In-Vehicle Infotainment

Overview

In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems in many vehicle models support only USB wired connectivity for smartphone integration, resulting in a suboptimal user experience. Ameba provides IVI-related features and frameworks to help developers easily upgrade IVI systems from USB wired connectivity to wireless solutions.

Below is the flowchart of the IVI wireless solution:
