Focus Points
Today’s Agenda
• Gain top level technology and market trends impacting the infotainment market
• Provide a comparative overview of what different OEMs are doing with respect to
apps, HMI and connectivity in terms of offerings and business models
• Understand more in depth OEM and specially supplier activities in the areas of apps

and HMI
• Analyze what consumers are willing to pay for in terms of apps and HMI
• Conclusions and Strategic Recommendations
Objectives of the Research
Understand Importance of HMI in the entire Value Proposition
Under App Business Models of OEMs and Tap into Revenue Models
Analyse infotainment package offerings of OEMs and delve into where apps fit here
Understand how OEMs are building multimodal HMI as revenue models to back apps
4
Understand the Demand Side of the Equation
Understand EU and US Consumer willingness to pay for apps, HMI and infotainment packages
Understand if tethered, embedded or a hybrid solution will win over other
Understand Importance of HMI in the entire Value Proposition
Understand driver distraction issues and supplier responses
Understand where each OEMs are headed to in terms of HMI mix – to ensure safety
App Stores
Several OEMs have joined this bandwagon
such as BMW (Connected App), Mercedes Benz
(App Shop), Renault R-Link with dedicated app
store

Major Market TrendsOEM business models for apps are built all around HMI value proposition

Emergence of New
Suppliers and
EcoSystem Partners
E.g. TomTom has risen to top tier player in the
European market also entering infotainment with
the R-Link on Renault Zoe
Creating HMI Interfaces for Safe Operation of Apps

OEM Approaches to Apps and Connected ServicesPremium OEMs are using this opportunity to interface apps at 2 levels – browser based or smartphone based and tethered into the car

Revenue opportunity is through head units and HMI (Using
Consumer Pull)
(e.g. Pandora) and allowing them to be operated using
Vehicle HMI (e.g. iDrive)
Apps are not revenue opportunity, its just a crowd puller and HMI is
actual revenue
application stores (e.g. Apple App Store)
Most of these apps follow fremium model and are most touch points to
reach out to existing and new customers
• Awarded contract to Bouygues Telecom to develop app store to be launched in 208 model later 2012 – ten different apps powered by USB key (25/35). Some apps- MyPeugeot, Michelin Traffic. Available at annual subscription of 350 Euros
Peugeot Connect Apps
• Harman’s Aha radio platform is rapidly emerging as entertainment hub – assuring safety by voice operation wit h customers including – Subaru, Pioneer, Kenwood and 6 other premium OEMs. EU launch soon with Inrix traffic
Harman Aha Radio Platform
• Integrating dedicated app store called Mercedes Benz App Shop with first apps being park finder and morning star news for stocks and financial information. Available with the ComandOnline system and to be launched by March end 2012
Mercedes Benz App Shop
Recent Announcements and InnovationsHarman’s Aha Radio Platform has had tremendous traction in the last 6 months

• Showcased at CES 2012 a concept developed by Kia engineers over 4 months spending almost $500,000 a concept on IVI and user centred driving - with widgets, augmented reality navigation and dedicated app store
Kia Infotainment Concept
• Entune for US and Touch and GO for Europe developed by Harman. In Europe Touch & Go has MirrorLink access. Harman recently announced app interface for Touch & Go where users can access apps through dedicated Toyota portal
Toyota Entune & Touch & Go
• Fully integrated multimedia system with voice and steering mounted controls on a touch screen (unit supplied by TomTom) with dedicated apps powered by different players-e.g. Coyote Speed camera zone warning app

Is Tethered Connectivity a Sustainable Model?Long term with more apps inside the car will become a challenge but family data plans can change the landscape

Consumes 30MB/ hour to playOn average one day 30MB/hour leads to 1GB per month for Pandora alone
Excess Data
- Only a very limited part of the smartphone subscribers are in unlimited data plans in US and EU
- More apps especially more radio and streaming type apps consumes more data
- Pandora, Slacker, iHeartRadio, Stitcher all are streaming music or podcasts apps (each consumer MB/day for just an hour)- High probability that in the future the data usage will exceed capped plans- MNO will also keep a keen eye on tethering bandwidth consumption
With more apps – managing data plan/price is a challenge “As higher the app
integration with car, higher will be average
data plan usage”

to head unit as it is automotive environment
• Phone with a web server is connected to head unit with
HTML5 engine.
• Allows two way interaction, if the head unit also has a
web server, allows hosting web pages on the phone.
• Allows OEMs to create a separate module where
graphics for individual functionality can be made and
addition of more features.

LBS Categories – e.g. Taxi Booking
e.g. 1TouchTaxi, TaxiZapp
Crowdsourced Navigation and Traffic Application
e.g. Waze, Inrix, Beat the Traffic
Augmented Reality Applicationse.g. Mobilizy
No clear importance for MirrorLink type interface for
smartphone app access inside car (focus on voice
control)
Short to medium term focus is on music and social networking related app
control through vehicle HMI (Multimodal Mix). Largely US
driven trend
Conclusions and Strategic RecommendationsNorth American market is an ideal launch pad for mobile apps. Bundling apps with cool hardware is critical for OEMs to create a revenue stream.
Q&A!!!!!!!!!!!
20
Tethered connectivity for smartphone apps is a weak model and at the same time users willingness to pay for
dedicated data plan is unclear
Several OEMs have launched branded applications in line with
their connected services package – e.g. Mbrace, BlueLink. This is a
good free convenience add on (GM app downloaded over 400,000
times)
OEM strategies to allow apps access inside the
vehicle ties in with package options which make sure
revenue add-on are healthy (e.g. Ford SYNC applink)
