u-blox launches the JODY-B1 automotive Bluetooth module, enabling multi-device simultaneous connections to create a powerful in-car entertainment solu
2025-12-29
U-Blox (SIX: UBXN), a leading global provider of positioning and wireless communication technology and services, announced the launch of JODY-B1, a Bluetooth device that meets automotive grade standards ® The module is capable of supporting multiple Bluetooth dual-mode (classic mode and low-power mode) connections simultaneously.
As cars gradually become closely interconnected entertainment spaces, drivers and passengers increasingly expect to be able to independently control their in car audio and gaming experiences. Although traditional combination modules support a small number of Bluetooth connections, they cannot expand the number of connections to provide a complete Bluetooth experience for all drivers and passengers in the car. JODY-B1 overcomes this limitation by supporting additional Bluetooth connections, allowing each connection to run independently and enabling each passenger to connect personal devices such as headphones, controllers, or tablets without causing interference or increasing system complexity between devices.
JODY-B1 is based on Qualcomm Snapdragon ® （Snapdragon ®） Built for the automotive connectivity platform and QCA8695AU automotive grade chipset, it combines three major advantages: support for low-power audio mode (LE Audio), ability to operate at temperatures up to 105 º C, and a compact 13.8 × 19.8mm form factor to provide high-performance connectivity in space constrained automotive environments. Its UART interface based on the host and global certifications (FCC, RED, ISED, UKCA, Bluetooth Technology Alliance) simplify system integration, enabling car manufacturers and Tier One to quickly deploy multiple Bluetooth instances.
As a member of the u-blox JODY module series, JODY-B1 ensures cross generational Wi Fi ™ Consistency and scalability in design with Bluetooth solutions. With this cross generational continuity, coupled with u-blox's proven expertise in the automotive industry, it can help car manufacturers simplify certification processes and ensure supply security for long-term production cycles.
Based on Snapdragon ® （Snapdragon ®） The automotive grade Bluetooth technology provided by the automotive connectivity platform, combined with our collaboration with u-blox, is condensed into such a compact module, making large-scale personalized in car entertainment feasible, "said Riccardo Calabro, Senior Sales Director of Qualcomm Germany. By combining our platform with u-blox's JODY-B1 module, car manufacturers can support multiple concurrent Bluetooth connections for each driver and passenger with lower integration complexity, all of which help provide advanced personalized in car experiences and accelerate product launch. ”
With its unique multi device connectivity, robust automotive grade certification, and pre certified global compliance, JODY-B1 provides car manufacturers with a ready to use, future oriented solution that simplifies design, reduces risk, and enhances the in car experience.
The JODY-B1 engineering samples and evaluation kit are now available.
