More winners may be revealed at the actual CES show in January, as some companies choose to keep their products under wraps until then.
For 2017, in the In-Vehicle Audio-Video category, one company won a “The Best of Innovation Award” for the segment, namely Bosch for a “first of its kind” OEM device integrating head unit functionality into the instrument cluster for motorcycles.
Here are the 2017 Innovation Award Winners in In-Vehicle Audio-Video:
Bosch–Best of Innovations In-Vehicle Audio-Video
TE, LVCC, Central Hall, Booth #14128
The Bosch ICC is the first of its kind motorcycle audio system integrating head unit functionality into the motorcycle’s instrument cluster. The HMI clearly displays nothing more (and nothing less) than the information essential to riders looking to take their experience to the next level.
It uses Bluetooth to stream audio from your phone and present turn by turn directions and it also can use WiFi to add a visual display of moving map.
This is an OEM product and the first motorcycle company to use it is KTM in its 2017 Adventure 1290.
Users see the normal instrument cluster with speed and fuel level, but now they also see the song playing and they can skip songs and operate their phone via handle bar controls for safety.
The unit has a special coating so the screen is viewable in direct sunlight.
