"This morning, Chrysler launched a new update to UConnect: UConnect Access Via Mobile.

Chrysler also re-announced the ability to activate a navigation system on a car that was not ordered with one. According to Marios Zenios (Vice President of Uconnect Systems and Services), this is an industry first, “…a ‘no-customer-left-behind’ attitude.”*The *move will be especially handy for used-car buyers.

Nice that QNX also has a market other than off the assembly line! Smart thinking indeed by Chrysler.

UConnect is based on QNX and they have many Apps that the Playbook doesn't have. I don't get it. Aha, iHeartRadio, Pandora, TuneIn are all on Uconnect and QNX Car 2 but not on Playbook.

I'm thinking we will see those apps soon when BB10 is officially released.

That's because RIM has nothing to do with the agreements that are in place between the devs and Chrysler. QNX is simply the base OS. It isn't BlackBerry running UConnect

Exactly, when I think of QNX setting standards I think Dolby, THX, Blueray, Bluetooth and so forth, the actual media is secondary to such, yet that's where BB10 comes into play. One arm of RIM (QNX) sets standard and the other arm of RIM (BB10) feeds into those standards to tie it all in, friggin brilliant if you ask me.
