Well according to a press release from last june, QNX CAR is in over
150 million cars in the infotainment system, (and dashboard management
in many cases since those are often combined now).  They list Audi,
BMW, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar, Land Rover, KIA, Maserati,
Mercedes-Benzh, Porche, Toyota and Volkswagen as users of it.

And that's just QNX CAR, not counting all their other variants for
other markets.
