I recently got a Mazda3, their newer MazdaConnect system is running an iMX6 (dual CortexA9 w/GPU and video accelerators) and uses Opera as the interface. All of the core UI is written in Javascript.
It's also highly hackable. =)

- joezydeco 10y agoThe UI is simple, there's nothing swipable by design and animations are minimal. It works quite well. I don't have the navigation enabled, so I can't speak to how responsive the map display it.
- Matthias247 10y agoThat's interesting. I don't know too much about what Mazda uses. Is there any documentation in the web about it?
- joezydeco 10y agoThere's a PCB teardown here http://www.2x4logic.com/mazdaconnect.html http://www.2x4logic.com/mazdaconnect.html It was designed by Johnson Controls (JCI) but the IVI group was recently sold to Visteon, which probably explains the sudden lack of momentum from Mazda on new features (like, cough, Carplay...which was announced 2 years ago and never showed up). Most of the people hacking on the unit hang out at mazda3revolution.com.
