German Magazine Focus is reporting (Google translation) that Apple is working on car navigation and sound systems. Apple is said to be working for an introduction in 2009, working with Mercedes exclusively for 6 months.
The system is reported to include "entertainment, communication, and navigation," similar to devices already on the market.
According to FOCUS-sources, the device, that the computer maker is presently developing combines entertainment, communication and navigation in a single device.
Mercedes will exclusively offer the new Apple device for six months, with an expected market introduction targeted for 2009. It is still unclear whether Apple - as in the case of the iPhone - will rely on Google Maps for navigation help.
Focus is a popular German magazine, though its track record in Apple rumors remains unproven.
