1. An automobile audio system, comprising:
- a transmitter configured for installation within an automobile and further configured to wirelessly transmit modulated carrier data so that the modulated carrier data is receivable within the automobile, the modulated carrier data being associated with at least two audio signals which are used to generate the modulated carrier data; and
a receiver configured for use within the automobile, where the receiver is selectively tunable to output a recovered audio signal, which is an at least approximate reproduction of a user-desired one of the audio signals, the receiver being further configured to obtain the recovered audio signal from the modulated carrier data via demodulation.

Abstract
An automobile audio system, including a transmitter configured for installation within an automobile and further configured to wirelessly transmit modulated carrier data associated with at least two audio signals so that the modulated carrier data is receivable within the automobile. The automobile audio system may also include a receiver configured for use within the automobile, where the receiver is selectively tunable to obtain a recovered audio signal from the modulated carrier data and output the recovered audio signal, the recovered audio signal being an at least approximate reproduction of a user-desired one of the audio signals.

16. An automobile audio system, comprising:
a transmitter configured to be installed within an automobile and coupled with at least two audio source devices provided within the automobile, the transmitter being further configured to;
receive at least two audio signals from the audio source devices;
generate modulated carrier data based on the audio signals; and
wirelessly transmit the modulated carrier data so that the modulated carrier data is available for reception within the automobile, the transmitter being further configured to transmit the modulated carrier data so as to permit selective recovery within the automobile of any of the audio signals from the modulated carrier data via demodulation. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)

32. An audio delivery method for permitting different occupants of an automobile to simultaneously and selectively listen to audio output from different audio source devices provided within the automobile, comprising:
-
receiving, within the automobile, audio output from one or more audio source devices located within the automobile, the audio output including at least two audio signals;
generating, within the automobile, modulated carrier data using the audio signals;
wirelessly transmitting the modulated carrier data from a first location within the automobile so that the modulated carrier data is receivable at a second location within the automobile; and
selectively processing the modulated carrier data at the second location, so as to output a recovered audio signal obtained from the modulated carrier data via demodulation, where the recovered audio signal corresponds to a user-desired one of the audio signals. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35)
