New models at your Acura dealer digitize your drive with the latest iteration of the Acura infotainment system, featuring a True Touchpad interface, wireless connectivity, integrated navigation, and several in-car entertainment options.

Your Acura Dealer’s Guide to Mastering the Acura Infotainment System

Center Touchscreen with True Touchpad

The center of your vehicle’s dashboard features a high-definition touchscreen, which is 10.2 inches on the 2025 TLX and reaches up to 12.3 inches on the MDX. You can interact with the touchscreen interface directly to switch between elements, or you can use Acura’s exclusive True Touchpad. The input system offers a pad with every spot mapped to a corresponding position on the interface, and extra buttons such as back and home.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Compatibility

Passengers can browse apps such as Spotify on the center touchscreen by connecting their smartphones via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Models such as TLX and Integra allow you to connect your Apple or Android device without a cable to make phone calls, send and receive messages, or use Google Maps. You can also access digital voice assistants such as Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant to interact with certain navigation and infotainment functions using voice commands.

SiriusXM Radio

Your new Acura comes with a three-month SiriusXM trial subscription that gives you access to talk shows, comedy, sports, and many more entertainment options. You can also listen to breaking news from your favorite sources or browse through an endless list of podcasts available in the SiriusXM library. Upgrading to the SiriusXM with 360L subscription adds ad-free music and other on-demand streaming options such as interviews and shows.

AcuraLink Connected Services

The AcuraLink mobile app lets you access several functions on your smartphone that are otherwise limited to the center touchscreen. These include monitoring your vehicle’s health, controlling certain features of your ride, and interacting with infotainment features. You can also request roadside assistance in the event of an emergency or schedule service if the time is right.

If your Acura has integrated navigation, you can find a location on your smartphone and send it to your vehicle’s system, or bookmark locations to make them easier to access on the center touchscreen. Additionally, you can use the Last Mile feature to receive walking directions on your smartphone after you exit your Acura.

myQ Connected Garage

With AcuraLink and an active myQ Connected Garage subscription, you no longer have to worry whether you left the garage door open; you can open or close compatible doors using your Acura’s center touchscreen.
