GAC Aion i60 OTA Update Adds Native Apple CarPlay and Customizable Charging Limit

On August 30, GAC Aion launched a new OTA update for the Aion S Plus (i60), featuring eight core upgrades and twelve experience optimizations. Key updates include: - **Rear Automatic Emergency Braking (RAEB)**: Available on the 530 Advanced and 650 Advanced trims, this function automatically detects pedestrians (including children), vehicles, bicycles, and other obstacles behind the car when reversing at speeds between 3–15 km/h, and autonomously applies the brakes to avoid potential collisions. - **New Animated Pet Wallpaper Theme**: Two free animated wallpapers are preloaded, along with seven pet avatars. Users can upload their own photos to generate personalized AI-powered animated pets that feature interactive animations. - **Native Apple CarPlay Integration**: iPhone users can now mirror their apps onto the vehicle’s infotainment system, enabling seamless synchronization of playlists, favorites, navigation destinations, and more. - **“Scene Master” Feature in Mobile App**: This new functionality allows users to create custom automation scenarios triggered by events such as entering the vehicle, unlocking the car, arriving at a specific location, scheduled times, or the start/end of charging. These triggers can execute combinations of actions like adjusting cabin temperature, activating seat heating/ventilation, playing music, changing ambient lighting, and switching infotainment modes. - **Customizable Charging Limit**: Users can now set a charging upper limit between 80% and 90% to help reduce battery cell degradation. - **Historical Charging Records in Mobile App**: Charging history is now accessible via the mobile app, with all data securely stored in the cloud. - **Dual-Range Display Logic Optimized for Range-Extended Models**: The instrument cluster now clearly displays separate ranges for pure electric and fuel-powered driving modes. - **Simplified Regenerative Braking Controls**: The user interface for energy recuperation has been streamlined with clearer labeling and offers three adjustable levels: Standard, Strong, and Smart.
