Never risk a fine or miss out on replying to a message again - Chris lets you send or reply to WhatsApp & SMS messages, make hands-free calls, navigate seamlessly and play music through your car stereo without you ever having to touch your phone. Chris listens and responds like a real co-driver. Gesture control lets you make selections or adjust the volume by swiping your hand in front of the device. And if you lose network coverage, no problem - Chris also works offline.

VOICE ASSISTANT
Chris listens and responds to your requests with great accuracy, even in a noisy in-car environment. Control essential smartphone apps and services without taking your hands off the wheel or your eyes off the road.

GESTURE CONTROL
Need to do something quickly, like turn the volume up or skip a song? Use gestures. Chris can be controlled with the flick of a wrist.

OFFLINE USE
What happens when your network coverage drops out while you’re driving? No problem. Chris works both online and offline, meaning that if you enter a tunnel Chris will continue to work.

MESSAGING
Send and receive WhatsApp & SMS messages on the go. Chris reads the messages you receive out loud and enables you to respond via dictation. Stay in the conversation while you're driving without having to ever pick up your smartphone or take your eyes off the road.

NAVIGATION
Turn-by-turn navigation makes getting to the office or working your way through traffic easy and painless. Unlimited, constantly updated global maps included. Plus: never miss a junction with Turn Assist, which shows you a full color, easy to read map view of an upcoming turn.

CALLS
Make and receive phone calls with Chris. Tell Chris who you want to call with your voice and the device will select the right number from your contacts. Flick through with your hand to choose between home and mobile numbers, or contacts with the same first name.

MUSIC
"Hey Chris, play The Rolling Stones..." Control your music with voice and gesture. Chris can play your entire phone library, so you don't need to fiddle with your phone while you drive.
