While the latter indicates only support from certain car manufacturers (including BMW, Honda, Ferrari, Mercedes, Nissan and others) for easier connection to Apple devices with automotive systems , Google's co-operation with Audi refers to the development of complete integrated navigation and multimedia system based on Android.
