Harman International Industries — the company behind such audio giants as Harman Kardon and JBL — has announced it is supported the Android Open Accessory Protocol. That’s the feature announced back at Google IO in May that will let you connect your Android 3.1 tablet and Android 2.3.4 smartphone to, well, anything.
The obvious play here is for car audio, and Harman specifically mentions its Aha Radio service. But also look for navigation and steering wheel control, as well as being able to share music and movies to passengers’ seats as well.
No word on when we’ll see AOAP-enabled dash units, but it’s gonna be pretty sweet when we do. Check out the full press release after the break.
