iPod, PDA and Wireless

 

iPod Control and Display

DGE has developed a small footprint embedded iPod interface for an automotive telematics application.  The controller utilizes two-way communications to both control the iPod and request track meta data for use by an external display.  For the track info, we created a custom alpha-numeric jump algorithm.  Our embedded iPod interface has been integrated into a third-party telematics ECU.

 

 

PDA and Wireless Solutions

DGE engineers were among the first to explore the use of Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) in an automotive environment.

The Bluetooth Diagnostics Tester (BDT), based on a Compaq iPAQ personal digital assistant.  This tool incorporates our Gateway technology and Bluetooth hardware to perform diagnostic functions such as trouble code retrieval, module data retrieval, and Hands Free Module re-flash file transfer over the Bluetooth wireless link.

Wireless

This investigation led to DGE's involvement in creating the popular J1850 Mini Flight Recorder, a highly portable and convenient system for testing the J1850 communications network, which is built around a Palm PDA.
