- Experience Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay with Chery
Since their inception about a decade ago, both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay have revolutionised the on-board experience in many cars nowadays, offering both passengers and drivers seamless connectivity to some of their favourite apps and functions on their mobile devices.
You can experience seamless and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity on any Chery model in Malaysia.
Despite both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay having become mainstays in many vehicles, not all of them are offered in the more seamless wireless form. Fortunately, you don’t have to spend a fortune or wait for updates to experience this seamless mobile connectivity, as all Chery models on sale in Malaysia do come standard with wireless connectivity for both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
One of the biggest benefits of having wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay is that it allows you to connect your mobile phones to your car seamlessly. All you need to do is just connect your mobile phone to the Chery’s infotainment system via Bluetooth, and you’re all set. Once the car’s infotainment system has saved your device, it’ll automatically connect every time you start up your car.
Perhaps the most popular usage of these mobile connectivity functions is for navigation. Whether it's Google Maps or Waze, both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay allow drivers to use their favourite navigation app seamlessly, not to mention they’re easier and safer compared to using your mobile devices and a phone holder.
To make life behind the wheel much easier for drivers, each of these mobile connectivity functions also comes with its own personal digital assistant, with the default being Google Assistant for Android Auto and Siri for Apple CarPlay. Whether it’s via a dedicated button on the steering wheel or using their own respective voice triggers (“Hi Google” or “Ok Google” for Android Auto and “Hey Siri” for Apple CarPlay), drivers can now access almost all the functionalities just by using their voice instead of having to scroll through the menu via the car’s touch infotainment display.
For example, navigation is made much easier and more convenient with the voice assistant, as drivers only need to use their voice to key in their destination. Beyond navigation, these digital voice assistants can also be used for other functions such as sending or replying to messages, answering phone calls, and even picking up your favourite songs and albums.
On that topic, perhaps the second most popular apps used on both these platforms would be the music apps. Be it Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, or even SoundCloud, both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay let passengers enjoy their favourite music or podcasts seamlessly. Combined with the Sony premium audio system that comes standard with all Chery vehicles on sale here, making both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay a perfect companion for any kind of journey with your favourite Chery vehicle.
Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity are available as standard on all Chery models on sale here in Malaysia, ranging from the sporty Chery Omoda 5 and its all-electric twin, the all-in-one Chery Tiggo 7 Pro C-segment SUV, and the flagship Chery Tiggo 8 Pro three-row SUV. With that being said, don’t forget to head down to the nearest Chery showrooms around your area to experience this seamless mobile connectivity firsthand.
That is because Chery Auto Malaysia is now offering rewards worth up to RM15,000 for all Chery models, as well as special rewards for those who test drive any of these models. And not only that, lucky customers who purchased their Chery cars from Dec 1 to 31, 2024, will be eligible to participate in a lucky draw, with prizes worth more than RM150,000 up for grabs, including a grand prize of a brand new Chery Omoda 5 C.
