Test drive mySPIN from Bosch: perfect integration of smartphones into the car

With a navigation application, you drive the shortest route to the next meeting in your personal calendar, listening to music on Internet radio while looking for a room in the right hotel - this situation will become more and more familiar to us.

Bosch car multimedia specialists have developed the mySPIN smartphone integration platform, which ensures the perfect connection between phone and car. You can use your favorite iPhone® and Android smartphone apps as you normally would.

Convenient control from the car display

The integration solution from Bosch SoftTec GmbH offers an almost identical design and control concept in the telephone and vehicle interface. Once installed on a mobile phone, mySPIN establishes a connection between it and the vehicle. The apps are adapted to the vehicle, i.e. are reduced to the relevant information that appears on the vehicle display.

“By integrating all critical applications into their vehicles, manufacturers will provide their customers with an attractive set of new services. In addition, smartphone connectivity allows direct communication through this new marketing channel, emphasizes Klaus Ritzloff, Sales Manager at Bosch SoftTec GmbH.

Through the web interface, vehicle manufacturers will be able to access vehicle data and offer customers new applications and services.

Variety of favorite apps

Applications are the driving force of the new system, and their number is constantly increasing. Many of the most used applications are already integrated into Bosch mySPIN, including calendar and contacts, media player, maps, as well as the familiar TomTom, Parkopedia, Winston, Hotelseeker, Glympse, Sticher and INRIX.

All of them are specially tuned for use while driving, so as not to distract the driver, but on the contrary - to ensure maximum safety. When creating new applications, there are no technical difficulties - developers are provided with a special set of tools for software development (Software Development Kit).

Car manufacturers can independently integrate applications and add them to the so-called "white list". It is constantly being updated and expanded. The first vehicles of the luxury European brand will soon be equipped with a smartphone integration platform from Bosch.
