The experience acquired by Magneti Marelli Electronic Systems in the field of satellite navigation began in 1991 with the Venus project.

 

Interest in this topic gradually increased during the course of the years, until 1997 with the development of RPNAV 200, a satellite navigation system equipped with a 5.6'' display and a DIN BOX.

 

In 2000, the first product intended for the OE market is launched, Connect for Alfa Romeo 147.

 

This system incorporates navigation, cell phone, trip computer, voice commands and car entertainment functions into a single device.

 

Magneti Marelli Electronic Systems supplies telematic components to the Fiat Group (Fiat, Alfa Romeo-Maserati, Lancia), to the PSA group (Peugeot and Citroen) and to the Chinese car manufacturers SAIC and DPCA.

 

Infotelematic systems may be equipped with colour display (for map navigation) or single-colour display (for pictogram navigation).

 

The architecture can be the double DIN type with built-in display or single-DIN type with remote display.
