GENEVA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC), an organization driving global technologies for smartphone-centric car connectivity solutions, today announced that PSA Peugeot Citroën has announced at the Geneva International Motor Show the upcoming MirrorLink® compatibility of several of its vehicles. Now standard on more of today’s most popular vehicles and smartphones, MirrorLink is the most ingenious way to bring smartphone content to the dash. Huge icons make apps easy to use and smart technology knows if the car is in Park or Drive. Visitors at the Peugeot and Citroën booths will experience MirrorLink technology, in version 1.1, thanks to live demos from now through March 15.
The models planned for MirrorLink compatibility during 2015 are: Peugeot 108, New Peugeot 208, New Peugeot Partner, Citroën C1, New Citroën Berlingo, New DS 5.
“MirrorLink is a powerful way for automakers to enrich the connected driving experience,” said Brigitte COURTEHOUX, Director of PSA Peugeot Citroën’s Business Unit for Connected Vehicles and Services. “While it’s easy to say MirrorLink simply ports smartphone content to the dashboard, the technology does much more than mirroring. MirrorLink also adapts app functionality based on vehicle speed and other key factors, making it irresistibly intuitive for the millions of consumers in the world who already have MirrorLink-enabled smartphones.”
MirrorLink is the leading industry standard for car-smartphone connectivity and is designed for maximum interoperability between a wide range of smartphones and cars. MirrorLink is also the only OS- and OEM-agnostic standard for car-smartphone connectivity and the only vendor-neutral standard where no single entity has a controlling stake. MirrorLink thus offers the quickest global route to more responsible and enjoyable connected driving.
“PSA Peugeot Citroën’s MirrorLink fleet is a handsome addition to a growing worldwide market of mass-produced MirrorLink-enabled vehicles,” said Alan Ewing, President and Executive Director of the CCC. “Very soon it’ll be easier to name cars that do not have MirrorLink rather than the other way around.”
