Executive summary
- Audio is still the most favoured infotainment option for drivers and passengers alike and is going through an evolution with the addition of streaming.
- The first generation of connected cars have yet to fully integrate radio, streaming and BYOD services, leading to lower consumer satisfaction.
- The IVI will increasingly act as a primary interface for audio service aggregation and integration including control plane functions such as voice recognition.
- Value-added features – such as audio search and caching to overcome connection outages – are a considerable consumer benefit and enabled through IVI integration.
- A software and cloud-based approach increases flexibility for consumers and allows OEMs to make service and feature updates without requiring a dealer visit.
