iQIYI is an innovative market-leading online entertainment service in China that has collaborated with Cinemo to enhance in-car entertainment on Faurecia Xiamen IVI platforms, powering FAW Hongqi's flagship sedans. In this unique cooperation, iQIYI brings premium video, technical capabilities, and customized adaptations based on Cinemo's technical solutions to deliver users an amazing in-car audio-visual experience.

iQIYI is the featured online video platform of FAW Hongqi and will provide high-quality in-car online video services for the premium car model H9 of FAW Hongqi going forward. Passengers will enjoy the luxury of watching premium video content that demonstrates how iQIYI, Cinemo, and Faurecia Xiamen are changing the face of cockpit entertainment with seamless access to on-demand videos.
