Harman reveal new QLED infotainment system in GranCabrio

[IainS]

Harman have chosen the Maserati GranCabrio to exhibit their new QLED technology at the CES show. It is an interesting choice as they have given the car a whole new instrument cluster and centre console that bring the interior of a 10 year old design bang up to date.

Shame it'll never make production!

That is very flash! Although... while I'm a techno lover... I also like the refined, tactile and crafted interior that comes from wood, leather, etc... too many screens can be a bit much!

The little oled displays embedded in the switchgear adds some subtle modernism.

I'll order a retro-fit kit please. With two rolls of electrical tape and some tie-wraps.

Meh. They are OK in certain situations. (cf a couple of my how tos)

Come on mate, a soldering iron and some heat shrink wrap is the only way, you don't get Scotchloks on aeroplane wiring!

or how about those fuse piggy back thingies?

The best electrical car botch I have ever seen was a Japanese (RHD) import shed converted to LHD in use in Bolivia as a taxi. The whole dash was swapped over to LHD with the entire loom extended in the same color (green, I remember 15 years ago) cable. A sea of purest green!

Thread swerve, long day, sorry!

Soldered joints can crack, but yes, you're correct that you don't get scotchloks on planes. OTOH, my car is unlikely to fall out of the sky if the remote controlled boot release stops working

Similarly if my single piggy back fuse fails, my exhaust valves will be stuck open. Oh dear. How sad
