Updating inTOUCH NET

Our inTOUCH NET product completely changed the way that our customers interact with their vehicles and the Infinitybox system.  They have a universal interface that is fast, responsive and flexible plus it doesn’t require any custom apps.  Their vehicle can be controlled from Apple, Android and Windows smart devices with ease.

Just like the rest of the Infinitybox hardware, inTOUCH NET can be updated in the field using code that we create for you.  Give our technical support team a call with the changes that you need for your inTOUCH NET and we will email you the files necessary to implement the changes.
