Collaborating with Volkswagen to deliver a market-defining user experience to MirrorLink connected cars


RealVNC work very closely with Volkswagen and all major mobile phone OEMs providing a mature, high-performance MirrorLink implementation. This close cooperation has brought many new major mobile phone vendors to the ecosystem. Using our VNC Automotive™ MirrorLink Certified™ solution in their handsets provides fast time-to-market and guaranteed MirrorLink Certification.As part of our continuous improvement process, we are pleased to declare our commitment to Volkswagen to refine and perfect the overall end-to-end user experience for MirrorLink enabled devices.

Using our unique position in the industry as a vendor of full MirrorLink software stack technology, for both ends of the connection (in the car and mobile devices), RealVNC are able to realise a highly optimised MirrorLink solution where both ends are designed and guaranteed to work well together. Thus ensuring fast response times and a smooth driver experience. As the industry strives to ensure a high level of interoperability and consistent user experience, knowing the mobile devices have the same underlying software stack is a significant assurance to Volkswagen.
