in order to respond to the demands of different markets around the world, Continental, one of the major component suppliers to the automobile industry, has developed a radio platform that makes it possible to control a variety of functions by simply using a processor, thereby reducing hardware to a minimum.
Continental has chosen to build the system in an optimized system-on-chip technology (SoC). With a multi-core processor and a digital signal processor (DSP) has been developed platform Software Defined Radio (SDR).
In the radio integrates analog and digital standards such as AM / FM, DAB / DAB + / DMB, DRM and HD radio which is used worldwide on the same hardware. New standards which Chinese Digital Radio can add the software updates.
In this way radio platform used in different markets without hardware changes.
As the sound today mostly comes from broadcasts or occupant connected devices via Bluetooth or uSB so there is no CD in the Continental platform. This reduces the need for hardware components and the entire radio unit is not thicker than 40 mm, which provides flexibility for automakers to integrate a plant in the car.
The platform is designed to reflect the cellular features from different standards Mirror Link, Android Auto, Carplay Apple and Baidu CarLife. The driver should not have to take your eyes off the road, the functions can be controlled either via touchscreen, via buttons on the steering wheel or via voice control.
