Garmin Unveils Enhanced Unified Cabin Suite at CES 2024
Garmin Automotive OEM is set to showcase its latest innovations at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2024, with a focus on its Unified Cabin suite of automotive electronics solutions. The demonstration, which will be on display at the LVCC West Hall, Booth 3519, promises an immersive experience of the Unified Cabin, both in-vehicle and in a demonstration buck.
According to Matt Munn, Managing Director of Garmin Automotive OEM, the company has built on the success of Unified Cabin with new technologies for monitoring the cabin, new customization capabilities, improvements to the user experience, and the addition of Dolby Atmos audio, zoned voice assistance, improved device connectivity automation, and entertainment options.
Unified Cabin, first revealed at CES 2023, is a scalable portfolio of Garmin Automotive OEM technologies and design innovations. The suite offers unique branded HMI theming capabilities across each zone, allowing personalization of UI, system sounds, lighting, etc. This means that automakers can offer downloadable themes and partner with third parties for an ever-fresh HMI look and feel.
One of the standout features of Unified Cabin is the zoned voice assistant. This technology provides contextual, personalized infotainment results to any seat occupant through their individual zone's audio and personal display. This ensures that every passenger has a seamless and personalized in-vehicle experience.
Garmin Automotive OEM also introduces unique features for linking personal wireless devices across multiple zones, with or without Ultrawideband (UWB) technologies. This allows for a more connected and streamlined in-car experience, where devices can effortlessly communicate and share information.
In addition to these features, Unified Cabin is fully integrated into Garmin's Domain Controller with a single SoC and a single instance of Android Automotive OS. This integration ensures smooth and efficient operation, while the expanded use of Cabin Monitoring Camera aims to reduce driver distraction through a responsive UI.
The search results do not provide specific information about which automobile manufacturers are participating in Garmin Automotive OEM’s demonstration at CES 2024 or about the use of new features like Unique branded HMI theming, automatic linking of personal mobile devices, Instrument Cluster Theater Mode, zoned Voice Assistant, Expanded Cabin Monitoring Camera, or the new Dolby Atmos technology. However, it is known that Garmin Automotive OEM provides hardware and software solutions to leading automobile manufacturers like BMW Group, Daimler, Ford, Honda, Mercedes Benz, Nissan, Toyota, Geely, Kawasaki, and Yamaha Motor.
Other notable features of Unified Cabin include Instrument Cluster Theater Mode and Garmin Display SentryTM. These allow the driver to use the full display for gaming and video entertainment in Level 3+ driving mode or while parked. This provides an added layer of entertainment and convenience for drivers and passengers alike.
Overall, Garmin's Unified Cabin suite promises to revolutionize the in-vehicle experience, offering a more personalized, connected, and immersive experience for all passengers. Be sure to visit Booth 3519 at the LVCC West Hall during CES 2024 to experience these innovations firsthand.
