Hong-Kong Innotrends has launched the Android 2.3 Ca-Fi-based in-car infotainment systems to be used. Designed for 2-DIN dashboard and running at 1.2GHz Cortex A8 CPU and 512MB RAM, Ca-Fi 6.2-inch 800 x 480 (resistive) touchscreen, 3G modem to surf the web, GPS to handle in-car navigation applications, Bluetooth support for hands-free calling and audio output of 4x45W.
Displaying a custom graphical user interface (GUI), the unit comes with a built-in 8GB of storage, music streaming capabilities, two SD card slots and USB inputs, the availability of DVD playback and FM radio. Ca-Fi can be operated via controls on the steering wheel.
Most new cars today come with a specially designed multimedia equipment but some car owners might be tempted by Android unit, as long as the dashboard of their vehicle is equipped with a 2-DIN connection. Here's a list Innotrends' compatible vehicles.
Ca-Fi infotainment system is scheduled for European launch in Spring 2012 (Northern Hemisphere), while no word on pricing and availability outside of Europe at the moment (which is not surprising given that the 2-DIN connections are rare in the U.S.).
The device will be showcased during the Hong Kong Electronics Fair, 13-16 October.
