BYD and OPPO have recently joined forces to introduce a new “Phone-Car Connectivity” system, enabling OPPO’s Find X8 smartphones to interact seamlessly with the DENZA Z9 GT, BYD’s latest smart vehicle. This collaboration focuses on integrating smartphone capabilities with in-car systems, allowing users to control vehicle functions such as navigation, media, and even car status through their phones. By enhancing this connectivity, the partnership aims to make the transition between smartphone and vehicle environments smoother and more efficient for drivers, promoting a hands-free, distraction-free experience.
A standout feature in this integration is the Fusion Desktop 3.0, which mirrors the OPPO smartphone’s display onto the car’s infotainment screen. This allows drivers to access and operate all their apps directly from the car’s screen, without needing to learn a new interface. From navigation to productivity and entertainment, the mirrored display provides a familiar setup, making it easy and safer for users to interact with their apps while on the road.
In addition, the partnership includes the launch of advanced digital car keys, which give users the ability to unlock, start, and monitor their car with their OPPO phone. This feature goes beyond basic access, offering real-time updates on the vehicle’s status, such as battery levels and maintenance alerts, all accessible remotely. With built-in security, only authorized users can utilize these functions, adding a layer of convenience and safety by reducing reliance on physical keys.
Looking ahead, BYD and OPPO are also developing AI-powered in-car features. These include a predictive cockpit environment that can adjust settings like lighting, climate control, and seating preferences based on user habits, creating a more tailored experience. This aligns with broader trends in smart and autonomous vehicles, where AI-driven personalization enhances comfort and convenience. Both companies plan to expand this technology to more BYD models and OPPO devices, underscoring the merging of tech and automotive industries in shaping the future of connectivity and AI in smart vehicles.
