Abstract: A system and method are disclosed herein for providing an integrated safety system for a vehicle. The system comprises a vehicle audio and infotainment system having software code to allow a mobile device to connect to it such that certain features of the mobile device can be controlled by the vehicle's audio and infotainment system. The system allows the mobile device to be authenticated with the vehicle such that the mobile device can also control the vehicle's ignition, security and audio and infotainment systems. The system only allows the mobile device to be operable within the vehicle via the vehicle's integrated audio and infotainment controls. The system prevents the use of certain features of the audio and infotainment system if certain safety precautions are not taken. The system determines if a passenger has properly engaged the restrain system before the audio and infotainment system becomes operable for a user.
