Area	0x0f000000	0x01000000	GLOBAL
Type	0x00ff0000	0x00100000	STRING

Reading it from an app

CarPropertyManager mgr = (CarPropertyManager)
        car.getCarManager(Car.PROPERTY_SERVICE);

CarPropertyValue<String> value =
        mgr.getProperty(VehiclePropertyIds.INFO_MAKE, 0);

This property is read-only — writes are rejected. It is static for the life of the vehicle, so read it once and cache it.
