Aha Integrates Applications For Ferrari

At the International Motor Show in Frankfurt, showed Harman International Aha app integration is developed for Ferrari. It's a big-name customer to a product little known, and could announce the future implementation Aha with other manufacturers.

Aha CNET given an exclusive look at the performance before the Frankfurt Motor Show.

Using the iPhone on the App Oh, and the combined amount of CPU Ferrari cloud-based services have become available, such as Slacker, Yelp, Twitter, and traffic. If you touch the sound card of the main unit display Aha, a list of services is a vertical menu.

Choose Slacker starts a flow of music from the service, and displays an interface that can mark favorites or ban the song being played. The interface allows you to choose one of the channels Slacker DJ Commissioner or a custom channel, similar to Pandora.

The search function instead of coffee as well, suggesting how they could implement more research Aha still useful for a pilot.

When the driver presses the button of traffic, the system also limits the results of the path, taking into account the direction of the car. The system reads the road disturbance to the driver.

As with other services, Aha, Aha-centered implementation of Facebook and Twitter for audio rather than text. When a driver chooses Facebook, the head unit will read the updates that show alone initially entered the update. The driver would be able to post tweets to do with the current location of the car or other variables.

During the demonstration, a representative said today Aha Ferrari has no plans to offer integrated management unit in an application model to production.
