Honda Introducing Dealer-Installed Eyes Free Siri Integration on 2013 Accord, Acura ILX and RDX

Honda has announced that later this year, any customer with a 2013 Accord or 2013 Acura ILX or RDX can have Apple's Eyes Free Siri integration fitted to their cars. To recap, Eyes Free tech enables Siri use through a car's Bluetooth connection, utilizing a car-mounted button to activate the iPhone's digital personal assistant instead of the phone's home button. In the case of the Accord and pair of Acuras, Eyes Free will be a dealer-installed option.  Instrumented Test: 2013 Honda Accord 2.4L Manual Instrumented Test: 2013 Acura ILX 2.4 First Drive: 2013 Acura RDX According to Honda, the "installation" is in fact a mere software update. To activate Siri, drivers simply push the Bluetooth button that comes on the car's steering wheel and hold it for a moment. A Honda representative wouldn't comment on future factory Eyes Free integration for either the Accord, ILX, RDX, or other future Honda/Acura products, but given that the feature is only a software re-flash away, it would be easy for the company to roll it out. We were told the company will closely monitor customer reaction to the Siri upgrade. from Car and Driver Blog http://blog.caranddriver.com
