Connected Automotive
Validating the wireless, audio, and interop systems that define the modern connected vehicle — from infotainment and digital car keys to in-cabin connectivity and smartphone integration.

Modern vehicles are defined as much by what's in their cabin as by what's under the hood. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth pairing for passengers and devices, infotainment that integrates with phones, digital car keys replacing physical fobs, premium audio engineered for the room you're driving — every connected vehicle is now a complex test target spanning wireless protocols, audio engineering, and software interoperability.
Novus Labs brings deep wireless, audio, and interoperability expertise to OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers shipping the next generation of vehicle electronics. Our facilities, methodologies, and engineering team are purpose-built to find the integration issues that slip through siloed component testing — the kind that surface when real customer devices meet real vehicles in the wild.
- Wireless connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Classic & LE, cellular TCUs
- Smartphone interoperability across iOS and Android generations
- Infotainment functional and performance validation
- In-cabin audio system tuning and hands-free call quality
- Digital car key validation (UWB, BLE, NFC) and phone-as-key interop
Where We Deliver

- CarPlay & Android Auto certification testing
- Cellular TCU validation (4G / 5G)
- Smartphone interop across iOS & Android generations
- Infotainment functional & performance testing
- In-cabin acoustic measurement & tuning
- Premium audio system characterization
- Hands-free call quality (HFP) testing
- Voice assistant pickup & intent recognition
- CCC Digital Key standard validation
- UWB, BLE, and NFC entry systems
- Phone-as-key cross-device interop
- Passive entry & proximity behavior
- Failure-mode and out-of-range scenarios
Tested Against What Drivers Actually Carry
Connected vehicle interop isn't just last year's flagship phone. Your customers bring generations of devices into their cars — phones, smartwatches, fitness trackers, hearables, key fobs, smart cards. Your infotainment, hotspot, and digital-key systems have to play nicely with all of them.
The Novus Interop Device Library houses thousands of phones, accessories, APs, and connected gear spanning generations of consumer electronics. We test how your system behaves with what's in your customers' hands today — not just the spec-sheet ideal.
Explore the LibrarySoftware for the Autonomous Stack
Novus Labs has delivered software development for major players in the autonomous driving sector — embedded systems, ADAS feature work, sensor-integration code, and the test infrastructure that proves the software is safe to ship.
The same engineering team that validates infotainment, wireless, and digital-key behavior also writes production software for the vehicle platforms behind them. End-to-end coverage means the people debugging your interop issue understand the codebase that caused it.
