The digital cockpit is here

Clusters are evolving from analog meters and gauges to all-digital clusters that provide the information you need for a safe, convenient and stress-free drive. Visteon’s all-digital clusters combine vehicle driving information including speed, fuel or charge level, trip distance computer, etc., with comfort information such as outside temperature, clock and air vent control. In addition, these digital clusters work with the vehicle infotainment system to control multimedia, browse a phone book or make a call, or select a destination address for navigation. In other words, the digital instrument cluster is a portal to the full electronics features of the modern automotive cockpit. Visteon’s digital clusters offer an intuitive user interface to present this information in an ergonomic and easy-to-consume manner, making your journey a relaxed and pleasant experience.

Driving the analog-to-digital transition

Visteon is helping car manufacturers transition from analog instrument clusters of the past to the all-digital control interface of the future. Visteon’s digital clusters offer rich 2D/3D graphics with over-the-air software upgrade and support for a majority of the car manufacturer’s vehicle networks. Three of the five top global car manufacturers use Visteon’s all-digital cluster solutions in their vehicles, making Visteon the market share leader in the industry.

Expertise in all aspects of cluster development

Digital instrument clusters are complex automotive-grade systems that include LCD, cover lens, touch screen, back light and other electronics components. Visteon has expertise in all these technologies and is the industry leader in the design, engineering and manufacturing of digital instrument clusters. Twelve of the top fifteen global car manufacturers use Visteon instrument clusters in their vehicles. Visteon’s digital cluster platform enables automakers to shorten the development time of next-generation digital clusters for new vehicle models.

Taking work out of the design workflow

Visteon’s RenderCore™ is an advanced graphics platform that gives designers the ability to develop 3D graphics before they are added to the vehicle’s instrument cluster. With RenderCore™, automakers can tap the skillset of the much larger gaming community, rather than relying on hiring or training specialized automotive developers. By eliminating the need for well-known automotive-specific design tools, RenderCore™ not only simplifies and streamlines the workflow, but also saves licensing costs and gives designers and engineers the creative freedom to deploy and preview any number of designs before final target.
