Motor vehicle built-in unit for mobile phone
First Claim
1. A motor vehicle built-in unit for a mobile phone, comprising:
- a central control unit to be connected to a mobile phone, the mobile phone having a mobile phone-specific communications protocol;
an interface connected between and adapted to exchange signals between said central control unit and a motor vehicle, the motor vehicle having a motor vehicle-specific communications protocol differing from the mobile phone-specific communications protocol;
a motor vehicle-specific adapter control unit adapting functions of said central control unit to the respective type of motor vehicle; and
a device in said central control unit converting signals between the motor vehicle-specific communications protocol and the mobile phone-specific communications protocol.

Abstract
A motor vehicle built-in unit for a mobile phone has a central control unit and an interface for exchanging signals between the central control unit of the mobile phone and the motor vehicle. The built-in unit also has a motor vehicle-specific adapter control unit for adapting functions of the interface and/or of the central control unit to the respective type of motor vehicle. The modular design allows for electrical and mechanical adaptation to various types of motor vehicles so that the central control unit and interface can be identical for a wide variety of motor vehicles. An alternative built-in unit has a central unit and an interface for connecting to the motor vehicle. The interface is designed to connect the built-in unit to the motor vehicle selectively either with a standardized plug-type connector or a motor vehicle-specific plug-type connector. The motor vehicle built-in unit can therefore easily be adapted to the type of plug which is used in the respective motor vehicle.
