Alpine has announced together with Nokia and NAVTEQ a strategic partnership to bring a new connected technology called Terminal Mode to car infotainment systems. This technology will provide Nokia’s Ovi services such as navigation, powered by NAVTEQ maps, through smartphones that are integrated into the car environment.
