MirrorLink coming to 2014 VW models

[Darren]

MirrorLink is a global standard for in-car connectivity, developed by the Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC).

Alongside news that app developers can now begin coding solutions using version 1.1 of their standard they have announced that MirrorLink will go into 2014 series production for Volkswagen.

MirrorLink allows apps running on smartphones to integrate with in-dash displays and vehicle mounted controls for a seamless user experience.

hmm...interesting but a bit short on detail (less than in the email newsletter!) For example, will there be some sort of plug-in to make present VW dash displays take advantage of it? What competing systems/standards are there out there? Which is favoured and by whom?
