Modern cars are equipped with advanced technology requiring cognitively complex
operation that is reliant on the user’s visual attention. It is therefore hazardous for drivers to
operate such devices while driving. In this paper a user interface interaction style for in-car user
interfaces are proposed. Users interact with the in-car computer using three chording keys and
chording pattern sequences are derived based on visual mnemonics. Cases are illustrated for an
in-car multimedia system, a mobile phone and a GPS-navigation system. Experimental results
demonstrate that the technique is easy to learn, efficient to use and require low visual attention.
