Mobile and network software technologies provider ACCESS has launched what it claims is a unique solution that combines a white-labelled content streaming service with an infotainment services platform, enabling OEMs to brand and personalise each journey.

Built on the existing ACCESS Twine for Car solution launched in April 2018, the new solution is said to provide the building blocks to enable automakers to protect their brands while evolving vehicles into fully personalised connected media hubs, and provide road users with an additional layer of ease and convenience.

Key new features in ACCESS Twine for Car 2.0, include a refreshed, expandable human-machine/user interface (HMI/UI) and an aggregated in-car electronic program guide (EPG) for both Android and Linux. To guarantee whart ACCESS says is the highest level of usability, Twine for Car 2.0 also supports journey related ‘car retail’ services such as fuel and parking payments.

“The automotive industry is innovating at a faster pace than ever before, with a focus on electric and autonomous cars. This provides the opportunity for automakers to deliver rich information, media and entertainment services and enhance their brand engagement with their customers,” said ACCESS Europe CEO Neale Foster. “ACCESS Twine for Car 2.0 enables the creation of unique and branded entertainment offerings enabling deployment of connected infotainment services today.”
