Infotainment
Our infotainment solutions for vehicle cockpits offer a wide range of options, including powerful central ECUs, compact cluster solutions, and adaptive haptics controls. These control elements appear only when needed.
Cockpit integration platform
An important development for E/E architectures is the centralization in domain computers. Within these architectures, our cockpit integration platform is the ideal solution for your infotainment domain.
With the cockpit integration platform, you benefit from holistic display and operating concepts on various displays in the vehicle interior – with a single ECU for maximum efficiency. The high system performance offers the necessary capacity for current and future applications in the areas of entertainment, connectivity, driver information, personalization, as well as camera systems for the vehicle interior and surroundings. With us, you can provide your customers with a highly individual brand experience.

Connected cluster
Instrument cluster and head unit in a single product. The connected cluster provides a smart combination of driver information, entertainment, and smartphone integration.
Create entirely new infotainment experiences for your customers: driver information and entertainment can be combined on one or two displays. For features such as smartphone integration, voice assist, or media players, we adapt our solutions to your specific application – for example, in vehicle integration and HMI – to achieve the best possible customer experience. If you are searching for a solution that is both smart and practical, our connected cluster is the ideal solution.

Adaptive haptics controls
The adaptive keys of the control panel only become active when required. The system detects hand proximity, activates the currently required control function, and thereby enables whole new ways of interacting with the vehicle.
Using touchscreens inside a vehicle can be a massive distraction in road traffic. Control panels with adaptive haptics controls can be operated by your customers intuitively and without distractions. Due to their reactive surface, the keys only become visible to the user when the situation requires it. When inactive, the keys remain invisible, thereby enabling completely new design possibilities in the cockpit. Adaptive haptics controls can replace both analog and digital keys and buttons.

We adapt the controls to your exact requirements. The hidden control panels can be employed throughout the vehicle interior to perform many different functions. Not only can they be used to operate the central display, but other possibilities are feasible as well, such as adjusting the side mirrors or the seats. This means that fewer buttons are required inside the vehicle.
We are happy to assist you with the layout and design, and we will tailor the adaptive haptics controls to your exact requirements and your individual brand identity. We can also assist you with the UX and UI concepts, so that your customers can experience our adaptive haptics controls to optimum effect.
- Greater safety for your customers: the driver’s attention remains on the road
- Greater design freedom for you: the concept of hidden control panels opens up completely new possibilities for the interior design
- Innovative UX and UI concepts, which we can help you to develop
- The functionality of the keys can be tailored to your specific requirements. The adaptive haptics controls support long and short presses as well as rotating motions, making them extremely versatile regarding the potential applications
