TLDR
In this article, a control system for mounting in a vehicle and for providing information to a portable electronic device for processing by the portable electronic devices is described, which includes a first interface for communicating with the PED and a memory device, and a processing circuit communicably coupled to the first interface and the memory device.Abstract:
A control system for mounting in a vehicle and for providing information to a portable electronic device for processing by the portable electronic device is shown and described. The control system includes a first interface for communicating with the portable electronic device and a memory device. The control system also includes a processing circuit communicably coupled to the first interface and the memory device, the processing circuit configured to extract information from the memory device and to provide the information to the first interface so that the first interface communicates the information to the portable electronic device. The processing circuit is further configured to determine the capabilities of the portable electronic device based on data received from the portable electronic device via the first interface and to determine whether or not to communicate the information to the portable electronic device based on the determined capabilities.read more
