Our cars do much more than get us from point A to point B. They are our command center, often serving as a conference room, a family lounge, and even a dressing vanity. We live so much of our lives in the car that it is only natural that we connect them to the rest of our life. This is where the infotainment system comes in.

Infotainment systems began to be introduced as convenience options in the early 2000s. The word is a mashup of information and entertainment, which highlights the primary purpose of the systems.
