According to a report on 9to5Mac, the new 2014 Civic will be the first Honda models to feature Apple's "iOS in the Car". But unlike a few other car companies that offer iOS in the Car, Honda could add one other highly sought-after feature.
That feature is iOS Mirroring. According to 9to5Mac's report, Honda's version of "iOS in the Car" will be "more than just simple mirroring". Although there isn't official word from Honda yet, this would make Honda the first car manufacturer to support iOS mirroring. They are expected to make an official announcement in the first week of December.
Apple announced "iOS in the Car" earlier this year teasing us with just a few features and screenshots. There was Bluetooth connectivity, phone calls, maps, Siri and music streaming. But the details have been sketchy. Many car manufacturers are on board with Apple on this but Honda's case could be a little different.
Details about the in-car entertainment package in the 2014 Honda Civic are far and few between. The car will, however, feature a 7-inch touchscreen and come in the following trims: Coupe, Si Coupe, Sedan, Si Sedan, Hybrid, Natural Gas and HF.
Full iOS control from the car's touchscreen, although only a speculation at this point, could become a reality soon. Or maybe Honda's version of mirroring would involve an AppRadio Mode-esque feature. Stay tuned for more on this.
