How to Tell When Your Honda Needs a Transmission Repair

It's a good idea to set up Honda Apple CarPlay or Android Auto when you get a new vehicle. It lets you make the most of the car's technology and access tons of convenient features. It's simple to set up, so let's see how it's done. more Wired CarPlay Plug your iPhone charger into your smartphone and a USB port in your vehicle with a USB port with a graphic of three prongs above it. When text appears on your infotainment screen, select "yes." You may have to give CarPlay permissions to access certain things on your iPhone, and you have to approve these requests for it to work. Your phone may also ask you if you'd like to use the feature wirelessly instead, and you can choose whether or not to do that. Wireless CarPlay Select the CarPlay icon on your infotainment system's home screen, then click "connect phone," "connect new device," and "search for devices." The name of your iPhone will appear as long as your iPhone has Bluetooth turned on, tap the name of your phone on your infotainment screen, and check the pairing code on the infotainment screen and your smartphone to make sure they match. Select "pair" if they do. Follow the prompts on your infotainment screen, sync your smartphone's contacts with the system when a prompt appears on your smartphone screen, and allow any permissions the vehicle or smartphone ask you to allow. Wired Android Auto Plug your smartphone into a USB port with an image of three prongs above it using your phone charger. Select "yes" when you see the on-screen prompt, and grant all permissions that appear on the screen of your information system and smartphone. Your phone might ask if you want to use Android Auto wirelessly, which you can choose to do if you'd like. Wireless Android Auto Head to the "Android Auto" app on your infotainment system's homescreen and select it. Click "connect phone," then "connect new device," and finally, "search for devices." Click the name of your phone on the infotainment screen. Make sure the pairing code on the system and your phone match, then tap "pair." Some prompts may appear on each screen asking you to grant permissions and sync information between the devices. Approve all of these.

If you're considering a new-to-you Honda, checking out the Honda certified pre-owned options at your local Honda dealership is a great way to access reliable cars at a big discount. Consider some of the benefits. more Benefits of Honda Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranties If you thought that you could only get a warranty on a brand-new car, think again. Honda actually has two tiers of coverage, depending on the age and mileage on the vehicle. Vehicles from 2020 to 2025 that have fewer than 80,000 miles on them are eligible for a seven-year/100,000-mile warranty on the powertrain and a two-year or up to 100,000-mile non-powertrain warranty coverage. For vehicles from 2015 to 2025 with higher mileage, there's a 100 day/5,000 mile powertrain warranty and non-powertrain warranty. Roadside Assistance and Oil Changes Whether you buy HondaTrue Certified or HondaTrue Used, eligible vehicles come with roadside assistance for the duration of your warranty. You also get two complementary oil changes within the first year for lower mileage cars, and one complementary oil change for those with higher mileage in the HondaTrue Used program. Both also come with a three-day exchange policy just in case you're not happy with what you've got. Honda Care The Honda Care program offers peace of mind for drivers who want to be sure they won't have to pay out-of-pocket for unexpected expenses in the first few years of their vehicle ownership. Cars that are eligible for this program can get all kinds of mechanical and electrical coverages with terms that can go as high as eight years or 120,000 miles. Any Honda vehicle that your dealership sells, whether HondaTrue Certified, HondaTrue Used, or simply Used, is eligible for Honda Care if you wish to purchase it. Other Goodies If you buy a certified preowned vehicle, you're also going to get other special things, like 90 days of SiriusXM, zero dollar deductible for repairs, concierge service, and trip interruption coverage for up to two years. None of these benefits are available when you buy a used Honda from a generic car lot.
