Abstract
A vehicle display apparatus for enabling use of a wireless portable electronic device with a vehicle includes a processor, and a display, a transceiver, and memory each coupled to the processor. The memory contains program instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to receive data at the transceiver over a first wireless connection with a wireless headgear apparatus. The wireless headgear apparatus is in communication with the wireless mobile device over a second wireless connection. The program instructions are further configured to cause the processor to display information related to the wireless mobile device on the display based on the received data, to receive a user selection related to operation of the wireless mobile device via a user interface in communication with the processor, and to transmit the user selection to the wireless headgear apparatus.
