Sean Hobson Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Did anyone see Apple's WWDC conference keynote? They unveiled a new feature called iOS in the car which promises to sync iPhones w/ vehicle cpu's for things like music, maps, calling and more. It doesn't look like Ford is signing up. Too bad, MFT has some shortcomings to be sure. http://m.intomobile.com/2013/06/10/wwdc-2013-apple-reveals-ios-car/?mstac=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, Jaguar was!! I really can't see manufacturers doing this, because they will lose out big time on Navigation sales and such like that.

Laminar Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Unfortunately I think Ford has too much sunk into MFT to give up on it, even though the end users would benefit greatly and I bet their defect rate would drop exponentially.

I assume they'd just charge the standard $500-900 they would normally get for Nav instead for iOS support and suddenly the OEM isn't responsible for new SD cards, map updates, and more. All the better for them. Edited June 13, 2013 by Laminar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
