JVC, Kenwood partner on car tech development
According to a translation of the official press release on Kenwood's Web site, the two companies "plan to jointly develop a navigation engine that will require an unprecedented amount of development resources for navigation system devices." The document also suggested that the new company intends to develop a new in-car multimedia platform for audio and video.
Both JVC--which earlier this year announced its intention to exit the domestic Japanese car audio market--and Kenwood currently offer a range of in-car products, most of which are single-DIN CD receivers. In the past year, they have both expanded into navigation and in-car multimedia systems, with JVC's KD-NX5000 and Kenwood's DNX7100 being their respective flagship products.
