First Claim
1. A nomadic device for attenuating vehicle audio comprising:
- a wireless transceiver for communicating signals to the vehicle computing system for processing;
a processor in communication with the wireless transceiver, the processor configured to;
send a request of the nomadic device to play audio at a vehicle computer system;
send a wireless signal to the vehicle computer system representative of an audible statement to be played at the vehicle computer system, wherein the audible statement is utilized by the vehicle computing system to determine an amount to attenuate vehicle audio based on one or more audio sources of the vehicle computer system and a time the wireless signal is received at the vehicle computer system; and

Abstract
A system for attenuating vehicle audio for mobile application audible statements, the system comprising a vehicle computing system having one or more processors for playing audio in the vehicle from a plurality of different audio sources. The system also includes a wireless transceiver for communicating signals from a mobile computing device for processing by the vehicle computing system. The vehicle computing system is configured to receive a wireless signal from the mobile computing device representative of an audible statement to be played in the vehicle. If the vehicle computing system is playing audio in the vehicle at the time the wireless signal is received from the mobile computing device, determine an amount to attenuate the audio based on the source of the audio. Attenuate the audio and play the audible statement based on the determination.
