Sony App Remote Showing Control Of Samsung Galaxy SIII

In this video, filmed deep inside Sony’s UK headquarters recently, Dave from Sony shows us some of the cool stuff that the new 2013 range of Sony car electronics has to offer. In particular, we see the Samsung Galaxy SIII being bossed by a small car radio. With Sony App Remote, the fairly plain-looking single DIN deck in the video can take the SIII and set any app running on the phone. The audio output runs via Bluetooth streaming back to the head unit to be the source for the speakers in your car. Aimed more at Android phone users, this is a jolly clever bit of tech. Here, we see the video player triggered and get a bit of Florence and the Machine. In our house, we thought the line in her current hit ‘Sweet Nothings’ was in fact ‘˜Sexeee Elephants’ Next time you hear it, turn it down a little and squint with your ears.

There is a cluster of more of the brand-new-for-2013 Sony in car head units on the bench and we will get a look at them good and soon. Well thought out and with a wide selection of modern digital features, the new range would seem to be about the price points as ever, with either full control of remote music kegs, be they iPloppy or Robotty and/or Bluetooth circuitry.
