HARMAN Interoperability Testing For IVI Systems

Smart In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems deliver an intuitive, appealing and fully connected lifestyle thus transforming in-vehicle experience. Vehicle infotainment, navigation, mobile device and telematics can be synchronized to provide a coherent system and a simple interface for the driver. Ensuring that all these components of the IVI system work together is complex, and the operation needs to be assured against a variety of software updates for mobile communications platforms such as, Android and iOS, Automotive Projection Modes (Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and BAIDU CarLife), and interoperability with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and USB standards.

Interoperability testing for IVI systems

“As an automaker, I understand the increasing need for software components in a vehicle. Hence, the cost and adverse impact of non-interoperability can be immense. It is very likely that certain issues can escape testing during the production phase since all kinds of real-life scenarios are difficult to comprehend and reproduce in an in-house environment. HARMAN helps us in extensively covering the standard interoperability conformance test cases. These tests are field-proven and have been used to validate vehicles of different automakers worldwide."
