QNX (owned by Harman International now) has a port of Flash Lite available alongwith the OS distribution. QNX is based on Unix and their Car platform comes with Flash Lite. The company provides users with a reference implementation to Flash Lite for selected platforms such as Freescale. To facilitate the adaption, QNX has put together a fairly large consortium consisting of hardware, software and OEMs. The company also has a portal where application developers can post their applications which would then be downloaded by car drivers.

The winds are changing again! An OS company is now not only providing you with an OS, but also complete reference platform alongwith application suite ready to go. Not only that, they are facilitating developers to upload their applications. Its almost like OS company is providing vision to OEMs and trying to influence their product development. I am not sure who all is shipping the product based on Flash LIte on QNX at the moment, but I am sure there will be monetization opportunities for some applications in time.
