Experience base covers a wide range of industry sectors, forming long standing relationships with

senior executives in the

• Automotive Telematics and Infotainment

• Automotive Advanced Driver Assistance Systems

• IT and Telecoms

• Electric Vehicles

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

3

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

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

Bringing popular third party applications inside the car (e.g. Pandora) and allowing

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

6

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

8

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”

• 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.

• How often do consumers use their smartphone inside the car?

• Do consumers dock their smartphone inside the car on a regular basis?

• Are consumers interested in free smartphone navigation, nominal paid smartphone navigation over other ones

such as PND and OEM? Satisfaction levels if already have a smartphone navigation solution?

• Do they consider the smartphone to be a long term information and connectivity source inside car?

• What is consumer interest in accessing apps inside car in areas such as parking, augmented reality,

crowdsourced navigation, ADAS, car sharing etc? Satisfaction levels if already access any of these apps?

• Are consumers willing to pay for these apps – even a nominal $2-5 as an one time fee?

• What are the future app areas that consumers are interested to see - vehicle to grid, smart charging, integrated

parking and EV charging, etc?

• When it comes to infotainment, connectivity and smartphone interfacing what are the HMI input output options

that comes to mind to consumers? Satisfaction levels with existing solutions (verbatim and with solutions)

• What is the consumer interest to pay for different input HMI options, current and future?

• What is the customer satisfaction with existing OEM nav, connected nav, connected PND or other navigation

solutions?

• What brands consumers perceive to have best in class app ready connected solutions?

• What brands do consumers perceive to be best in terms of having the best HMI input output options?

• What brands do consumers perceive to be best in terms of offering telematics services?

• How has app usage, needs and willingness to pay changed from 2010 results? • How has HMI usage, needs and willingness to pay changed from 2010 results?• How has smartphone usage levels changed from 2010 results?

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)
