Bring your favorite smartphone features to your ride with Honda's Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Access navigation, music, and messages seamlessly, enhancing your journey with connectivity and convenience. Whether on long adventures or quick trips, stay connected and entertained effortlessly.

Audio

Your new Gold Wing’s audio system is an excellent example of state-of-the-art electronic technology. In addition to listening to music, with an available Bluetooth* headset you can make or answer phone calls without taking off your helmet. In addition to a standard USB connector, options include a separate passenger audio control switch, a high-output amplifier and speakers, Sirius XM^® satellite radio, a CB radio, and more. Plus, there’s a second USB connector in the left saddlebag of all Gold Wing models.

Android Auto Compatibility

Great news for Android users—With the July 2020 software update, Gold Wings from 2018 onwards are now Android Auto^TM compatible, including all our new 2024 models. That means you can connect your Android phone to your Gold Wing to access Google Assistant, and to use navigation tools like Google Maps, Waze and more. Plus, you’ll have access to weather, playlists, music-streaming services and telephone numbers. Available Bluetooth®-compatible headsets let you communicate easily too.* And with more and more apps available all the time, Android Auto and Honda software updates keep your bike’s technology right on the cutting edge.

Apple CarPlay™ Compatibility

The Gold Wing’s introduction of Apple CarPlay^TM*1 was a first for the motorcycle industry! Apple CarPlay seamlessly integrates your iPhone^®*1 to access Apple Maps^®, Apple Music^®, and other services easily. You’ll have access to weather, playlists, and telephone numbers while aboard. Available Bluetooth^®*2-enabled wireless headsets let you communicate more easily than ever. And best of all, with more apps available every day, Apple CarPlay keeps your bike’s technology and convenience on the cutting edge.

Navigation

Every Gold Wing and Gold Wing Tour is equipped with a big, bright, seven-inch full-color TFT LCD screen to display routes and other navigation information. Plus, since it’s equipped with a gyrocompass, the system even functions inside a tunnel. Independent of the Apple CarPlay™ or Android Auto feature, it works with or without your phone. Added bonus only by Honda: 10 years of free map updates!

Vehicle Settings

Your new Gold Wing is packed with smart rider aids. A glance at the dash keeps you informed of things like ride mode (Tour, Sport, Rain, Econ), rear suspension preload settings (solo, with passenger, loaded, unloaded on Tour models), tire pressure* and much more.
