1. A method of replicating a display output of a mobile device onto a display of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving the display output from the mobile device to display as a single screen duplicate in the vehicle;
activating a region selection interface configured to receive at least one input defining a plurality of selected interface regions of the single screen duplicate, the single screen duplicate of the received display output of the mobile device is divided into the plurality of selected interface regions;
activating a target selection interface configured to receive an input defining a target display location within the vehicle; and
outputting at least one of the plurality of selected interface regions to the vehicle for display on the target display location;
wherein the activating a region selection interface causes displaying of either an interface that invites an input to select a template for division of the single screen duplicate into the plurality of selected interface regions or an interface that invites an input to divide the single screen duplicate into the plurality of selected interface regions,wherein the target display location includes two or more selected from the group comprising;
an instrument panel, a mirror, a console display, a head-up display, and a rear seat screen.
