I will approach this problem step by step. 

First, I need to understand the requirements for the connected vehicle feature. I will identify the data that needs to be collected from the vehicle, such as through the OBD or other protocols. 

Next, I will develop an Android application using Android Studio. This application will read data from the vehicle's MCU or Android OS and will parse and organize the information into a human-readable format. 

I will create a component within the Android framework to read the vehicle's states. This component will open ports based on the ignition status and will read and convert the vehicle data. 

I will then broadcast the data to another APK responsible for receiving and processing it, utilizing broadcast mechanisms for quick data transfer between components. 

The receiving APK will handle network calls to send the data to the cloud using various APIs. I will ensure efficient and reliable communication between the vehicle, the application, and the cloud. 

Finally, I will conduct thorough testing to ensure that the feature works seamlessly and meets performance standards.
