Acura did not integrate Apple CarPlay functionality into the RDX until model year 2019, so unfortunately Your 2016 is not fitted with CarPlay. However, the good news is that several aftermarket solutions exist which can bring Your 2016 into the new decade. Companies like Alpine, Pioneer, and Kenwood each make Apple CarPlay compatible head units which can fit vehicles as old as model year 2000. The drawback is that they cost quite a pretty penny; You might be looking at as much as $500 or more. However, You can always look at this as a safety upgrade as much as an entertainment one -- in fact, that's how Apple markets CarPlay. They seem to believe that the user friendly interface is able to keep more attention on the road, and therefore reduce the risk of "distracted driver" collisions.

This 2016 acura rdx does not have an apple carplay option. Nevertheless, there are several other ways for linking the iphone to the audio system, including bluetooth and aux ports.
