Huawei launches HiCar-enabled smart in-car display

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- On Dec. 21, Huawei, the global leading ICT infrastructure and smart device provider, launched a smart in-car display, which is the first aftermarket-installed product powered by HUAWEI HiCar, the company's self-owned solution for auto smart connectivity.

Based on distributed technology, HUAWEI HiCar is able to form a connection between Apps in a mobile phone and Huawei's newly-launched smart screen, according to Huawei. Apps can be automatically connected to the display as long as the pairing is made when a user uses the sceen for the first time.

By virtue of the audio-to-video separation, the data about image and sound can be transferred via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. For instance, if the linkage between an App and a vehicular audio system was formed before the intelligent display is applied, a user does not need to change the original connection method after the introduction. 

Huawei’s in-car smart screen uses an 8.9-inch IPS screen. It has a 6mm narrow frame, a resolution of 1920×720 and a UI design. Its front camera can record 2160x1440P driving video. Besides, the display also adopts a camera available for multi-lane driving record thanks to an F1.8 large aperture and a 135 degree wide-angle lens.

HUAWEI HiCar is now supports 30 plus Apps, including the mainstream navigation Apps like Baidu and AutoNavi and the music Apps of NetEase Cloud Music, Migu and Sougou.

The in-car smart display is priced at 1,699 yuan ($260). Presale will kick off on Dec. 30 with the online and offline sales channels opening at the same time.
