The virtual cockpit's display isn't a touchscreen, which makes sense given its position behind the wheel. However, peeking at it upclose will let you pick out individual pixels. Thanks to antialiasing tricks and from the driver's seat, it actually looks plenty sharp. Though the screen isn't even approaching HD quality with its 1,440 x 540 resolution, one of Audi's design goals is to make the screen sharp enough that you can't discern individual pixels from a normal viewing distance. It was a mostly cloudy day with filtered sunlight, so I can't say for certain how easy it would be to read in full, direct sun. I sat in the TT convertible outside with the top down in the middle of the day, and I could easily read the display without any difficulty. It's bright and crisp with nice color and minimal glare. The experience of actually using the virtual cockpit all starts with the screen, and it's a good one. The Nvidia Tegra 3 lives at the heart of Virtual Cockpit's circuitry Crisp screen, clean interface The Tesla Model S, for instance, utilizes a similar chipset to drive a massive 17-inch touchscreen that's as responsive as a smartphone. The Tegra 3's processing power even allows for some unique touches, such as a 3D map view that lets you see the real-world contour of the roadway and landscape ahead of you.Īudi isn't the first to use Nvidia's Tegra 3 chip, however. Thanks to the chip, the cockpit screen is fast and responsive. This chip was designed for performance and rendering video at up to 60 frames per second and in 24-bit color. The space between the two digital gauges also changes to show maps, what song is playing on the radio or current weather conditions.Īt the heart of the virtual cockpit is a Nvidia Tegra 3 system-on-a-chip, the world's first quad-core mobile processor. It looks like a standard dashboard, but instead of dancing needles, the display simulates everything you'd normally see with digital doohickeys. It's all centered around a 12.3-inch, 1,440 x 540 display located behind the steering wheel.Ī traditional-looking speedometer lives on the right side of the screen and the tachometer (which reads RPM) rests on the opposite left side.
#AUDI DIGITAL COCKPIT DRIVER#
Makes my 2016 electronics seem REALLY outdated.The cockpit combines the functions of a traditional driver instrument panel and Audi's MMI systems. I was in my neighbor’s 2017 Infiniti the other day and his screen is so much nicer, not to mention the fact that it has CarPlay. Maybe something that can be hidden from the view by the press of a button, like on some newer vehicles.I’ll be really interested to see this once someone does the upgrade. I wish Audi had contoured the dash a bit differently so the aftermarket 10.25" screen doesn't look like someone stuck an Ipad on there and that's it. It lets me even get back to the regular Audi screen with a touch of a button. The resolution is unbelievable, HD quality.
#AUDI DIGITAL COCKPIT ANDROID#
So I have the Chinese product android 10.25 and honestly it never glitches, I watch movies on it, waze, YouTube and all other apps work perfectly fine. Maybe something that can be hidden from the view by the press of a button, like on some newer vehicles. Their units look incredible, they don't crash and resolution is really fantastic.
However, I am waiting on RSNAV to come out with their new hardware version 3.0 I think, and see about their option.
Still haven't gotten a 100% feedback if you can retain the satellite tuner.
I have a problem buying Chinese products, I feel like after reading the reviews and watching the videos the pixels and resolution is not up to par vs. They've carried the same screen and layout from 2008-2016/17, this should have been updated at 2013 point. On the Navigation Display screen comment, I have to agree 100%.
