THE DASHBOARD SCORECARD
A picture of exactly how typical each feature remains in the control panel of the leading 100 very popular brand-new lorries in the U.S. is among the crucial highlights of the inaugural In-Vehicle Visuals Report.
6 essential findings existed by Quu, all of which might be included right into a deck promoting broadcast radio’s advantages to marketers:
- AM/FM radio is ubiquitous in brand-new vehicles.
- AM/FM radio no longer has a dashboard monopoly.
- An expanding variety of automobiles provide integrated streaming apps.

Of the above verdicts, the availability of HD Radio is perhaps a big eye-opener, as it was just a few years ago when getting digital multicast terminals and/or “crystal clear HD Radio” was an add-on choice for vehicle drivers that didn’t possess a deluxe automobile.
At the same time, General Motors’ lack of accept of HD Radio is a matter Xperi Corp. will likely require to remain to fix, some 20 years after HD Radio first appeared throughout the U.S.
Xperi SVP of Global Broadcast and Radio Joe D’Angelo is among four sector experts working with Quu to evaluate the results. “Despite sharing the control panel with others, broadcast radio’s undeniably loyal audience will certainly remain with them and spend even more time with their programs if provided suitably,” he claimed. “New connected auto electronic control panels are unlocking incredible possibilities for web content curation.”

He additionally agrees with the contention that it is the fault of General Motors and not that of Xperi Corp. that HD Radio is practically non-existent throughout GM’s automotive line.
Describing why the report was developed, Newberry recalls exactly how some advertising and marketing customers, customers and radio terminal managers were claiming such points as, “I can’t see this,” or asking, “Is this working?”
