Aha Radio
With the Aha Radio smartphone app
(iOS
®
device or current Android
®
device),
the customer can access additional data
services such as web radio, online weather
updates or online searches directly from
PCM inside the car. To use these services,
the iOS
®
device needs to be connected to
PCM by cable, whereas an Android
®
device
connects via Bluetooth
®
.
Audio player
An audio player is a software application on
a portable device (e. g. mobile phone) for
playing audio files stored on the device.
Auto-connect
If two devices have been registered or ‘paired’
with each other, i. e. authorised to exchange
data, either device can be configured to
automatically transmit a connection request
that is automatically answered by the other
device. It is therefore possible for a Bluetooth
®
mobile phone to be connected automatically every
time the car is started. In order for the mobile
phone to accept a request from the in-car system,
the system must be authorised in the device list
on the mobile phone.
Authorisation
In order for a Bluetooth
®
connection to be
established automatically, the device requesting
the connection must be authorised on the
other device. This authorisation is performed
automatically on some phones, while on others
it must be performed explicitly by the user in the
Bluetooth
®
device list.
AUX BT
AUX BT is an external audio source in PCM (similar
to an iPod
®
or USB source) by means of which
audio data stored on a mobile device can be
streamed by Bluetooth
®
and played on PCM’s
sound system. Bluetooth
®
profiles required are
A2DP and AVRCP.
Bluetooth
®
Bluetooth
®
is an industry standard for the wireless
networking of electronic devices over short
distances of up to 10 metres. It allows mobile
electronic devices such as mobile phones and
PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) as well as PCs
and peripherals, e. g. keyboards, to communicate
wirelessly with each other, with Bluetooth
®
as the
interface.
Bluetooth
®
Advanced Audio Distribution Prole
(A2DP)
Bluetooth
®
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile
(A2DP) enables digital audio data (e. g. MP3s)
to be streamed wirelessly from a data source
(portable MP3 player or mobile phone) to a
receiver (headphones or vehicle sound system).
It is used by PCM for the AUX BT source.
Bluetooth
®
Audio/Video Remote Control
Prole (AVRCP)
The Bluetooth
®
Audio/Video Remote Control
Profile (AVRCP) enables remote control of
an audio player installed on a mobile device
(e. g. portable MP3 player or mobile phone).
Supported functions depend heavily on the
actual software implementation on the mobile
phone or Bluetooth
®
player in question.
Minimum functions are ‘Start Player’, ‘Pause’,
‘Next Track’ and ‘Previous Track’. Newer
devices already support the transfer of some
metadata (name, artist and album of the track
currently playing) and even the launching of
the audio player when the relevant AUXBT
source is selected on PCM, or advanced
player functions such as ‘Shuffle’ or ‘Repeat’.
