Karlsruhe, Germany – March 26, 2025:
Cinemo, a global leader in high-performance digital media solutions for vehicles, has launched its latest product offerings—CARS Connect Direct, CARS Connect Audio, and CARS Connect Camera. These new additions to the expanding CARS Connect Suite are built on the Android Automotive OS (AAOS) and are designed to transform vehicles into advanced hubs of entertainment, connectivity, and productivity by integrating both built-in and external devices.
As connected vehicles become the norm, passengers increasingly expect in-car entertainment to offer the same level of versatility and seamless user experience as their home media systems. CARS Connect Direct allows passengers to effortlessly access infotainment and control media, navigation, climate, and more directly from their personal devices, eliminating the need to install additional apps.
CARS Connect Audio addresses the challenge of differing passenger preferences by enabling each individual to control their own audio zone. This innovative feature ensures that every passenger can enjoy their preferred content—whether music, podcasts, videos, or even video conferencing—without impacting others in the vehicle.
Additionally, CARS Connect Camera provides an exciting opportunity for passengers to leverage their own devices for business or personal video calls during car rides, enhancing productivity and enabling users to capture and share memorable moments with ease.
For automakers, the new CARS Connect Suite capabilities bring immense value by simplifying the integration of multi-device support and enhancing the overall appeal of the in-car experience. Abe Silhan, Director of Portfolio Management at Cinemo, said, “With the expanded CARS Connect Suite, Cinemo continues to push the boundaries of the AAOS experience, enabling exciting new use cases and integrating BYOD in the vehicle. We invite all car brands to explore these new products, designed to instantly elevate the in-car experience and excite their customers.”
The CARS Connect Suite is part of Cinemo’s broader mission to provide a fully integrated, connected in-car ecosystem that merges both built-in hardware and external devices, creating a cohesive and dynamic in-car experience for passengers and automakers alike.
