Users will be able to access services such as YouTube, Spotify and karaoke directly through the vehicle\u2019s system, subject to service availability.<\/p>\n<p>The availability of specific features will depend on the vehicle model, software configuration, services available in Nepal and network coverage. User experience may also vary depending on location and vehicle configuration.<\/p>\n<p>Ncell Chief Consumer Business Officer Upanga Dutta said the IoT partnership would enable smart connectivity, infotainment, safety and intelligent mobility features in BYD vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>According to Dutta, direct in-vehicle connectivity for the BYD app and other online services will reduce users\u2019 dependence on external hotspots or mobile data from their phones. He said direct access to a local network would also make connected services, including navigation, more convenient and reliable.<\/p>\n<p>The partnership will benefit not only new BYD customers but also those who already own BYD vehicles in Nepal. Existing customers will be able to visit any of BYD\u2019s 13 authorised service centres across the country to have an Ncell IoT SIM installed in their vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>Cimex Inc. Chief Executive Officer Sahil Shrestha said the collaboration with Ncell represents another step toward enhancing the customer experience through advanced technology.<\/p>\n<p>He said reliable in-vehicle connectivity would allow BYD users to make fuller use of the intelligent features integrated into their vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>Connectivity plans, validity periods and service charges will vary depending on the vehicle model and the relevant service package.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/eng.dragonmedia.com.np\/?p=23111\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"time\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dragon Media Correspondent Ncell has partnered with Cimex Inc., the authorised distributor of BYD Auto Industry Company Limited in Nepal, to provide connected vehicle services in BYD vehicles through Internet of Things, or IoT, SIM technology.
