I would also add that the car struggles to connect to a WiFi system even though I can sit in the car with my phone connected to my domestic WiFi. This means that downloading any apps through Honda Connect won't be easy.
I'm not sure this will work. If you can park close enough to your house to get the wi-fi directly then you might be able to do that, but the car's wi-fi doesn't have an external aerial so the signal probably won't be good. Otherwise what you have to do is set your phone up as a wi-fi hotspot (aka tethering), then connect the car's wi-fi to your phone. If your phone is connected to your domestic wi-fi then it's not acting as a hotspot which is why you can't connect the car to it. So the internet connection is from the 3G/4G cell network to your phone, then by wi-fi from your phone to the car and vice versa. At least that's what I did just to explore what kind of apps are available, only to discover precisely two - the aha radio app and a weather forecast. Am I missing something, are there more somewhere ?
On the topic of MirrorLink, there are indeed videos on YouTube apparently showing it working (including when the vehicle is moving). But you need the right hardware (
http://www.mirrorlink.com/phones) and my Moto G just won't cut it; Motorola aren't part of the MirrorLink consortium and apparently have no plans to join (I asked). Just a thought, but it looks like you need to connect with both Bluetooth and a USB cable (a data cable, not a charging cable - I found out the hard way a while ago that not all 3rd party USB cables carry data, some just charge the phone).
