New Display-Audio infotainment provides drivers and passengers with access to smartphone content via touchscreen interface.
Automotive Systems Company, a division of Panasonic Corporation, has selected RealVNC to deliver the next generation of in-car entertainment and driving experience. RealVNC’s VNC Automotive technology has been integrated in Panasonic’s Display-Audio infotainment system to enable the screen of a smartphone to be replicated and controlled from the touchscreen display on the vehicle head unit. This provides drivers and passengers with seamless access to a wide range of smartphone content such as maps, music and internet radio.
As a leader in mobile to vehicle integration and cloud connectivity, and a core member of the international Car Connectivity Consortium, RealVNC provides Panasonic with advanced features and functionality that support the Consortium’s MirrorLink industry standard. Panasonic’s Display-Audio system has already been adopted by a major automotive manufacturer, is in production and is currently available to drivers as a dealer option.
VNC Automotive has been widely adopted by the automotive industry as the standard for integrating mobile and vehicle, with partners including the world’s largest automotive, infotainment, OEM and Tier 1 manufacturers. VNC Automotive provides a seamless experience enabling smartphone connections via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and USB. The technology also supports other connectivity protocols such as MirrorLink and iPod Out, says the company.
