Adam's apple: Opel's small car uses iPhones and Android smartphones for IntelliLink-N


The new small car from Opel with the biblical name Adam is not only colorful, but also versatile. The new infotainment system called IntelliLink harbors namely for smartphone owners so many practical surprise.

Usually useful navigation systems, which are installed by the manufacturers in the car, almost outrageously expensive. Updates for software and maps often attack vulnerable deep into the wallet. Not surprisingly, however, that such a system for the Adam Opel in the most expensive version will cost just 300 euros.

This GPS is basically a registered passtes in the car seven-inch tablet that either via Bluetooth or USB with iOS devices, or - communicate Android smartphones and so, for example, stream music or navigation - and it's so rare in this device category can use apps. The audio system of the car acts as a hands-free, of course almost by itself updates for the IntelliLink can be loaded just like that with the help of the Internet connection on your smartphone.

Also handy: The BringGo navigation system can optionally be downloaded as an app on the mobile device, allowing off-line navigation with Navteq maps, even for cyclists and pedestrians. When determining the position of the GPS system then turn back to the iPhone or Android phone. What is not possible is to connect an external GPS antenna. Anyway recommended that the optional mobile phone holder named "FlexDock" used to buy for 90 euros, so the phone is not in doubt in the center tunnel is no clear view to the satellite.

Otherwise announced is another app called "Mirror Link," which makes it possible to duplicate the screen of your smartphone on the display in the car. The first acts gemoppelt twice where IntelliLink itself is only a kind of terminal to the smartphone as a server, but the latter prepares the raw tax data from the phone still on even visually.

Overall, I personally find this approach awesome. With young people is precisely the target group of the Adam Opel is usually already equipped with a smart phone that supports most functions of a traditional in-car infotainment system. So why all expensively build again when this combination can get the most from the latest technology?
