Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)

Turning the car into a digital hub

Imagine your child playing interactive video games on the way to vacation, using their own console seamlessly displayed on vehicle screens. Or enjoy spontaneous karaoke sessions with your own microphone, right inside the car. Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) will make all this possible.

 

The vision: BYOD makes the driving experience more personal and entertaining, powered by open standards and a collaborative ecosystem.

 

digital.auto and its strong partner ecosystem are actively shaping this connected future – committed to creating open interfaces in vehicles.
