    摘要: An aftermarket vehicle head unit integration cartridge for use with an aftermarket head unit is provided. The aftermarket head unit preferably includes a dedicated slot for insertion of the cartridge. The cartridge preferably supports communication between a plurality of electronic components in the aftermarket head unit and a plurality of electronic components in the vehicle. The plurality of electronic components in the aftermarket head unit may include, for example, an audio processing system, a video processing system, an analog I/O and/or a digital I/O. and/or a plurality of electronic components. The plurality of electronic components in the vehicle may include an audio system, an analog I/O, a digital I/O/databus, and/or a steering wheel control unit. The cartridge may include a flashable memory for use in reconfiguring the cartridge. The cartridge may be configured to capture and condition the signals from at least one of the plurality of the vehicle-based electronic components. The conditioned signals from the vehicle-based electronic components may be conditioned for use by the aftermarket head unit.

    摘要: A method of bridging incompatibility of a radio head unit in a vehicle and a peripheral device configured to control a peripheral device in the vehicle. The method comprises receiving, from a first image sensor, a first scanned code identifying the vehicle, and receiving, from the first image sensor or a second image sensor, a second scanned code identifying the radio head unit. Based on the first scanned code, identifying a first communication protocol used by the peripheral device. Based on the second scanned code, identifying a second communication protocol used by the radio head unit. Based on the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol, determining a communication configuration ID identifying a target information exchange protocol executable to bridge the incompatibility between the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol. Additionally, the method includes the step of transmitting the communication configuration ID to an interface module, where the interface module is configured to execute the identified information exchange protocol to bridge the incompatibility between the first communication protocol and the second communication protocol.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods for processing an audio signal. The apparatus may include a digital signal processor (“DSP”) configured to receive an audio signal from a vehicular audio signal line. The audio signal may include a flat component and a compensatory component. The flat component may correspond to the audio signal in a state before combination with the compensatory component. The compensatory component may include an OEM EQ component. The apparatus may include a microprocessor in electronic communication with the DSP. The microprocessor may be configured to retrieve from the memory a restorative signal component. The microprocessor may be configured to instruct the DSP to apply the restorative signal component to the audio signal to reduce the audio signal to the flat component.
