Audi has created a mobile device proto, which can function as a mobile phone, a media player, a navigator and a dashboard computer. The device supports Wi-Fi and UMTS, has a touchscreen display with handwriting recognition (Latin and Japanese characters).

In addition to traditional phone and player functions, the Audi device can open/close the car, store images taken by car onboard cameras, work as the navigation system and even turn on the car’s heating system before you leave the house (a good thing in cold mornings). The menu is based on the Audi MMI interface. The company hasn’t unveiled when it will launch the series production.
