Drive safely. This is another of the priorities of mobile manufacturer Nokia. To demonstrate this, it has presented during the IAA in Frankfurt, an application that will connect Nokia mobiles to the car and achieve a perfect union between the two elements. In this way, the driver does not have so many distractions. This application is called Nokia Car Mode.
The application, which is based on MirrorLink technology, will be available for download during the last three months of this year 2011 from the Ovi store and will be compatible with the latest mobiles from the Nordic company that include the new icon system Symbian Belle. That is: Nokia 600, Nokia 700 and Nokia 701. On the other hand, MirrorLink is a wired connection standard, which allows smart phones to connect to screens or other car systems.

On the other hand, according to Nokia, with this application the user can launch different functions of the mobile phone, such as: make use of the Nokia Drive function - voice-guided GPS navigation - as well as make or receive calls or, for example, listen to the music stored in the internal memory of the smartphone. That is, it would get to the car, connect the mobile with Symbian Belle by cable to the car and it would be ready to work as the great brain of the car.
The first audio brand to take an interest in this application and full integration has been Alpine. For this, it has presented the first commercial solution which has been baptized with the name of Alpine ICS-X8, a system that is integrated into the dashboard of the car and that consists of a seven-inch touch screen from where the driver can access all the menus in a very easy and intuitive way. However, at the IAA fair it was also commented that this is only the beginning and that it is expected that as the months go by, developers will begin to prepare more applications compatible with MirrorLink technology.and the functions that can be controlled from the car are not based solely on music, GPS navigation or the hands-free function.
