Clarion Co., Ltd., a global leader in car audio and electronics, and Nokia Corporation, the world’s leading mobile device producer today announced that they are collaborating on Terminal Mode, a technology that will enable a totally new way of mobile devices and car infotainment systems to seamlessly work together. Both companies say this collaboration will further boost the development of next-generation smart car infotainment systems.
Nokia has proposed Terminal Mode with Consumer Electronics for Automotive (CE4A), and is partnering with other car audio makers such as Alpine in its quest. Nokia will provide the software, including apps through its Ovi Store.
Clarion is also targeting accelerated development and greater commercial dominance of in-car information systems for the Europe and North America markets where Nokia has a strong presence, as well as China and other emerging markets.
