Xperi, LG Say IP-Delivered Broadcast FM Radio Technology for Cars Due Next Year

LG and Xperi announced development and integration of DTS Connected Radio technology in vehicles sold worldwide with the first implementation due next year from an undisclosed global car brand. DTS Connected Radio delivers a digital audio broadcast and HD Radio FM experience by pairing broadcast programming with internet-protocol-delivered content, they said Wednesday. The system aggregates metadata, such as station content information and on-air radio program, artist and song information directly from broadcasters. It will be the first global system to allow carmakers to create a common radio experience across different analog and digital broadcast systems deployed regionally, said Jeff Jury, general manager of Xperi automotive.
