Expanded Touchscreen Dashboard Cars

The Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG's New Dash Launched at CES 2014

— January 8, 2014 — Autos
The Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG with QNX is so much more than just a pretty face. Although it looks like pure luxury, the interior is what will make your mouth drop with excitement and allure. The expanded touchscreen extends almost as far as the dashboard could be made. It extends 21-inches by seven-inches.

The interface itself will make you start pinching your pennies so you can one day own this car.

QNX has created an interface that far outweighs its 2013 reveal. The system can now run Android 4.3 Jellybean applications like iHeartRadio. It also offers fullband duplex stereo vehicle to vehicle calling.

QNX and its Car 2.0 platform are extraordinary inventions when it come to the navigation system in the vehicle. You don’t have to be sitting in the passenger or drivers seat to interact with the vehicle either. On a tablet you can add your favorite playlists or music.

A car of pure luxury for anyone able to get their hands on it.
