, Honda CONNECT takes the form of a user-friendly smartphone application. This innovative platform provides customers with a comprehensive package encompassing safety, security, and convenience, elevating their overall ownership experience.
In the case of the All-New CR-V, Honda CONNECT employs telematics-based (TCU) technology, establishing a seamless connection between the owner’s smartphone and the vehicle. The array of features includes Automatic Collision Detection, Security Alarm, Remote Diagnostic Support, Speed Alert, Geofencing, Vehicle Dashboard Information, Remote Vehicle Control, and Find My Car. These TCU features are bundled with the All-New Honda CR-V, and customers can avail themselves of a complimentary three-year subscription to Honda CONNECT.
Notably, HCPI extends the benefits of the Honda CONNECT application to existing owners of other Honda models, introducing a non-telematics (non-TCU) platform option. This initiative opens the door for all Honda owners to access enhanced safety, security, and convenience through Honda CONNECT. The features available on the non-TCU platform at no cost include Emergency Calls, Location Search, and News. Emergency Calls enable users to effortlessly contact the Honda Call Center, Honda Dealer, emergency services, or 24/7 roadside assistance. Location Search facilitates the exploration of places of interest, such as gas stations, ATMs, convenience stores, and Honda dealerships, allowing users to book services conveniently and access navigation. The News feature comprises periodic maintenance reminders and product advisories.
Honda prioritizes user privacy by ensuring that any collected personal data is treated with the utmost confidentiality and compliance with data privacy laws. The user-friendly application is designed for hassle-free installation and setup, requiring only a few straightforward steps to establish a connection between the smartphone and Honda vehicle—no additional hardware or exorbitant costs involved. Honda CONNECT aligns with the company’s global vision of zero traffic collision fatalities involving Honda vehicles and emphasizes safety for everyone.
Prospective users are encouraged to download the Honda CONNECT app from popular platforms such as the App Store, Play Store, or Huawei App Gallery. Experience the advantages of enhanced safety, security, and convenience by exploring Honda CONNECT.
