LOUISVILLE, KY – Technologies that enable vehicles to do more than ever before — notify drivers of mechanical or electronic problems, reroute themselves around stopped traffic or congested highways, send e-mail messages to notify owners of an equipment malfunction or collision, and entertain drivers and passengers with music, movies, and video games — are coming into the marketplace at an accelerating pace.

Delphi ’s Data Connectivity Systems enable OEMs to bring vehicle technologies inside truck cabs and sleeper compartments, according to www.foxbusiness.com.

 

 

Delphi’s Data Connectivity Systems, which include consumer ports, cables, hubs, and header connections, were on display at the 37th annual Mid-America Trucking Show, which was held Mar. 27-29.

 

 

Delphi’s Data Connectivity Systems can accommodate multiple consumer interfaces and link various systems within the vehicle, transforming cabs and sleeper units into multi-functional on-the-road communications/entertainment centers.

 

Interfaces between the electrical system and external consumer equipment can be located throughout the vehicle and may accommodate audio/video, telematics, and global positioning exchange, including standard USB ports for iPods and MP3 players, RCA jacks for video games, analog ports for headphones, and SD slots for photo cards.

Delphi’s Data Connectivity Systems can also be used to connect systems that track fleet vehicles and trailers, identify the location of stolen vehicles, provide remote diagnostics and satellite navigation, send and receive real-time computer data, and notify the driver that the temperature inside the trailer he’s towing is rising and that the refrigeration unit is running low on fuel.

 

The number, locations, and variety of consumer interfaces are USCAR-30 compliant. For more information about Delphi Corp., visit www.delphi.com.
