1. A method for providing an additional data application in a media reproducing apparatus of an automobile, the method comprising steps of:
- (a) executing a base data application wherein the base data application provides an initial screen displayed on a display device connected to the media reproducing apparatus;
(b) selecting a communication path for obtaining the additional data application from a data application providing server to be provided to a user wherein the additional data application is associated with the base data application and selected based on a user input from the user referring to the initial screen, the communication path being selected from one of a first communication path and a second communication path according to a real-time characteristic of the additional data application, wherein the first communication path is selected for obtaining the additional data application so that a data application storage apparatus receives the additional data application from the data application providing server via a wireless communication or a wired communication, and the data application storage apparatus transmits the additional data application to the media reproduction apparatus, while the second communication path is selected for obtaining the additional data application from the data application providing server via a wireless link; and
(c) obtaining and executing the additional data application based on the communication path selected in the step (b).

11. A method for providing an additional data application in a media reproducing apparatus of an automobile, the method comprising steps of:
-
at a data application storage installed at home, receiving a first type of the additional data application from a data application providing server, wherein the first type of the additional data application does not require a real-time characteristic; at the data application storage, transmitting the first type of the additional data application to the media reproducing apparatus; at the media reproducing apparatus, storing the first type of the additional data application; at the media reproducing apparatus, executing a base data application; at the data application providing server, transmitting a second type of the additional data application to the media reproducing apparatus via a wireless link; at the media reproducing apparatus, receiving user input for selecting the additional data application associated with the base data application; and at the media reproducing apparatus, determining whether the selected additional data application is the first type or the second type, and differently executing the additional data application depending on the type of the additional data application, wherein in case the selected additional data application is the first type, the media reproducing apparatus executes the additional data application stored therein, and in case the selected additional data application is the second type, the media reproducing apparatus receives the second type of the additional data application from the data application providing server and then executes the received additional data application.
