An Infotainment System Explained

Our Acura of Honolulu team has a goal to help our customers in Honolulu make the most of the amenities and features that are equipped with their vehicles. If you have an infotainment system, there are many ways you can use it to your advantage.

An infotainment system is an in-car multimedia system. Manufacturers market infotainment systems under proprietary names. In-car entertainment systems typically support Bluetooth wireless streaming. The hands-free and voice command technology that comes with these systems significantly enhance safety by allowing drivers to make calls, listen to and send texts, and control music without taking their hands off the steering wheel.

Many infotainment systems support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which enables a smartphone user to connect their iPhone or Android to the infotainment system. This allows them to access music, apps, and contacts from their smartphone. Some infotainment systems are compatible with third=party apps that offer navigation, roadside assistance, and more.
