Telenav’s cloud-connected VIVID infotainment
system and Alpine’s Infotainment device to allow users to simply
plug-in to the latest in cloud-connected entertainment, navigation,
and smart-assistant technology
Telenav®, Inc. (NASDAQ: TNAV), a leading provider of
connected-car and location-based services, and Alpine Electronics,
one of the world’s premier manufacturers of automotive electronic
components, announced they are teaming up to develop an easy,
low-cost way to quickly upgrade existing in-vehicle infotainment
systems by simply inserting Alpine’s infotainment device with
Telenav’s VIVID infotainment system into a vehicle’s USB port.
VIVID™ is a new, advanced, cloud-first, in-vehicle infotainment
system that seamlessly brings together the best in online
entertainment and information services with high-end hybrid
navigation and integrated online smart voice assistant.
“Our partnership with Alpine is great news for OEMs and vehicle
owners alike,” stated Sal Dhanani, Telenav co-founder and chief
operating officer. “Alpine’s Infotainment Stick with VIVID will be
easily applied to vehicles supporting MirrorLink® by simply
plugging it in to instantly start enjoying a delightful
connected-car experience. With VIVID, consumers will be able to get
a cloud-connected solution that will seamlessly integrate
navigation, online music services, and a smart voice assistant for
a safe, enjoyable, hands-free experience that is always fresh
through ‘over-the-air’ software updates.”
The partnership will also benefit OEMs who want to update their
in-market infotainment solutions with the VIVID-Alpine infotainment
product in the after-market. Providing an updated infotainment
system in such a manner will allow OEMs to instantly give their
customers the latest in automotive digital technology. In doing so,
OEMs will be able to further strengthen customer loyalty to their
brand by ensuring all their vehicles in the market can provide a
delightful digital user experience.
“We’re proud to partner with Telenav in delivering a
revolutionary in-car experience that fuses entertainment,
navigation, and smart-assistant technology,” said Yasuhiro Ikeuchi,
president Alpine Electronics GmbH. “With car users around the world
demanding easy access to maps, multi-media, and more, the Alpine
infotainment device with VIVID One is a vital addition to many
drivers’ in-car experience.”
