The Internet in the car is already a reality. Modern navigation programs make it possible to receive information about the traffic situation in real time (online traffic jams). But to have this function available, the multimedia device must be connected to the global Internet.
Since the standard car radio does not have the ability to interact with the Internet, this function cannot be implemented in the original firmware version. Menaco Customware solves this problem. The Internet has become available on standard multimedia devices.
Menaco Internet
Menaco Internet software provides a revolutionary way to connect your car multimedia to the Internet. The navigation programs included in Menaco Customware (for example, Navitel Navigator, Google Maps, Yandex.Navigator, etc.) now have access to the Internet.
