Proton X70 owners can now access MYTV Mana-Mana’s extensive content library directly through their IHU-enabled vehicles using Proton’s pre-installed internet connectivity, thanks to a collaboration between MYTV, Aco Tech and Proton.
MYTV Mana-Mana offers 23 local and international TV channels, 22 live radio stations, and over 1,800 video-on-demand titles. Users can begin watching in the car and continue later on smartphones or other devices. Also, internet-based radio streaming negates the need to change FM frequencies as you travel interstate.
MYTV digital terrestrial television last year achieved 7.5 million viewers (+19.4% year-on-year), and the Mana-Mana app, launched in July 2023, has surpassed half a million downloads, nine million cumulative views and is maintaining over 180,000 active users monthly.
“In line with the latest technology, MYTV is committed to providing access to all Proton car owners with high-quality entertainment and information via MYTV Mana-Mana app starting with the X70 model,” said Altel Holdings (holding company of MYTV) acting group CEO Helmi Mohamed Harith.
“I’ve been informed that MYTV and the Commercial Radio Malaysia (CRM) association plan to engage with the investment, trade and industry ministry (MITI) to explore the feasibility of integrating this application into the infotainment head units of vehicles, including EVs,” communications minister Fahmi Fadzil said at the launch, according to Bernama.
He added that MYTV has made efforts to introduce the digital TV service on Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad‘s (KTMB) business-class carriages, and that it could make its way to in-flight entertainment in the future as well.

distracted driving
Did the minister consult JPJ/police about movie playback on dashboard head unit? Not controlling android head unit with illegal streaming sales in M’sia is already bad enough, now with OEM some more.
I thought using phone while driving is illegal. If 2+2 4 and 5+5 is 10, wtf is this?
very clever, giving only dangerous to consumers
Hahahahha funny people nowadays. U dont ever bother this function exist in tesla merc bmw but making lots of noise when it comes to proton. U b40 please think before commenting please
PH propaganda right in your car, what else do you want you sheeps?
Now with AA/CP available why would you even want this near you? Oh wait, sheeps…
A very good edutainment to kill time.
Could only watch tv programme on IHU while car in stationary mode good for those waiting for picking up children at school waiting gf bf finishing dressing up makeup coming out to board your car.
Are these people idiots? They do understand that you can only watch this during park right? I CAN confirm this, bcuz I own a 2024/2025 X70
No we don’t because we don’t own cars with questionnable infotainment security
ironic because peppa owns a cx30 with ancient tech which doesn’t even allow to play videos on the head unit
And how long you think it will take for people to find a workshop of sorts that will disable this, allowing for video to be played at any time?
in my opinion, from a technology perspective, this is not impressive since many local TV channels already have live broadcasts via the internet which you can watch through a browser.
Why don’t have 8TV ? Who wanna watch RTM stuff
