Car manufacturers can not continue with CD player
The in-dash mounted CD player could quickly go the way of 8-tracks and quadraphonic sound, vice president of Siemens VDO, said last Thursday in the Ward's Auto Interior Show in Detroit.
"And it will be a welcome demise, because it will free up valuable on the board to all the other cool gizmos drivers lug around these days, like cell phones, personal digital assistant and music player, said Frank Homann, vice president of Siemens VDO Interior Electronics Solutions group.
Never-ending advances in music devices digital, the assimilation of them, everyone's cell phones and finicky customers who expect to customize their vehicles with portable devices, will promote CD players in most vehicles from 2012, Homann said.
Many manufacturers are already integrating new technologies in sound cars. The Chrysler Group has offered its U Connect system to provide customers with Bluetooth Phones to connect to a speaker phone in the car. The company recently launched the My Gig system. The CD recording system to a 20 Gigabit hard drive in the script.
"There are systems that cost thousands of dollars while that Bluetooth offers a voice recognition system and highly successful hands-free phone capabilities for much, much less, "said Jack Withrow, director of entertainment Vehicle and communications for DaimlerChrysler. "Bluetooth chips are becoming cheaper, and I hope that prices continue to fall."
The UConnect system, installed on the dashboard, tuner serves as voice-activated mobile phone, speaker and audio receiver. The phone can be placed anywhere in the car while Console serves as a conduit cellular and marks the driver's voice and speaks through the UConnect system in the dashboard.
In addition to Chrysler, Ford, BMW, Saab, General Motors, Mercedes and Toyota are also in Bluetooth connectivity. The Ford Motor Co. will present its Sync system later this year. Connect your phone a driver to the vehicle and allows an iPod or music device to be controlled by another car stereo. Also play music stored on a flash drive by connecting to a USB port in the car.
BMW offers Bluetooth assume the same basic phone-to-board based on the function and UConnect Chrysler. Saab initial request, however, could be just the beginning, Doug Blank said. "The technology is the zoom. I guess things will become where cars can download the software in the car to sit in the car with a laptop computer to download the software. The flexibility of Bluetooth technology is not just restricted to mobile phones and headphones. Saab is also considering allowing the PDA navigation systems with link, "he added Blank.
The hype of Bluetooth connectivity is accelerating faster than I could even title = "EBC Active Brakes Direct"> EBC Active Brakes Direct could not put to an end. "Bluetooth has become a worldwide standard that has made more profitable by definition, "said Joyce Putscher, director of consumer and converging markets and technologies In-Stat Group in Scottsdale, Arizona
Chris Dragon, director of marketing for audio company Harmon / Kardon, said he sees the opening of his scripts automakers little all devices. "(Automakers) do a lot of money on technology packages that include CD players and other things," said the Dragon. "No I see the opening of their electrical architecture to people outside the short term. "
Many of the changes in the future interior will begin in the market area Accessory more agile, Dragon said. Car manufacturers could save between $ 20 and $ 40 per vehicle if they are removed CD players said Homann. It could also save money in other ways, such as consolidation of some of the electronics behind the panel, which said. But all this will certainly take time.
