  • METHOD FOR USING RADIO PRESETS AS APPLICATION SHORTCUTS
    Publication number: 20120272145
    Abstract: A control arrangement for a vehicle includes an infotainment console having a user interface with a plurality of pushbuttons. A communication device is communicatively coupled to the infotainment console and relays signals between the infotainment console and a portable computing device.
