Garmin Ltd. unveiled their K2 platform, next-generation automotive infotainment solution, at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The system intelligently combines digital displays, voice control, infrared buttons and smart phone integration to provide drivers access to everything from navigation to vehicle diagnostics, office features, communications, music and radio to real-time information from the Web. The innovative K2 platform has been designed and developed by Garmin's automotive OEM group and is a fully customizable and scalable solution to meet the diverse needs of any car manufacturer.

Garmin will offer individual in-vehicle demonstrations to selected industry members and the press in a private meeting room at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Garmin K2 features a 10-inch glove-friendly multi-touch screen at the center of the dash and a digital and reconfigurable 12- inch instrument panel behind the steering wheel. In addition to the standard gauges, the instrument panel provides the driver notifications and snapshots of information, such as navigation, communications, audio and vehicle information.

The K2 Platform is powered by the Jacinto 5-Eco processor and the OMAP 5(TM) platform from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI), which sports a dual-core ARM(R) Cortex(TM)-A15 foundation and multiple accelerators for high-performance, multimedia-rich infotainment features.
