Abstract
A system and method for controlling the processing of content in a vehicle involves restricting content with a requirement of at least one vehicle condition. A request is received to process the restricted content with a content processing device. A vehicle system or controller obtains vehicle information of the vehicle. The vehicle system determines whether the vehicle information meets the requirement of the vehicle condition restricting the content. If met, the content processing device is allowed to process the restricted content. Otherwise, the content processing device is prevented from processing the restricted content.
