What entertainment options come with my VinFast?
Every VinFast helps you keep your mind occupied for long stretches of drive time! Register for the VF Connect Package to enjoy a long list of complimentary streaming and browsing options. With wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, it’s easy to access your music, maps, messages, and news updates with barely a glance away from traffic. Your purchase also includes a 12-month trial of RIDEVU, Sony’s new in-car app, and its library of more than 2,000 movies (more on this below). VF Connect also gives you access to the Internet, so you can browse the web while you wait at the DC Fast Charge station.
But entertainment comes in many forms, and VinFast knows there’s more to life than Web content. That’s why the built-in navigation system includes points of interest (including nearby parking and charging stations), helping you get to Florida’s beaches, theme parks, and roadside attractions in style. You can even use the VinFast app to share your route and let loved ones know you’re on your way!
Your VinFast also comes ready for adventure! In Camp Mode, your EV will maintain a comfy cabin temperature and lighting. This feature really comes in handy during steamy summer camping excursions. It’s also great during day trips, when you want to beat the heat for a few minutes! When you’re traveling with your furry friends, Pet Mode maintains a safe interior temperature if you need to step away for a few minutes.

What is Sony’s in-car entertainment service, RIDEVU?
Your VinFast EV comes with a 12-month trial of Sony’s brand new in-car streaming app, RIDEVU. It provides access to Sony’s movie library, with more than 2,000 titles available. Better yet, the app is continuously updated to give you and your loved ones new watch options!
During your 12-month trial, you and your loved ones can enjoy unlimited replays of up to 100 movies. The library includes free and pay-to-play options. VinFast gives you 5 credits per year, which you can put toward paid movies.
For safety reasons, you can only stream movies on your EV’s central touchscreen while the vehicle is stationary. But you’ll always have something to do while you wait at the charge station! While the vehicle is cruising, you can stream movies on up to six devices. For example, your loved ones in the back seats can watch whatever they want on their compatible phones and tablets. You can even access the app at home, because RIDEVU is also compatible with Android TV, Apple TV, and more!
From the driver’s seat, you have easy access to RIDEVU’s parental controls via the central touchscreen. In fact, you can control playback on all connected devices! Once you reach your destination, you can shut down playback in one fell swoop. But you may not need to, since RIDEVU offers content recommendations based on how long you’re going to be on the road!
