Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed for an in-vehicle system and methods of controlling vehicle systems with a mobile device in communication with the in-vehicle system. In one embodiment, an in-vehicle system includes a display device and an interface system communicatively connected to one or more vehicle sensors. The interface system may be configured to receive sensor signals from the one or more vehicle sensors, transmit the sensor signals to a mobile device, receive control signals from the mobile device, and transmit the control signals to a target vehicle system, the control signals responsive to the one or more vehicle sensors.

18. An in-vehicle computing system comprising:
-
a display device integrated into a vehicle; and an interface system communicatively connected to one or more vehicle sensors, one or more in-vehicle control elements, and a mobile device, the interface system configured to; receive, at the interface system, user input data from one or more of the in-vehicle control elements; transmit the received user input data from the interface system to the mobile device, bypassing any processor in the vehicle; receive, at the interface system, display instructions from the mobile device, the display instructions including adjustments to an image displayed on the display device based on the received user input data; transmit the display instructions to the display device while bypassing any processor in the vehicle; receive, at the interface system, control instructions from the mobile device; and transmit the control instructions to a target vehicle system of the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
