How do I connect to Apple CarPlay in my Honda?

I drive a new Honda Accord, and I want to set up Apple CarPlay, so I’m less tempted to use my phone while driving. I’m not the most tech-savvy person and don’t even know how to start the process. How can I set up CarPlay in my Honda?

It’s incredibly tempting to use your phone while driving, but it is illegal and a leading cause of accidents. Fortunately, modern cars like your
Honda Accord
offer convenient features like Apple CarPlay that can help you focus on the road.
Follow these steps to set up CarPlay in your Honda using a USB cable:
  1. Make sure CarPlay and Siri are enabled on your iPhone.
  2. Connect your iPhone to the USB port with an Apple-approved iPhone cable.
  3. Select always enable when prompted on the display screen.
  4. Confirm the CarPlay icon has been added to the display screen.
While the USB cable is a reliable method, you can use the following instructions to set up CarPlay in your Honda using Bluetooth:
  1. Turn the vehicle on and touch the home icon on the vehicle’s display.
  2. Select the smartphone connection tile.
  3. Hit connect new device.
  4. Go to the Bluetooth settings on your iPhone.
  5. Select your vehicle’s name in the Bluetooth pairings list on your iPhone.
