SiriusXM has secured an extension of its “connected vehicle” relationship with American Honda.
Its subsidiary SiriusXM Connected Vehicle Services will provide certain services for Acura and Honda vehicles under the five-year agreement. “SiriusXM has been delivering connected vehicle services to Honda and Acura customers since 2013 through HondaLink and AcuraLink,” the satellite company said. “HondaLink and AcuraLink provide convenient access to maps, weather, restaurants and points of interest, in addition to remote and assist services.
