Abstract
Example in-vehicle infotainment control systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a method receives a request from a mobile device to control an in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) system of a vehicle. The method determines whether a speed of the vehicle exceeds a threshold and whether the mobile device is operated by a passenger of the vehicle. If the vehicle'"'"'s speed exceeds the threshold and the mobile device is operated by a passenger, the mobile device is allowed to control the IVI system.
