Your Car And Your Phone Will Be Best Friends



New technology is going to make your life so much simpler.  The car electronics company, Harman, presented a new idea at the Geneva Motor Show, and it is sure to change the way we think about our phones and our cars.  Using a Dock + Go system, your smartphone will make driving a more personal experience.

In the presentation, Harman first demonstrated the capabilities of Dock + Go with various smartphones’ Near Field Communication.  As each smartphone was placed near the NFC reader in the car, a welcome message specific to that phone appeared on the car’s display.  Information and content ranging from playlists to social media was pulled from the phone without even plugging it in.  The system then used the Aha radio application to access internet radio stations, traffic information, restaurant reviews, and more.

You might think you can do these things right now with Bluetooth, but have you considered how much that drains your phones batteries (not to mention digging out the cable to connect it)?  The main benefit of the system is its Near Field Communication reader, which quickly and effortlessly pairs your phone in the car without killing your phone’s battery.  Smartphone and car integration technology is the way of the future, and at Route 23 Honda, we can't wait!

  1. Cars give us the comfort of not having to wake up too early just to catch up the earliest bus or cab on your way to work. I bought mine last month and was really proud to have it.
