Customer Insights

Once a vehicle is purchased, OEMs struggle to maintain system profitability. Cost pressures for development and the need for commoditization of features make it difficult to offer budget conscious consumers everything they want in a vehicle at the time of purchase. Market research has shown that features that can be added on-demand or activated later appeal to consumers throughout the lifespan of the vehicle.

Customer Pain Points

  • Budget constraints at time of purchase hinder the ability to get all desired features
  • Upgradeability whenever, regardless of age/purchase date of vehicle
  • Need for a high level of customization, configuration, and personalization of the user experience
  • Desire to use sound systems in vehicles in more flexible ways​​

Elevating the Consumer Experience

​Consumers can add, upgrade and personalize their car and the audio system when, and where they want to. OEMs can offer consumers a comprehensive range of experience packages now, as well as updated feature packages later, to keep consumers on the cutting edge of available technology.

Intuitive and Easy to Use
