Car Connectivity Consortium

A connected car is one that has its own connection to the internet, usually via a wireless local area network (WLAN) that allows the car to share internet access and data with other devices inside and outside the car.

CCC is short for China Compulsory Certification scheme which requires manufacturers of automotive components to obtain approval for their parts before incorporating them into vehicles being sold into China. Similarly Vehicle manufactures must have entire vehicles CCC certified before sending them to China for sale.

You can lock, unlock, and start your car from your Android phone with digital car key. Important: Digital car key is only available for select vehicles in select markets and works with Pixel 6+, Samsung Galaxy S21+ and select Android devices that run Android 12+.

CCC Digital Key is a standardized ecosystem that enables mobile devices to store, authenticate, and share Digital Keys for vehicles in a secure, privacy-preserving way that works everywhere, even when the smartphone's battery is low.
