Acura has taken a big step forward in increasing the connectivity of its vehicles with improvements to the AcuraLink connectivity package. Not only does it bring a high-tech experience to the cabin through a touchscreen, but it extends to your laptop, tablet, and smartphone, giving you additional ways to interact with your vehicle. The newest generation of AcuraLink allows you to remotely check vitals, unlock your doors, and perform other tasks related to your vehicle using apps on external devices. Check out more details on these apps.
Interact With Your Vehicle via the AcuraLink Connect App
Use this app with select MDX and RLX models going back to 2014 and on TLX from 2015 to the present. With the Connect App, you can check the status of each tire’s pressure, the current reading on your odometer, how much fuel’s in the tank, and battery life. If you think there’s a mechanical problem, you can run a diagnostics check with this app.
Access Content With AcuraLink Streams
The name says it all: pull in streams of information with this handy app. Some MDX, RLX, and TLX models from 2014 to present have the ability to interact with the AcuraLink Streams app. Serving as a content gateway, this app funnels cloud-based programming and content to your vehicle. Access your favorite podcasts, keep tabs on new Facebook posts, and check Twitter for the latest trending topics through the car’s audio system. This app is ideal for anyone who wants to stay in the know while on the go.
Get Help With the AcuraLink Roadside Assistance App
Every Acura owner can take advantage of the safeguards that come with the AcuraLink Roadside Assistance app. When there’s an accident involving a car that’s still under warranty, a specialist with the emergency assistance center receives a notification and will attempt to contact you in your vehicle. If you don’t respond, the agent will ask dispatchers to send local first responders and provide your location so they know where to go. If you have a smartphone, you can track the pending arrival of emergency crews.
Learn More About AcuraLink With the Virtual Tour App
Some RLX vehicles from 2014 and beyond offer compatibility with the Virtual Tour app. Use this app to get a clearer idea of how the AcuraLink works, its available features, and details on the apps that are a part of the connectivity package. If you have questions about how any of the apps work, the Virtual Tour app may have the answers.

Under the guidance of skilled engineers, designers created accessories to integrate seamlessly with Acura vehicles. Through the app, you can access a series of videos that showcase the various add-ons that are available. There’s also an overview video that explains the benefits of using Acura-designed accessories on your vehicle.
With these apps, you have greater insights into your car’s condition, access to data and content, an easy way to view available accessories, and roadside assistance if you have an emergency.
