DETROIT Panasonic Automotive Systems Company of America (PASA) announced today that its integrated control unit for the Chrysler Dodge Charger Uconnect Garmin navigation system has been rated highest among factory-installed systems in a J.D. Power and Associates study.
The 2011 U.S. Navigation and Satisfaction StudySM identified six factors that contributed to customer satisfaction: ease of use, routing, navigation display screen, speed of system, voice directions and voice recognition. The study also considered the number of reported problems for every 100 navigation systems. A lower score for this measure reflected higher quality.
According to J.D. Power, the Garmin system fitted to the Dodge Charger was cited particularly for quality and performance of the navigation screen, the ease of use, and for other system speed factors.
PASA supplied the system control unit that integrates the features and functions of the Chrysler Uconnect system showcasing Chrysler’s user-friendly approach on the Dodge Charger to today’s connected in-vehicle technology. From music and navigation to vehicle settings, the Uconnect system intuitively delivers the information that drivers and passengers need in the moment, and allows drivers to remain focused on the road.
The system was created as a result of a two-year collaborative effort between Panasonic and Garmin. Panasonic engineers worked with Garmin to fully integrate Garmins capabilities.
The Uconnect Touch 8.4N comes complete with Garmins simple and intuitive user interface a feature familiar to millions of customers through its consumer navigation product lines. The new Uconnect Touch system harnesses Garmin horsepower of more than six million points of interest and local searches, and combines that power with Sirius Satellite Radio information, including traffic and Sirius Travel Link weather, fuel prices, movie listings and sports.
