But the highlight of Honda’s Navi MP3 capability is its search feature, which we haven’t found on other cars with MP3 support we’ve seen to date (we haven’t researched all cars available on the market, so there may be cars around there with the same feature). You can search songs by title keyword, artist or album, see Figure 7.

If you select the first option, Title by keyword, a small keyboard will appear, allowing you to enter the partial name of the song you want to listen to.
