Together, the two will offer a solution based on the Microsoft Auto software platform, bringing the future of in-car technology to Hyundai-Kia drivers worldwide.

We’ll first see the product in the North American market in 2010 where the voice-controlled connectivity will work between mobile phones and mp3 players. It will then spread out to Asia and European Markets and expand into multimedia and navigation devices.

The first product, a next-generation infotainment system that provides voice-controlled connectivity between mobile devices, will be introduced in the North American market in 2010. It will further apply to Asian and European markets, and expand into multimedia and navigation devices.
