- **[Install the Automotive Data Kit](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.auto_datakit_install.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    A data kit helps you easily package Data Cloud components such as data model objects, data streams, and calculated insights, and then readily deploy the components in an org of your choice. You can install the Datakit Package for Automotive Cloud in your org, deploy the data streams, and activate the calculated insights.
- **[Deploy Data Streams from the Automotive Data Kit](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.auto_data_streams_deploy.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Create a data stream to connect your Salesforce org to Data Cloud. After you install the Automotive data kit in your org, deploy the predefined data stream mappings that you need. These data streams collect data from Automotive Cloud and store them in Data Cloud. This information is then used to run calculated insights and create further segmentations and transformations in Data Cloud.
- **[Automotive Cloud Data Streams](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.auto_connected_vehicle_data_streams.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Automotive Data Kit contains predefined data streams that map data model objects in Data Cloud to similar objects in Automotive Cloud. The data streams enable a flow of near real-time data related to sales, service, finance, and other aspects of your automotive business from Automotive Cloud to Data Cloud. The fields on the data model objects are mapped to the corresponding fields on the source objects in Automotive Cloud. You can map other fields as required, or delete the mappings that you don’t use.
- **[Activate the Automotive Cloud Calculated Insights](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.auto_datakit_ci_create.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Create and activate the calculated insights from the installed Automotive data kit package in Data Cloud.
- **[Automotive Cloud Calculated Insights](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.auto_connected_vehicle_calculated_insights.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    The Automotive Data Kit contains predefined calculated insights that help automotive companies analyze the data related to customer satisfaction, vehicle and parts sales, and customer lifetime value. The calculated insights are multidimensional metrics created by using complex calculations and logic on the entire digital state in Data Cloud. The insights are automatically recalculated when the base data changes and companies can act on the insights in near real time.
