The kit from Intraphex can
be used with iPhones or Android phones “for every app you have on your
phone. There’s no jail breaking,” said Intraphex CTO Don Zaney.
“Mom can send videos to the back seat and you
are not limited to specific apps. For every app, you see the same
interface on the screen,” he said.
Kids can plug in their iPhone and run games that
display on the rear seat entertainment screen.
The kit is using
proprietary technology rather than MirrorLink,(a (standard that aims to allow any smartphone to be mirrored on any car radio
screen, but which has not yet taken off). Also the kit does not let you control
the apps from the car screen or radio, only view them.
Intraphex chose to release its kit with
proprietary technology rather than waiting for the MirrorLink standard to gain
a foothold, at least for the time being.
The car kit, called the S.I.D. for Smartphone
Integration Device will carry a suggested retail price of $599. It
includes the interface, wiring harness, and HDMI cable. Proprietary phone
adapters must be purchased from the phone manufacturer.
