I think this is genius; people are going to like not having a big owners manual stuffed in their dashboard. The Dodge app will allow drivers to have an instant connection to Customer Care and 24-hour roadside assistance. Dodge can also "push-publish" updates to the digital owner's manuals, so that the owner is always kept up to date and informed. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Digital Owner's Manuals:** Digital owner's manuals apps are a new innovation that offers customers a convenient way to access the product manual and stay informed about updates. - **Smartphone Apps for Enhanced Vehicle Experience:** Smartphone apps which allow for quick service and support requests as well as instant access to the latest vehicle updates are becoming increasingly popular. - **Mobile Customer Service:** Interactive digital manuals and mobile apps offer an opportunity for companies to provide personalized service at their customers' fingertips. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can take advantage of digital owner's manual apps to enhance customer engagement and provide a more connected driving experience. - **Technology:** Technology companies can work on creating more advanced digital owner's manual apps equipped with augmented reality instructional guides, voice-controlled features and more. - **Customer Service:** The customer service industry can use digital owner's manual apps to enhance the customer experience by providing support and resolving issues in a more timely manner. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Consolidated Automotive Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/consolidated-automotive-apps.md) - [All-Inclusive Automotive Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automotive-apps.md) - [Charger-Locating EV Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citroen-1.md) - [Customized Vehicle Builds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dude-ram.md) - [AR Driving Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/augmented-reality-driving-game.md) - [Highly-Customizable Sedans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hellcat.md) - [Brand-Specific Trail-Finding Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bronco-trail-app.md) - [Streamlined Vehicle Subscription Tiers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vehicle-service.md) - [Computer Vision Car Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audi-reader.md)
