  • Method and apparatus for control of personal digital media devices using a vehicle audio system
    Publication number: 20050281414
    Abstract: A system and method for controlling a personal digital media device is provided, the system and method using the controls of a vehicle audio system. An interface unit receives and translates vehicle audio system control signals and forwards the translated signals in a form interpretable by the personal digital media device for execution. The interface unit may also receive responses from the personal digital media device and forward translated responses to the vehicle audio system for, for example, display in the vehicle audio system's display device. In response to predetermined control signals from the vehicle audio system, the interface unit may command the personal digital media device to playback user-defined playlists named in accordance with a playlist naming convention. The vehicle operator is thus provided an intuitive way to control the personal digital media device remotely via the vehicle audio system's controls, including via steering wheel-mounted audio system controls.
