EL SEGUNDO, CALIF. — Smartphones could influence the direction of vehicle-
infotainment systems as much as they have affected the MP3 player, in-vehicle
telephony and portable navigation device (PND) markets,Cell Phones iSuppli reported.
The potential influence of smartphone on infotainment systems comes from the phones’
multitouch user interface and App Stores that sell third-party applications.
“Together,4GS Cell Phones these trends are enabling the smart phone to exert an
increasing impact on multiple industries, including automotive infotainment,”
iSuppli said in a recent research report. Slide Phone
Smartphones and other types of cellphones have already led automakers to incorporate
Bluetooth hands-free technology into their infotainment systems.Bar Phone Bluetooth
is available as optional or standard equipment in 93 percent of model year 2010
vehicles in the Hiphone U.S. and 75 percent of models in Western Europe, iSuppli
said. Almost 100 percent of smartphones sold have Bluetooth features, and more than
80 percent of all mobile phones sold worldwide come with Bluetooth.

Smartphones have also become a leading source of digital music played through vehicle
head units,New Cell Phones mostly via USB interfaces, stereo Bluetooth, and iPod or
auxiliary interfaces, iSuppli said.
Smartphones’ impact on PNDs has also been strong, iSuppli said. The company cited
the introduction one year ago of free navigation functions on the Android operating
system,PDA Smart Phones which in turn forced down the price of PNDs and caused PNDs
to peak in importance. Worldwide PND sales are declining or projected to decline in
most regions of the world in the years to come,WIFI Cell Phone iSuppli said. As a
result, “PND manufacturers are moving into the in-vehicle navigation segment with
low-cost PND-based systems, which in turn is putting price pressure on the suppliers
of traditional in-vehicle navigation systems,” iSuppli said.
In the future,Watch Phones auto infotainment systems might adopt smartphone operating
systems, primarily the Android OS but also the Genivi consortium’s MeeGo platform
for Nokia high-end smartphones, iSuppli said.Dual SIM Phones A growing number of
smartphone apps, the company also noted, are already focused on vehicle applications
such as remote control of door locks, TV Phones windows, air conditioning and remote
starting.

Another coming smartphone influence on infotainment systems is Terminal Mode,a head-
unit-to-smartphone interface “that will render the smartphone display on the head-
unit display,” Quad-Band Phones iSuppli explained.
A “long-term possibility” also exists for smartphones to become the “computing and
communication platform portion” of head units, Cheapest Phones which would provide
the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) for in-vehicle entertainment as well as interfaces
to other vehicle systems.Free shipping In this scenario, motorists would be able to
use their preferred smartphone as their content source, lowering the price of an
infotainment system price while making it possible to upgrade functionality when a
better smartphone comes along. This scenario, however, might be adopted only for
entry-level vehicles to keep new-car prices low, iSuppli noted.
