Xiaomi CarIoT: Little Blue Beacon for SU7 & YU7, Full Opening 2027

Xiaomi CarIoT. # Xiaomi’s CarIoT Ecosystem Expands: Third-Party “Little Blue Beacon” Arrives for SU7 & YU7, Full Opening in 2027

Get ready, Xiaomi fans! The future of connected living is getting even more exciting. Xiaomi is doubling down on its CarIoT platform, bridging the gap between your car, your home, and your devices. At their recent 2025 All-Scenario Persona-Auto-Home Ecosystem Partner Conference, they unveiled some seriously cool advancements, including a nifty third-party accessory that’s all about smarter, safer driving.

The “Little Blue Beacon”: Enhancing Intelligent Driving Assistance

One of the most talked-about announcements is the arrival of a new accessory for the Xiaomi SU7 (that sleek, high-performance electric sedan) and the Xiaomi YU7 (a luxurious pure electric SUV). Dubbed the “little blue beacon” (小蓝灯), this third-party gadget acts as a visual cue, illuminating with a blue light when the car’s intelligent driving assistance systems (ADAS) are active.

Think of it as a helpful heads-up for the cars behind you. This isn’t just a cool gadget; it’s a significant safety enhancement. The “little blue beacon” is quickly becoming a standard in the Chinese electric vehicle market, with brands like Ideal, BYD, and Xpeng already implementing similar systems. The idea is to minimize risks, especially sudden maneuvers by vehicles using assisted driving, making roads safer for everyone.

This specific “little blue beacon” accessory is the brainchild of Wang Yunliu from Fukuan Bean Bean Tour Software Development Co., Ltd. Early reports and test videos from bloggers back in September confirmed its compatibility and seamless integration with both the SU7 and YU7, connecting directly to the vehicle’s systems.

Accessible Safety: Crowdfunding Launch Next Year

Excited to get your hands on one? The good news is it won’t be a high-tech mystery. This “little blue beacon” is slated for an official launch via crowdfunding on Xiaomi’s Youpin platform in January 2026. This means SU7 and YU7 owners will have an accessible and personalized way to add this valuable safety feature to their rides.

Progressing the CarIoT Ecosystem: A Connected Future

Xiaomi isn’t just stopping at car accessories. They’re systematically opening up their CarIoT ecosystem, creating a truly integrated “person-auto-home” experience.

Here’s a peek at the roadmap:

• This Year (2025): Home control from the car (“Home Controls Car”) is already live. This lets you manage your smart home devices while you’re on the go.
• 2026: The next step is activating vehicle control from the home (“Car Controls Home”). Imagine adjusting your car’s climate before you even step outside!
• 2027: This is the big year for full connectivity. Xiaomi plans to fully open the in-car central hub gateway. This will enable a complete ecosystem of devices to connect within your vehicle.

HyperOS

This future vision includes:

• Standardized hardware interfaces for the car environment.
• Dedicated products for the vehicular ecosystem.
• Seamless auto-to-home interconnection.
• Intelligent alliances with various partners.

Currently, the CarIoT platform already supports over 30 categories and collaborates with major manufacturers like BYD, GAC Toyota, and Great Wall Motors. This broad support is crucial for building a truly comprehensive smart living experience. For more details on the YU7, you can check out Xiaomi’s YU7 page.

A Glimpse into the Future of Connectivity

This expansion of Xiaomi’s CarIoT platform highlights their commitment to an open ecosystem. By welcoming third-party developers like the creator of the “little blue beacon,” Xiaomi fosters rapid innovation and allows users to customize their tech experience. The upcoming full integration in 2027 solidifies their “person-auto-home” vision, positioning Xiaomi as a major player in the future of smart mobility and connected living. This is an exciting time for Xiaomi and their expanding range of smart devices, from their impressive smartphones to their growing influence in the Xiaomi Car sector. We’re seeing how technology is transforming our daily lives.
