What is an In-Vehicle Infotainment System?

[VonHaven]

In-Vehicle Infotainment System refers to the abbreviation of in-car information and entertainment products installed in vehicles. Functionally, it enables information communication between humans and vehicles, as well as between vehicles and the external environment (vehicle-to-vehicle). Here are relevant introductions: 1. Installation location of in-vehicle infotainment systems: Most in-vehicle infotainment systems are installed in the center console. Some systems integrate the main unit with the screen, while others have separate main units and screens. 2. Functions of in-vehicle infotainment systems: With technological advancements, in-vehicle infotainment systems have evolved from early CD/DVD navigation to intelligent and informational development. Current systems not only include traditional functions like radio, music/video playback, and navigation, but also feature 3G and Telematics capabilities. By integrating with CAN-BUS technology, they enable information communication between humans and vehicles, as well as between vehicles and the external environment, enhancing user experience and services related to safety. Among these functions, "I-Call" and "E-Call" are the most typical representatives.
