“Experienced, highly skilled automotive electronics and infotainment specialists of today have the potential to inform the automotive customers on latest products, technologies and system solutions. Furthermore they are capable to convince consumers of the compatibility, flexibility and expandability of mobile infotainment convenience,” says Dennis Mayer from Axion AG. The company develops and markets advanced monitoring, fleet management and entertainment systems for vehicles of all kinds. A prominent example for the company’s professional product portfolio is the Axion NIK (Navigation Integration Kits). The NIK provides perfect navigation retrofitting into a large range of vehicles – for example from Volkswagen, Audi, BMW and Mercedes – which have original factory monitors but, however, no navigation on board. For the KIT’s retrofitting it is not required to replace the original radio. The navigation screen is put into operation via click on a button on the steering wheel or on a separate button on the monitor to make the navigation conveniently operable via the supplied remote control. An optional touch screen function for navigation on the original monitor can also be retrofitted if required.
