4 People.  30 Days.  No QNX Experience.

Dear valued QNX Customer

We all know that creating an automotive user interface can typically eat up an extraordinary amount of development time. But not everyone knows that UI development can happen extremely fast with the right application framework and OS beneath it.

From prototype to product in days, not months

At the beginning of May 2011, QNX Software Systems approached Lixar, a company that designs and develops mobile web applications, and asked them to completely reskin a QNX-based head unit for Telematics Update on June 8. Lixar accepted the job – and the tight timeframe – even though they had no prior QNX experience.
 
A demo car, retrofitted with a QNX-based head unit, was recently on display at Telematics Update 2011 with this newly skinned UI. Atendees were able to see ‘living’ proof of how the QNX CAR Application Platform could help cut some serious time to market.
