One of the beauties of the modern automobile is the ability to effectively stream anything you want at any time while driving down the road. More car manufacturers have opted to forgo built-in apps for services like SiriusXM, including VinFast. While this may seem shortsighted, it’s actually better for customers for a few reasons.
Streaming Is the New Way to Live
The world revolves around streaming, whether movies, TV shows, music, or podcasts; everything is streamed from a phone, tablet, computer, or television. One of the inherent downsides of streaming everything is that the 15.6-inch infotainment screen in your VinFast would be clogged up with a dozen apps. Trying to find the right app on the screen while you’re driving is unsafe. Because everyone has a smartphone with large data plans, it’s easier to let users stream the content they want via Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, or Bluetooth.
SiriusXM Has Everything You’ll Want to Hear
Apps like SiriusXM require monthly subscriptions, featuring a whole host of popular podcasts like Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend, Smartless, Call Her Daddy, and more. This, in addition to regular satellite radio channels like The Howard Stern Show, Radio Andy, Mad Dog Russo, and the like, plus all of the uninterrupted music channels and live sports shows. Because the SiriusXM app is so much easier to use, you can download various episodes or have different shows in your favorites list to quickly pull up and have ready for your upcoming drive.
Your Favorite Podcasts Can Easily Be Streamed
Of course, podcasts are the new big thing in “radio”. While SiriusXM has made a big deal of purchasing podcasts to air, you can still get all of your favorites on Apple Podcasts, YouTube Music (the new home of Google Podcasts), Spotify, and any others you may like. Again, it’s easy and ideal to download the shows you want, ready to listen to for any of your drives.
The Ability to Quickly Access Your Favorite Shows
When using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, you can use the specific SiriusXM or preferred podcast app to quickly and easily access your favorite shows or those you downloaded.
Download For Easier Listening on the Go
We keep mentioning downloading your favorite shows and podcasts because then you won’t have to worry about any data interruptions while you’re driving down the road. So, for any reason, if your phone loses cell service, you won’t have any issues listening to your show(s).
Numerous Phones Can Be Connected at The Same Time
Do remember, you can have multiple phones attached to the car’s Bluetooth so you can quickly jump between phones to allow other passengers to have the “aux cord”, so to speak. This will help everyone have a turn listening to something they like, and it may broaden your horizons.
Sony RIDEVU
Remember, the VinFast VF8 and VF9 also come standard with Sony RIDEVU, the revolutionary feature that allows you and your passengers to watch 2,000 different Sony Entertainment Pictures movies and shows on the vehicle’s infotainment screen when you are parked or with any device attached to the in-car WiFi system. No other automaker offers more ways to pass the time on a road trip.
