    Abstract: In general techniques are described by which to provide switchable communication transport for communication between primary devices and vehicle head units. A primary device comprising a memory and a processor may be configured to perform the techniques. The memory may store an operating system and an application. The processor may execute the operating system to present a single communication interface by which the application establishes a first transport between the primary device and a vehicle head unit that facilitates execution of a mode in which the application provides data for presentation by the vehicle head unit. The processor may also execute the application to transmit, during execution of the mode, the data via the first transport, where the operating system switches, during execution of the mode, from the first transport to a second transport. The application transmits, during execution of the mode, the data via the second transport.

    Abstract: An example method includes identifying, by a mobile computing device, short-range wireless communication signals that are associated with a vehicle computing system; determining, by the mobile computing device, based on the short-range wireless communication signals, that the mobile computing device is proximate to the vehicle computing system; identifying, by the mobile computing device, an electrical connection between the mobile computing device and the vehicle, wherein the electrical connection is provided by an electrical cable that connects a port of the mobile computing device to a port of the vehicle; determining, by the mobile computing device, that the electrical connection is a charge-only connection, wherein the charge-only connection enables an electrical charging or discharging of the mobile computing device but prohibits any data transfer between the mobile computing device and the vehicle computing system; and outputting, by the mobile computing device, a notification indicative of the charge-only connection.
