Bauer Media Audio has launched a native Android Automotive version of Rayo in the UK and Portugal, bringing its audio platform directly into connected vehicle dashboards and making it easier for listeners to access Bauer Media\u2019s radio\u00a0brands wherever they are \u2013 including in the car.<\/p>\n

From today, listeners have more ways to tune in to Bauer Media\u2019s radio stations, with Rayo becoming available within the integrated entertainment systems of\u00a0BMW Group (BMW and MINI).<\/p>\n

Built using Radioplayer\u2019s white-label Android Automotive platform and supported by distribution through the Appning Apps Market Solution, the launch ensures\u00a0Rayo is available across a growing number of vehicles running Android Automotive OS, helping keep radio easily accessible as in-car technology evolves. BMW Group joins the launch as a partner OEM, with Rayo available in compatible vehicles running Android\u00a0Automotive.<\/p>\n

Unlike Android Auto, which mirrors content from a smartphone onto a vehicle display, Android Automotive is built directly into the car\u2019s operating system.\u00a0This allows apps such as Rayo to run natively within the infotainment environment and integrate more seamlessly with in-car interfaces, including voice assistants and dashboard controls.<\/p>\n

The Android Automotive version of Rayo initially focuses on delivering a streamlined live radio experience across Bauer Media\u2019s portfolio of stations. While\u00a0functionality at launch is intentionally focused on live listening, the platform creates a strong foundation for future enhancements, including expanded features and on-demand audio such as podcasts.<\/p>\n

The move forms part of Bauer Media Audio\u2019s wider strategy to ensure listeners can easily access its stations and content wherever they are \u2013 across mobile\u00a0devices, smart speakers and increasingly, connected vehicles \u2013 keeping radio simple, reliable and within reach in every environment.<\/p>\n
