Just found this out. Honda link is just the Appradio interface. At least on iPhone 5 and up anyways.

 

I found this by using apples own settings panel. If you go to settings/general/about and scroll down while your Appradio is connected to your iPhone 5 or above you will see a tab called display unit that you can touch. Pressing it will give you the option of seeing available apps. This usually updates faster than pioneers website so this is how I check for new apps.

 

Well today I was surprised to find honda link and it's two apps on the list....I downloaded the two free apps and yep. They work perfectly well on Appradio.

 

You can try it yourself. The apps work.

As a plus, I actually logged into the Aha app and it isn't a bad app. I haven't seen a new app for AppRadio in months, so I'll take it. Especially one that is well put together. I'm not going to buy the 60 dollar Honda navigation app, so I'll leave that to someone else to discern its quality.

Thanks for the heads up.  I am pretty surprised this works.  I tried the aha app and noticed that the app does not fill the screen so the touch calibration is slightly off as a result of that.

That's a regular issue with all appradio apps. They don't like to stay the right size. It's annoying.

it also is the wrong aspect ratio, but the button placement works for me with every button.

Yeah, there's the usual slightly shrunken appradio video output but it also has extra black space on the left and right side.  I have to press in the black space to the left of the home and back buttons for the press to register.  App does seem to work pretty well other than that.  With AppRadio Extensions it might even be possible to add it to the AppRadio app's menu.
