Purpose and function in the vehicle

The screen works with the vehicle's factory electronic installation, acting as a user interface for the GPS navigation system and multimedia functions. Integration with Android Auto and CarPlay allows for:

• displaying maps and navigation prompts from a compatible smartphone,
• handling phone calls and messages directly from the screen,
• controlling music apps and podcasts,
• using voice assistants within the vehicle's system. The presence of Bluetooth connectivity allows for wireless interaction with mobile devices, which increases convenience and reduces the need for cables in the cabin.

Practical application and user comfort

• quick reading of GPS navigation indications,
• intuitive switching of multimedia functions,
• control of audio system settings and selected vehicle functions. Thanks to the integration with Android Auto and CarPlay, the driver can use current navigation and multimedia apps, which is a significant upgrade compared to older factory solutions. It is a practical way to equip the car with features known from newer model generations.
