TomTom Digital Cockpit Partner
TomTom Digital Cockpit's partnership with the world’s leading automotive app store takes in-car entertainment customization to the next level.
In-car infotainment is evolving. A cornerstone of digital cockpits, it's set to give drivers and passengers new ways to engage with music, videos, the car and the world around them. As new auto-focused apps and services continue to enter the market, the app stores that host them also need to reflect the same degree of specialization. Enter Faurecia Aptoide, the world’s leading automotive app store.
Based on Android Automotive (AAOS) – an operating system designed for the car – this app store is already used in over three million cars around the world. With AAOS fast becoming the go-to platform for the majority of new cars, Faurecia Aptoide’s partnership with TomTom Digital Cockpit gives automakers the flexibility to craft their own in-car entertainment experiences.
Faurecia Aptoide maximizes the already-significant customization potential of the TomTom Digital Cockpit toolkit. As a white label solution, it allows OEMs to create app stores fully customized to reflect their brands, including personalized visual layouts. Fauercia Aptoide also has a portfolio of 200+ apps, allowing carmakers to curate their own unique catalogues.
This flexibility is then reflected in the customer experience, as drivers are able to seamlessly download, select and navigate between their favorite apps.
With the number of automotive apps expected to increase tenfold over the next few years, a high-performing, highly customizable app store will be integral to the entertainment experience in the next generation of connected cars.
