NEW YORK, Nov. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Car and Driver and The Fesco Group, a leading manufacturer of branded consumer technology solutions, today announced the launch of the Intellidash+, a dashboard-mounted smart display with an IPS touchscreen. The Intellidash+ allows drivers to integrate their smartphone within the DIY-installation smart display, upgrading their car to include CarPlay/Android Auto without the expensive installation.
With Intellidash+, older makes and models can now have integrated smart screens without the expensive software installation or the need to purchase a new car. Installation couldn’t be easier; drivers simply mount the Intellidash+ to their dashboard and they are immediately ready to link up their phone to the seven-inch display.
The Intellidash+ includes voice control (Siri and Google) and is able to stream downloaded music, SiriusXM Satellite Radio or from an FM Transmitter. Just like with an onboard CarPlay and Android Auto, drivers can safely answer phone calls and text messages or view maps from the Intellidash+. It also includes a charging output for smartphones.
“The Intellidash+ is a one-of-a-kind product that will transform the way we drive, making every vehicle on the road a safe, technologically advanced vehicle,” said Raymond Levy, chief operating officer of The Fesco Group. “We are excited to add the intuitive and innovative Intellidash+ to the Car and Driver line of products.”
Other automotive accessories and gear in the Car and Driver line includes the all-new Car and Driver CoPilot Fatigue Monitor and Alarm, as well as a wide range of dashcams, FM transmitters and power adapters and chargers.
The Intellidash+ ($399) will be available on Nov. 1 and can be purchased through the Hammacher Schlemmer catalog and on the Hammacher Schlemmer website.
