However, unlike Honda's most recently upgraded models, such as the Civic, the CR-V suffers from an older dashboard infotainment system that doesn't include Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.
Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration aren't available on the base model LX. But the Sport, EX, EX-L, and Touring/Sport Touring all have smartphone compatibility. Even the special editions Civic Si and Type R come standard with these features.
Android Auto is compatible with Android 5.0 and higher and available on several 2015 and newer Honda models.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto were first available on the Honda Accord and Honda Civic for the 2016 model year. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (and the premium convenience they bring) will also be available on the 2017 Honda CR-V and return in the 2017 Honda Accord and 2017 Honda Civic.
But they're far from basic otherwise. Both the 2016 Honda Civic LX and the EX come standard with a wide-angle rearview backup camera.
