ONDA – smart connectivity for recreational vehicles
The digital core for connected recreational vehicles
A platform for vehicle functions, energy and digital services
Modern recreational vehicles integrate more and more electronic components and functions. ONDA brings these systems together in a scalable digital platform, creating an intelligent link between the vehicle, components and user. Instead of viewing individual systems separately, relevant information and functions are made centrally accessible.
With ONDA Connectivity, compatible vehicle functions can be digitally monitored and controlled. The ONDA Smart System focuses on intelligent monitoring and management of the energy supply. ONDA Retrofitting also makes it possible to gradually expand existing vehicles with digital functions. This way, AL-KO VT provides a modular platform for different vehicle concepts and requirements.
ONDA at a glance
One platform – multiple possibilities
From digital vehicle access to intelligent energy management — ONDA is not a single product solution, but a modular platform. Depending on the vehicle, installed onboard electronics, and desired range of functions, different solutions are available.
- ONDA Connectivity: Connects compatible vehicle functions and enables their monitoring and control via a central app.
- ONDA Smart System: Makes relevant energy data transparent and helps monitor and manage batteries, solar energy and energy consumption.
- ONDA Retrofitting: Enables the integration of digital ONDA Connectivity functions into existing recreational vehicles.
- Modular expandability: Functions and compatible components can be integrated depending on the vehicle concept.
- Central access: Relevant information is clearly provided via digital user interfaces.
ONDA Retrofitting
Digitally retrofit existing recreational vehicles
Existing recreational vehicles can also be integrated into the digital ONDA world. With ONDA Connectivity Retrofitting, existing onboard networks can be specifically expanded with modern connectivity, monitoring, and control functions. The entire vehicle architecture does not need to be replaced.
Depending on the existing equipment, compatible components can be integrated into the system and expanded step by step. This makes ONDA Retrofitting particularly suitable for motorhomes and caravans where the existing onboard electronics are to be upgraded with digital functions.
The benefits at a glance:
- Digitally retrofit existing vehicles
- Continue to use installed onboard electronics
- Add app-based control and monitoring
- Modular extension according to vehicle and requirements
- Use Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and optional cloud connection
Which ONDA Retrofit Kit suits my vehicle?
Use the product finder to find the compatible solution in just a few steps
Which retrofit solution is suitable depends on the onboard electronics that are already installed. The ONDA Retrofitting product finder helps you identify the right kit for your vehicle.
To do so, select in sequence:
- Vehicle
- Installed electrical system or distribution module
- Existing control panel
- Suitable ONDA Retrofit Kit
If no suitable solution is found, compatibility can be checked individually.
Which ONDA solution suits my vehicle?
Connectivity, energy management or retrofitting – the desired range of functions is decisive
If you want to centrally monitor vehicle functions such as energy supply, tank information, temperature or lighting and control compatible devices via an app, ONDA Connectivity is the right solution for you.
If, on the other hand, you mainly wish to monitor your vehicle's energy supply transparently, and centrally record information on batteries, consumption and solar output, the ONDA Smart System is designed for this purpose.
If you already own a recreational vehicle with existing onboard electronics and want to expand it with modern connectivity functions, ONDA Connectivity Retrofitting offers the ideal entry point. The product finder helps identify a compatible retrofit solution for the existing system.
Frequently asked questions about ONDA
ONDA is the digital platform from AL-KO VT for connected recreational vehicles. It combines vehicle management, energy management, and digital connectivity, forming the basis for ONDA Connectivity, ONDA Smart System and ONDA Retrofitting.
ONDA Connectivity focuses on networking and digital operation of compatible vehicle functions. ONDA Smart System is geared towards monitoring and managing the energy supply, providing, for example, data on batteries, consumption and solar systems.
Depending on the vehicle configuration, you can monitor or control battery and tank information, temperatures, lighting and other compatible devices. Additionally, GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and optional remote access are available among other features.
ONDA Connectivity already supports compatible components from various manufacturers. CBE currently lists systems including heating and air conditioning, batteries, refrigerators, inverters, lighting and gas sensors. The list is extended based on tested and approved integrations.
Yes, ONDA Connectivity retrofit solutions are available for existing recreational vehicles. Whether a particular vehicle is compatible depends on the installed onboard electronics. The ONDA Retrofitting product finder helps you choose a suitable solution.
In the ONDA Retrofitting product finder, select your vehicle, the existing electrical system and the installed control panel. Afterwards, the compatible retrofit kit – if available – will be displayed.
For certain local functions, ONDA Connectivity can use Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Cloud- and SIM-based functions are available for remote access. The required connection depends on the respective function.
The current ONDA Smart System includes in particular the BDS200 Battery Duo System, the PRM400 MPPT solar charge controller, and the AM-Shunts AM150, AM260 and AM500.
