CAMBRIDGE, UK and SHANGHAI, CHINA: VNC Automotive, a leading provider of in-vehicle connectivity solutions, is proud to announce a milestone project with long standing partner Changxing.
The joint project will bring enhanced infotainment to the vehicles of a major Japanese automaker. It is the third and most extensive joint project the two companies have collaborated on during their decade long partnership.
For over 10 years, VNC Automotive has been a key technology partner for Changxing, and the latest venture underscores the depth of the collaboration. VNC Automotive is supplying cutting-edge in-vehicle connectivity software to integrate seamlessly with Changxing’s advanced infotainment solution. The project is set to run for a duration of at least four years and deliver millions of units to the automaker’s vehicles.
The core of the project involves the implementation of VNC Automotive’s MirrorLink Server SDK within the Changxing T-Box, complemented by the MirrorLink Viewer SDK in the head unit. This robust combination empowers the OEM to run proprietary applications on the T-Box, allowing for seamless localisation to different regions across Asia without necessitating changes to the head unit. The utilisation of this connectivity protocol is instrumental in achieving this end-to-end system integration.
“This project exemplifies our commitment to pushing the boundaries of in-vehicle connectivity and marks a significant milestone in our enduring partnership with Changxing.” – Tom Blackie, CEO, VNC Automotive
