Unfortunately we have nothing to do with software, we just make the LCDs and 
usually the Tier-1 company integrates it into the car.  A lot of the time 
the Tier-1 company will also outsource the software (or be directed to by 
the car manufacturer) because they can't do automotive grade software 
themselves.  If you are interested I can tell you the names of the 
automotive system integrators I've worked with here in southern Germany, you 
might find something on their websites somewhere?

Unfortunately not, our Engineering office is here in Munich (also with a 
small sales office next door), the sales HQ for Europe is in Hamburg.  We do 
support Ford Cologne (I've only been there once though), the main projects 
I've worked on with Ford have been run from Ford US though.

If you're interested in Ford and software, then you might be interested in 
their Sync module:

That's what we're interfacing with for new projects at the moment, looks 
like there might be some software development needed for that, but probably 
done in Ford US.
