VNC® Automotive is a MirrorLink Certified™ product that supports the widest range of mobile devices from the latest smartphones to legacy handsets. The screen of the mobile device is replicated on the head unit, giving access to mobile content such as navigation, music libraries and internet radio, simply and safely controlled from the infotainment system touch screen, vehicle bezel keys, steering wheel switches and by voice command. VNC Automotive will even stream content such as maps and music to the driver, while simultaneously showing rear seat entertainment such as videos and games to passengers.
VNC Automotive has been MirrorLink Certified by the international Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC) to ensure drivers and passengers enjoy a safe and seamless smartphone experience in their vehicles. In-car connections can be via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and USB, covering Symbian, Windows Mobile, Blackberry and Android devices along with Apple’s iPod Out that allows an iPhone or iPod Touch to display the iPod video interface on the head unit screen.
