Windows Embedded Automotive 7 Deep Dive: Phone Core and Media Core 73
Appendix 4: Compatible Deviceslists the compatible devices as of this document’s publication
date.
During extensive testing in the Device Lab, Microsoft engineers make a reasonable effort to
work around device issues. The engineers inform device manufacturers when incompatibility
and specification compliance issues are discovered during testing. If problems with compatible
devices are discovered, the Microsoft Auto QFE process is used to address them.
Microsoft provides device interoperability testing and software patches so that devices that may
not strictly adhere to standards function correctly with Automotive 7 products. Automotive
OEMs benefit from the Device Lab testing, which provides the OEMs the ability to focus on other
development areas.
Conclusion
Windows Embedded Automotive 7 provides a proven, highly reliable, and extensible software
platform and hardware reference design on which automakers can distinguish themselves by
building innovative solutions to help drive sales and customer loyalty. In particular, the Phone
Core and Media Core components provide automakers, suppliers, and developers with the
building blocks that they need to set themselves apart from the rest of the field while quickly
and reliably creating a broad range of advanced in-vehicle solutions that meet the growing
needs of automotive consumers.
