In-car entertainment (ICE) or in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) is a collection of hardware and software in automobiles that provides audio or video entertainment. In-car entertainment originated with vehicle audio systems that consisted of radios and tape cassette or CD players and now includes automotive navigation systems, video players, USB and Bluetooth connectivity, carputers, in-car Internet, and Wi-Fi. Once controlled by simple dashboard knobs and dials, ICE systems can include steering wheel audio controls, handsfree voice control, touch-sensitive preset buttons, and a touchscreen. Some systems have rearview cameras and side cameras for better safety.
