At its exhibit in Central Plaza (booth CP#20), Visteon is
highlighting its mid-range infotainment platform that targets
global vehicle applications needing enhanced connectivity,
navigation, services and entertainment features. This infotainment
functionality is accessible to drivers and passengers through
Visteon's branded human-machine interaction (HMI) while also
offering the infrastructure to easily incorporate OEM unique HMI
requirements.
In addition to the standard audio functions provided on today's
infotainment platforms, consumers expect flexible in-vehicle
connectivity and advanced entertainment solutions. Visteon's
mid-range infotainment system not only enables multi-device
connectivity, but also manages content to deliver a rich
experience. To keep the vehicle technology in step with consumer
electronic trends, Visteon's platform is capable of delivering
system improvements and enhancements through wireless software
updates.
With more consumer electronic (CE) devices being connected to
automobiles, manufacturers know the importance of presenting CE
device information to drivers via familiar and easy-to-use
interfaces. If done well, this creates brand differentiation for
the automaker. To assist in creating a unique driver experience,
Visteon's team of dedicated HMI experts has developed a user
interface that is simple to operate and offers vehicle
manufacturers flexibility in the design.
Visteon's HMI solution positions frequently used controls
closest to the driver and reduces the steps needed to complete
actions. To keep drivers focused on the road, the HMI includes an
efficient single-level menu structure, allowing for easy access to
sub menu functions. To meet the demands of global platforms,
Visteon's HMI provides regional customization while maintaining the
global HMI brand, look and feel. Controls have been strategically
positioned to be easily accessible in both large and small, and
right-hand and left-hand drive vehicles.
"We continue to evolve our infotainment solutions to meet
rapidly changing customer needs," said Christian Feltgen, Visteon's global director of
cockpit electronics. "This enhancement of the user experience
allows us to expand our capabilities and grow with our customers as
they extend their platform to global markets."
