Harman’s next-gen infotainment system to go into Suzuki Ignis

Harman, the audio and infotainment company, has bagged Suzuki Motor Corporation’s contract to supply infotainment units for its Ignis.

This supply mandate marks the first infotainment system for the Japanese market to be embedded with Apple CarPlay from a Japanese automaker.

The system adopted for the new Ignis boasts full special HMI (Human Machine Interface) to ensure driver safety, easy smart phone integration to keep drivers eyes on the road and Harman’s navigation. In addition, the system supports Apple CarPlay, offering users a safer and more pleasurable experience using their Apple iPhone in their car by allowing the various functions of their iPhone, including calls, music playback and messaging to be controlled through the car’s display. Additionally, the system also allows the use of the voice-recognition function.
