Ottocast Introduces New-Gen Android Car Box NanoAI, Anchors New Era of Vehicle Intelligence

Published

on

By

HONG KONG, May 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Ottocast, a leading provider of aftermarket connectivity solutions for cars and smartphones, has proudly announced the launch of the new-generation Android car box NanoAI, integrating AI emotive display, voice assistant, CloudSIM and the Android 13 system to provide users with brand-new AI-enabled in-vehicle experience through upgraded intelligent solutions.

NanoAI is equipped with the elite-performance Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 chip, and the basic edition has a memory configuration of 8GB and 128GB. With the Android 13 system and CloudSIM, it can connect to the internet without Wi-Fi, hotspot or a physical SIM card. It also supports seamless switching of CarPlay, Android Auto and OttoDrive 2.5, providing more personalization options and full application access.

The interactive 1.83-inch AI screen responds to voice commands to ensure safer driving, and the AI-powered Co-Pilot makes conversations smoother and smarter. The enhanced control unlocks more apps and features beyond standard CarPlay or Android Auto, and users can customize the system for a tailored experience and stream videos, browse the web, or use non-native apps directly on the display.

“Nano is our answer to the future of smart cockpits. It represents not only a product upgrade, but also Ottocast’s new vision and thinking on the integration of user experience and AI,” said Hery Zeng, deputy director of Ottocast product development center.

NanoAI’s wireless connection simplifies smartphone interaction with the vehicle, while its plug-and-play installation ensures a clean setup without messy cables. Additionally, it enhances safety with GPS tracking and security features.

“The AI emotive display and voice control completely changes the way users communicate with the vehicles, in that it’s no longer an ice-cold piece of equipment, but more like a partner sitting at the co-pilot,” said Sophia Chang, CEO of Ottocast.

As Ottocast’s most forward-looking product, NanoAI not only is a major leap for Ottocast’s AI-enabled in-vehicle experience, but also represents the company’s entry into the smart AI cockpit sector and a turning point to shift the product strategy from “car adapter” to “intelligent car computing terminal,” lowering the threshold for smart cockpit upgrades and promoting the transition of the aftermarket to high value-added products.

Looking ahead, Ottocast will continue to expand its product line with commitment to further redefining the future of in-vehicle lifestyle through continuous innovation, turning the automobile into a true “third space.”

The platform overhaul introduces enterprise-level security, dynamic interface controls, and intelligent trading features, solidifying AstraX’s commitment to delivering a professional-grade experience on mobile devices.

At the core of the Smart Mobile Suite is a security-first architecture that now includes biometric login options such as fingerprint and facial recognition. These features are supported by encrypted session management and fraud detection protocols, ensuring that account access and transaction execution remain secure even in high-risk environments.

To address the demands of modern crypto investors, the new mobile suite includes a fully customizable dashboard where users can monitor preferred trading pairs, set personalized alerts for price fluctuations, and analyze historical charts with technical indicators. The mobile application also supports instant buy/sell orders, asset transfer between wallets, and one-click access to market news—all from a compact and intuitive interface.

AstraX Exchange’s upgraded mobile infrastructure was built to perform under pressure, with improved load speeds, low-latency data feeds, and optimized navigation for high-frequency decision-making.

“The Smart Mobile Suite was developed for users who demand the same level of power and precision from their mobile experience as they do from desktop platforms,” said a product development lead at AstraX Exchange. “It represents not only a technical evolution but a strategic investment in user mobility, autonomy, and global accessibility.”

In addition to its technical enhancements, the suite introduces a new multilingual mode that aligns with AstraX’s localization strategy. Traders can now interact with the platform in more than ten languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin, Korean, and Arabic—helping broaden its appeal across diverse regions.

The mobile suite also features seamless integration with AstraX’s security protocols, including Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), withdrawal whitelist settings, and smart monitoring of trading behaviors for anomaly detection. This holistic approach strengthens user confidence while preserving ease of use.

Educational tools are embedded directly into the mobile app, including interactive walkthroughs, a knowledge hub, and video tutorials tailored to user levels. These resources are aimed at helping newer users build confidence while also offering professional insights for advanced traders.

The release of the Smart Mobile Suite comes as part of a larger product roadmap aimed at scaling AstraX’s infrastructure globally.
