whilst in the LVCC north hall (mostly filled with cars and loud in car stereo systems) i also took the opportunity to visit one of the auto seminars. Came across a standards called connect2car which may be extended further to give remote access of various car features and functionality to authorised bluetooth devices.
As with the video content market there are new calls for collaboration and extended standards to increasingly create open access and transportability of devices in this new market.
connect2car
The exisiting product comprises of SoftDash a software dashboard product. A multi-functional controller, it works hand in hand with SoftDash providing you with unlimited possibilities such as engine on/off, door lock/unlock, alarm on/off and the list is endless.
Bluetooth wireless technology communication with the MFC is two way. The MFC will not do anything if it does not see (can not communicate/reach) the controller device, also the controller device will not acknowledge an action response made by the user, unless it gets a reply from the MFC.
Using Bluetooth wireless technology, either the computer or phone can be connected. Both of them cannot be connected at the same time, except if you also have a serial cable connection for one and Bluetooth wireless technology for the other. The industry would like to extend this type of technology further to help manage portable media and interface with more personal devices which may be used in the car.
