Abstract: A wireless connectivity arrangement for an infotainment system of a motor vehicle includes a user profile manager storing associations between users of the motor vehicle and respective personal electronic devices. A wireless connection manager is communicatively coupled to the user profile manager. The wireless connection manager detects that a personal electronic device is in a vicinity of the vehicle, and refers to the user profile manager to determine whether the personal electronic device is a primary personal electronic device of a current user of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method of providing navigation information in a motor vehicle includes the following computer-implemented steps. Received from a user is an identity of a destination that the user would like to go to. It is determined that the destination is not a parking area. Ascertained is a location of a parking area within a threshold distance of the destination. The user is asked if he would like to go to the parking area instead of the destination. Received from the user is an indication that he would like to go to the parking area instead of the destination. In response to receiving the indication from the user, navigation guidance information is provided to arrive at the parking area.

Abstract: A method of enabling a driver to provide inputs to a vehicle while driving includes installing a tactile input device within the vehicle. A first portion of a set of inputs is received from the driver via the tactile input device. An increase in difficulty of a driving task of the driver is sensed. In response to the sensing step, the driver is automatically audibly prompted to enter a second portion of the set of inputs via an auditory input device. The second portion of the set of inputs is received from the driver via the auditory input device.
