Xiaomi is on track to launch its first electric car in 2024. The car, which is codenamed MS11, has recently passed Bluetooth Technology Alliance SIG certification, revealing more information about its configuration.

The car made it to the certification body with several different models of Xiaomi Car with IC4034-BD, IC4004-BD, IC4024-BD, IC4054-BD, IC4005-BD, and IC4015-BD. 

The listing confirms the presence of Bluetooth 5.2 and USB Media functionalities. And interestingly, the car will also support Apple CarPlay, which will allow users to connect their iPhones to the car’s infotainment screen.
