hear and respond to an incoming text, and operate select apps such
as navigation and music, completely hands free. Together, the car
mount and app give you the best features of a connected car,

“New car owners can experience the luxury of a connected car,
but there are still tens of millions of older cars on the road,”
said Bracken Darrell, Logitech president and chief executive
officer. “As we look for ways to design products that are
thoughtful solutions to human needs, we realized there was an
opportunity to turn any car into a connected car. The result is the
Logi ZeroTouch. The smart mount and app work together to give you
the best features of a connected car, while keeping your eyes on
the road. We believe ZeroTouch will play a crucial role in turning
the look down and text, into the look up and talk.”
To get your car connected, simply snap your phone to the
magnetic air vent or dashboard mount to automatically trigger the
Android app, and speak freely. You can use your voice to place
calls, text back and forth, stream music using Spotify®, initiate
directions with navigation apps, such as Google Maps™ mapping
service or Waze, or easily share your location with friends and
family through Glympse® location service – all without ever
touching your phone.
Through natural language understanding, using the app feels like
talking casually to a person next to you in the car. A simple hand
gesture quickly wakes up the app to initiate a text or command, and
to eliminate errors, the app reads your text back before sending.
The app automatically informs you of incoming texts, and you decide
if you’d like to listen, respond or cancel without ever looking at
or touching your phone. Or, depending on the streaming music app,
you can request specific artists, songs, playlists, or genres, and
give commands like “pause” and “skip.”
