Explaining the 2014 Acura MDX and Apple CarPlay
The 2014 Acura MDX is a mid-size luxury SUV that was released in 2013 as a 2014 model year vehicle. At the time, it did not have any built-in smartphone integration features like Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, as those technologies were still in development.
Apple CarPlay is a feature that allows users to connect their iPhone to a compatible vehicle's infotainment system, enabling them to access various iPhone apps and functions directly through the vehicle's display and controls. This feature was first introduced by Apple in 2014, after the 2014 Acura MDX had already been released.
Acura MDX Infotainment System in 2014
The 2014 Acura MDX came equipped with Acura's own proprietary infotainment system, which did not include support for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. Instead, the MDX offered the following features:
- 7-inch touchscreen display
- Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calling and audio streaming
- Satellite radio
- Navigation system
- Rearview camera
While the 2014 Acura MDX did not have Apple CarPlay, later model years of the MDX, starting in 2016, did gain support for this feature as part of Acura's updates to their infotainment system.
