Li Auto L9 firmware specifics

L9 runs **Li OS** — Li Auto's custom OS based on Android Automotive OS with deep customization. Features:

**Li Xiang Tong Xue voice assistant** — «Ideal Classmate» in English. Specifically trained on dialog with children (Li Auto = family brand). After our localization, replies in English, supports children's voice commands.

**Li Highway Assist autopilot** — L2 level (not L2+ like Huawei ADS 2.0, but still reliable). Features: adaptive cruise, LKA, auto lane change. Works on highways.

**Deep integration with Chinese services** — Amap (maps), Baidu Music, WeChat, Meituan. We replace with global equivalents during localization.

What we do during Li Auto L9 localization

1. Full Li OS translation

We translate all menus, apps, settings. Special attention — Camp Mode (terminology critical for UX), second/third row control menus (lots of adjustment options), AR-HUD settings.

2. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto install

Stock Li OS doesn't support CarPlay (Li Auto uses its own analog — Li Cast). We install wireless CarPlay via Li OS modification. Android Auto works natively via Android Automotive.

3. Amap replacement with Google Maps + Waze

Amap is China's Google Maps equivalent. Doesn't work outside China. Replace with Google Maps + Waze with AR-HUD integration.

4. Li Xiang Tong Xue voice assistant localization

«Ideal Classmate» gets an English voice and speech understanding. Specifically tuned to recognize children's speech (Li Auto = family brand, kids often use voice commands).

5. EREV menu configuration

L9 is an EREV hybrid. We localize the hybrid control menus: «Pure Electric», «Hybrid», «Fuel Save», «Sport» modes. Also reprogram the fuel gauge to display correct regional units (91/95 RON gasoline).

6. Camp Mode optimization

We optimize Camp Mode for longer operation in extreme climates. Cabin temperature maintained via more efficient algorithm — increases from 8 to 12+ hours without battery drain.

7. CCS2 install and international charging setup

Standard L9 charging is GB/T only. For Europe and UAE, CCS2 is required. Configure protocol at BMS level. Also setup for Ionity, Fastned, and other European fast-charging networks.
