Digital media specialist Cinemo has been selected by mobility technology supplier Marelli to provide infotainment software solutions for its LeanConnect platform. The partnership follows Marelli’s recent contract to supply its Android Automotive OS-based LeanConnect platform to a major international auto maker.
The LeanConnect platform combines cluster, integrated vehicle infotainment (IVI) and 4G telematics functionality into a single control unit to simplify electronics architecture. The platform, Marelli says, can maintain ASIL-B compliant cluster functionality and can manage two cameras and two displays.
Cinemo’s smartphone projection solutions will enhance the LeanConnect platform by enabling Android- and iOS-based smartphone integration. The technology is designed so that car occupants have access to supported apps directly from the head unit.
“Our partnership with Cinemo has helped us enrich our AAOS-based LeanConnect infotainment platform and deliver a first-rate, quality solution for a major worldwide car manufacturer,” said Yannick Hoyau, VP of engineering and advanced innovation at Marelli’s Electronic Systems business. “Cinemo’s excellent automotive entertainment track record and easy-to-integrate software gives us peace of mind that we can deliver a cost-efficient solution and boost our time-to-market.”
“We are honored to partner with Marelli and see our software integrated into the company’s LeanConnect platform destined for a leading global carmaker,” added Elif Ede, VP of strategy at Cinemo. “We look forward to seeing the first cars launch in 2026.”
