CTOnews.com, June 25 (Xinhua)-- Volkswagen has submitted a patent to the German Patent and Trademark Office, which shows that Volkswagen is working on a removable car instrument and supports the use of mobile phones and tablets as car instruments.

CTOnews.com notes from the patent chart that in the original dashboard display location, users can place a larger and more powerful device, or directly install smartphones and tablets in this location.

At the same time, behind the movable screen, Volkswagen is equipped with a display that displays basic information, which will only be used to display driving information such as speed, energy consumption, fault lights and so on.

As for the removable "display", it can be used to handle more information, such as navigation, media control and car phone functions.

Volkswagen also said that the removable dashboard / driver information display will allow users to continuously update and upgrade the car's software without affecting the operation of the vehicle. Users will only need to download the specified App on the mobile device, and if the vehicle supports Bluetooth, NFC and network connection, the above interaction can be realized between the mobile phone and the vehicle.
