Embodiments are described for an in-vehicle computing system, and methods of controlling vehicle settings using the in-vehicle computing system based on input received from a wearable device. Input may also be received from a mobile device. The in-vehicle computing system may automatically adjust…
It is an object to save power and control engine startup and shutdown while improving the cabin environment with a simple configuration. A vehicular air conditioning control device detects an outside air temperature (100); finds from an eco-running map a time TA until odor and so forth…
The invention relates to a method and a control system for controlling an auxiliary device of a vehicle, wherein the auxiliary device is automatically started at a starting time which is determined based on an estimated departure time of the vehicle. In particular, the invention relates to an…
The method involves transmitting a heater operating data sequence from a server (24) to computer (20), based on request from the computer (20). Another heater operating data sequence which is dependant on the former heater operating data sequence is transmitted from the computer to a data memory of…
A slave node (46, 48, 50, 52) for use with a Local Interconnect Network (LIN network) (40) receives incoming messages from the LIN network (40) in a manner that reduces operating current, power consumption and/or operating temperature. The slave node (46, 48, 50, 52) generally includes an input…
