Honda Malaysia has introduced its latest innovative and advanced technology i.e. Honda CONNECT. By applying smart telematics technology, Honda CONNECT allows users to connect with their cars via a smartphone application. The Honda CONNECT brings connectivity to a new level for Honda owners and functions to ensure Safety, Security and Convenience.
The key functions of the telematics technology in Honda CONNECT include Vehicle Diagnostics, Remote Applications, Security Applications, Vehicle Tracking and Support Services. These functions aim to ease the owner’s accessibility to their vehicle and its information whenever and wherever to provide peace of mind, convenience, a sense of pride and the Joy of Owning a Honda car.
The Security Alarm Detection feature remotely monitors the car’s situation and will send a push notification to the owner as well as Honda’s 24 Hours Roadside Assist Call Center* when the car door, trunk or bonnet is forcibly opened. This means a possibility of the risk of car theft which will trigger the security alarm accordingly. Ultimately, it offers the assurance of being able to park the car with peace of mind. Taking connectivity to another level, owners are also able to conveniently and safely locate their vehicle with the Find My Car function in Honda CONNECT which allows owners to park with ease anywhere knowing that they can now easily locate their car on a map that is linked to their smartphone.
Besides the car lock, this intelligent feature can also remotely start or stop the car engine, switch on or off the air conditioning to conveniently cool the cabin as well as remotely switching on the lights to help the owner locate the parked car at night time – all of which truly redefines safety and convenience while bringing the joy of connectivity and mobility to customers.
The vehicle dashboard consists of vehicle information such as Car Status and Service Reminder. These information will be connected and displayed on the Honda CONNECT application for the convenience of drivers with alerts and reminders. An emergency call function enables users to quickly connect with emergency contacts which can promptly support and assist user in emergencies. Driving behaviour and Trip logs work to track and record driving styles with driving data from the connected vehicle. Service Reminder function provides users with updates on all past service information including reminders for next periodical maintenance. Users can check Service History, Parts List and Estimation cost for future vehicle service as well as contact a Honda Dealer to make a service appointment.
Honda CONNECT also works to offer an advanced form of communication through the One-to-One Message function, Social Network Services (SNS) Posting and Customer Inquiry features. The One-to-One Message are reminders on service maintenance, insurance renewal and annual vehicle tax deadline while SNS Posting allows users to share their vehicle trip logs with their community via social media. Additionally, the application connects and gives access for the owner to contact Honda directly for any enquiries as well as for Honda dealers to be in touch with customers for an efficient customer-dealer relationship.
