Soda Music's Car Version Launches with Audio Vivid — Understands What You Want to Hear, Unlocking a New Immersive Cabin Experience
Recently, the Soda Music car-infotainment version officially launched, now fully supporting Audio Vivid spatial audio technology. Several mainstream vehicle models — including HarmonyOS Smart Driving models and Xiaomi — have already completed OTA compatibility updates, allowing drivers to download the Soda Music car version from the app marketplace and immediately experience the exceptional sound quality delivered by Audio Vivid. Soda Music has also launched an "Audio Vivid" playlist, covering pop, easy listening, and other genres to suit different drivers' listening preferences. The car-infotainment version will continue rolling out to more vehicle models, including Li Auto, in the future.
As China's first music platform built around single-track recommendations as its core experience, Soda Music is dedicated to creating a "listen anytime, understands what you want to hear" streaming experience. Powered by Douyin's recommendation algorithm and tailored to user habits, the platform delivers precise music suggestions, making the car version even more focused on "driving, listening to what you want to hear." This newly launched car version supports Audio Vivid technology, giving vocals, instruments, and ambient sound each their own distinct space with rich, detailed clarity — turning every drive into an immersive listening journey.
To fully adapt to the acoustic environment of a vehicle cabin, Soda Music partnered technically with the World Ultra HD Video Industry Alliance (UWA), connecting the entire Audio Vivid pipeline from content encoding to in-car decoding and playback. UWA provided the technical standards, terminal compatibility specifications, and technical support.
From now through September 30, 2026, drivers and passengers are invited to step into the cabin and experience it firsthand — capturing photos or videos featuring the Soda Music car version's Audio Vivid spatial sound experience (steps: open the Soda Music car version, select "Immersive Panoramic Sound – Audio Vivid" under audio settings, and play a track), then posting them to the comment sections of related content on the official UWA and Vivid accounts (including UWA's Weibo, Douyin, and Vivid's Weibo and Xiaohongshu). Participants will have a chance to win a Soda Music SVIP monthly membership, while experiencing the immersive in-cabin audiovisual enjoyment brought by 3D Audio Vivid.
This collaboration between Soda Music and UWA marks an important breakthrough in the coordinated innovation between content platforms and ultra-HD audio standards, as well as a key milestone in scaling Audio Vivid technology's adoption in vehicles. From content supply and technical adaptation to terminal deployment, both sides are working together to bring drivers and passengers a more immersive, warmer in-car music experience. Going forward, UWA will continue its close collaboration with Soda Music, working alongside in-vehicle industry partners to advance the upgrade of immersive cabin audiovisual experiences.
