Pioneer say that they will bolster in-car telematic functions as phones and the Internet, become mainstream in motor vehicles and with navigation systems.
This they claim is part of their plan to transform car navigation systems into comprehensive in-vehicle information terminals.
The company has also revealed that they are developing new in-dash car navigation systems with built-in audio/video functions that feature connectivity with peripheral electronics and innovative device operability. We are developing a "light" platform that will be rolled out globally they say.
They said "In OEM car navigation systems, we will concentrate on winning contracts for assembly line products worldwide for automakers. At the same time, we will grow business in the domestic dealer options market.".
