CUTTING EDGE: The second generation Automatic Link Adaptor can support third-party Bluetooth streaming.
The startup company whose adaptor and accompanying smartphone app can turn pretty much any vehicle built since 1996 into a truly connected car is now hoping to revolutionise the way that consumers interact with the cars in the same way that the iPhone redefined how we use mobile phones.
Back in May 2013, Automatic unveiled a little matchbox-sized adaptor in the US, called the Link, which plugged into a car's diagnostics port and enabled it to talk to a smartphone via an app.
