Smart Device Integration Automotive

Integration of smart devices in connected cars and vehicle architectures

The increasing connectivity of vehicles with consumer electronic devices (CE devices) is placing new demands on user-friendliness, safety and connectivity. Smart device integration in automotive is a key area of innovation – especially for the seamless connection of Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and other mobile applications with modern vehicle architectures. With a large team of experts, we support renowned car manufacturers in implementing innovative solutions in the areas of smart device integration (SDI) and projected modes (Android Auto, Apple CarPlay).

Our expertise in smart device integration

Integration of CE devices into vehicle IT

Connecting consumer electronics with automotive infrastructure requires a deep understanding of software and hardware integration, agile development processes and rigorous testing procedures.

Our services:

  • Testing and validation

    of ‘projected modes’ and manufacturer-specific smart device technologies for the seamless connection of mobile devices to vehicles.

  • Test management

    in leading tools such as Jira and Octane – from the creation of new test cases to quality assurance.

  • Automation of test cases

    to maximise efficiency and reproducibility in the validation of smart technologies.

  • Creation and updating of test plans

    with precise scheduling and quality target definition.

  • Conducting test and analysis drives

    with prototypes and production vehicles.

  • Development partnerships

    with leading OEMs, CE manufacturers and software developers such as Apple, Google, Huawei and Samsung.

  • Global logistics and support

    for development platforms for CE device integrations.

  • SCRUM-based agile development

    for responsive market adaptations and continuous improvements.

Market development and future prospects

Studies show that the global market penetration of smart device integration will grow by over 15% per year until 2030 (source: McKinsey, 2023). The shift towards software-defined vehicles makes the seamless integration of consumer electronics a key competitive advantage for OEMs and technology providers. Future trends such as V2X communication, AI-assisted driver assistance and cloud-based over-the-air updates require highly specialised engineering solutions – a core competence of Allgeier Engineering.
