ScreenLinq allows to extend or replicate a computer screen to an in-car display. The tool is useful whenever is necessary to project any graphical content from the computer on the in-car display. Therefore, ScreenLinq mostly finds a place during concept development or evaluation of different concepts and ideas. These activities are performed on test benches or directly in a car during UX testing or prototype demonstration. Therefore, UX designers can test a user interface in real-time due to touch screen gestures support.

The main advantages of ScreenLinq usage are seamless integration with existing software and operating systems, various displays that are supported (can be preset
or user-defined), and overall user-friendly operation. ScreenLinq can be easily customized, it offers exceptional reliability and a wide range of accessories for an affordable price.

To operate ScreenLinq in standalone mode, only four steps are required: connect an in-car display via FPD-Link III interface and micro-harness cable; select the desired display profile; apply power; and connect ScreenLinq to a computer with an HDMI cable. If CAN communication or advanced features (such as touch gestures) are required, simply connect ScreenLinq to the computer with a USB cable.

ScreenLinq can also provide power to the in-car display directly.

Display size profiles for eight of the most commonly used VW Group in-car displays are already pre-loaded (see the Technical Parameters section below). Furthermore, on request, it is also possible to adapt the device to any additional display profiles.
