Paris, April 11th 2012 - Parrot, leader in Automotive Connectivity solutions, announced today its OEM technology is integrated into a new vehicle platform by a major German car manufacturer, already a Parrot customer.
The models equipped within this project are hatchbacks, coupés and sedans. The Parrot solution is currently available in cars sold in Europe before expanding to other markets during 2012.
This solution includes state-of-the-art hands-free telephony features. It can handle and synchronize a phonebook containing up to 5.000 contacts. It is able to pair with four different mobile phones.
