12th August 2026 – (Hong Kong) A credit‑card‑thin wireless hub dubbed Hermix Nano promises to turn spare tablets into full‑featured in‑car displays, bringing wireless CarPlay for iPhone and wireless Android Auto for Android handsets to vehicles that never had a modern infotainment system. Once paired, the device boots automatically when you enter the car, presenting the driving‑optimised interfaces most motorists know from newer dashboards, with simplified layouts, large touch targets, quick media controls and voice assistants designed to minimise distraction.
The setup is intended to be entirely non‑invasive: mount a tablet, power the Hermix Nano, connect in the companion app, and pair your phone. A bundled 1080p rear camera can be wired to the back of the vehicle so the tablet switches instantly to a reversing view when you select reverse, then returns to navigation or audio the moment you shift out, removing the need to tap through menus. The app also introduces tablet‑specific options such as split‑screen views, a pared‑back HUD mode and a compact mini‑map, while five customisable hardware keys on the unit offer quick access to common functions including volume, track skip, calls and map launch.
To suit different cabins, the display rotates between portrait and landscape, and the interface supports both left‑hand‑drive and right‑hand‑drive layouts. Brightness‑aware light and dark modes aim to improve legibility day and night, and firmware updates are delivered over the air to add features and refine performance over time. The companion software is available on the App Store and Google Play, enabling both iOS and Android users to access the full feature set after the first pairing.
Early pricing is listed at US$74, below a US$99 retail, with a claimed 25 per cent saving for the initial offer. The single‑kit package includes the Hermix Nano unit, a 1080p rear camera, USB‑C cabling and a user guide, with optional multi‑packs and a low‑cost tablet holder add‑on. Shipping is indicated to begin in October 2026 to major markets including the US, Canada, the EU, the UK, Australia, Japan, South Korea and Singapore. The product is presented by Hong Kong Hermes Technology Limited, which pitches the hub as a cost‑effective upgrade for older cars and for drivers dissatisfied with sluggish factory systems.
