Honda has been playing it safe in the infotainment game, as
competition from Ford and General Motors push ahead with ambitious
systems that leverage driver’s devices and the cloud. But next month the
Japanese automaker plans to reveal its next-generation infotainment
solution, HondaLink, before it becomes available on the 2013 Accord this
fall.
A cursory glance at Honda’s current navigation and infotainment
offerings leaves a lot to be desired. Most of the functionality is still
stuck in the mid-2000s, primarily comprised of basic navigation
functionality and a complete lack of streaming audio solutions, outside
of satellite and terrestrial radio.
That’s about to change with the introduction of the revamped
HondaLink system, which debuts first on the Fit EV, an electrified
version of the brand’s popular sub-compact hatchback.
Honda is in the midst of moving many of its connected services away
from satellite data, although Honda representatives speaking with Wired
haven’t determined if the automaker will move towards a built-in,
always-connected modem in its vehicles or rely on driver’s smartphones
to provide data services.
At CES this January, Honda announced a partnership with Aha Radio to
begin providing streaming audio services in its 2013 models, and the
first vehicle to benefit from that tie-up will be the all-new Accord.
The Aha Radio app – available for both iOS and Android devices –
allows drivers to access thousands of streaming audio feeds, including
podcasts, NPR, Rhapsody and MOG integration, through the vehicle’s
head-unit.
Honda’s infotainment initiative won’t be fully disclosed until the
middle of July, and that gives the automaker time to get its data
situation sorted and possibly bring other content partners on board.

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get setup? I'm assuming having
a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I'm not very web smart so I'm not 100% sure.
Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
