EX-L for driving long distances?
I was born in Atlanta and lived in the SE until
I'm 6'-4", of average proportions and weight, and am in my early 50s. While I would appreciate another inch or two of rear seat travel, it was quite tolerable on my 17-hour trip.
Since Apple and Honda continue to drag their feet implementing CarPlay, I went ahead and bought the Honda Navigation app. It, too, would have to be described only as "adequate." It worked fine, but is strictly no-frills. I did prefer the spoken turn-by-turn instructions in the Honda app over Siri in the Apple Maps app. There were two main problems I had with the app, though.
First, and I think this was a cable issue, the video signal through the HDMI adapter was unstable, and I kept having to wiggle the cables around to get the signal back (tried two different HDMI cables with similar results).
Second, you have to "approve" the app every time you restart the car (every time you stop for gas, food, etc.). If I did not also disconnect my iPhone, it was hit or miss whether the Honda apps would even work upon a restart - there's a bug there, either in the iPhone app(s) or in the head unit. A restart of my iPhone was the only way to fix it if it happened.
Siri Hands Free generally works pretty well.
There is only one intermittent position for the front/rear wipers. Multiple positions for the front wipers would be a help.
