Comprehensive Electric Vehicle Guide: (Almost) All You Require on In-Car Entertainment Systems
In a significant leap forward for connected driving, Polestar vehicles now offer seamless integration with Google Home. This integration allows drivers to check their battery charge status, activate climate functions, and control smart home devices, all from the comfort of their car.
The Google Play store for in-car apps is continually being updated, offering a growing selection of productivity-boosting apps. Soon, drivers will be able to make Zoom calls directly from their vehicles, making remote work even more convenient.
The center display of the Polestar 3 offers a seamless integration with Google Play applications, serving as a central command center for car functions. The Polestar 4, on the other hand, boasts a 10.2" display in the center of the dashboard, providing a wide range of digital entertainment options.
Google Assistant, available with constant internet connectivity, can read emails aloud, reply to text messages, and remind drivers of important calendar entries. This feature ensures that drivers stay connected and informed, even on the go.
The Polestar 3's driver display offers preconfigured modes that provide necessary information, such as speed, battery status, navigation, and driver assistance information. The Polestar 4's display, on the other hand, features a 15.4-inch, frameless centre display with 1920 x 1200 px resolution and landscape orientation, designed to make using apps and car functions more intuitive.
Setting up Google Home in a Polestar vehicle allows drivers to control various vehicle functions using a smart speaker and vice versa. This integration not only enhances the driving experience but also makes life easier for drivers by integrating their car with their smart home.
The first three years of in-car data are included in the price of a Polestar, ensuring constant internet connectivity. This means that drivers can enjoy all the benefits of Google integration without any additional costs.
Electric vehicle charging breaks, while required less frequently than expected, can still be used for leisure activities such as watching TV shows, listening to music, or playing games. This makes charging breaks more enjoyable and less of a hassle.
The Polestar 3 supports Apple CarPlay with a wireless connection, ensuring a seamless transition for iPhone users. The Polestar 3 and 4's infotainment systems can remember settings and preferences for up to six drivers, making it easy for multiple users to switch between profiles.
Tidal, Sybel, Audible, and Pocket Casts are examples of apps available for music, podcasts, and audiobooks in Polestar vehicles. The Google Automotive Keyboard app can also be downloaded for a Polestar touchscreen, transforming it into a computer keyboard for work and home-life tasks while recharging.
While the name of the first person to use Google Home integration in Polestar vehicles is not publicly disclosed, it is clear that this integration is set to revolutionise the driving experience for Polestar owners. With its sleek design, intuitive interface, and seamless integration with Google services, Polestar is truly at the forefront of connected driving.
