It discusses various methods for integrating smartphones and connecting vehicles to the internet or mobile networks, including through tethering, embedded connectivity modules, or wireless synchronization of content. Standards like RadioDNS and services from the Internet Media Device Alliance are presented as ways to enhance radio listening experiences across different devices and networks.
This document proposes a solution for navigation in car infotainment systems using existing smartphones and an audio jack interface without additional hardware costs. It describes transmitting location and routing data from a smartphone to the infotainment system using frequency-shift keying modulation over the audio jack. This would allow the infotainment system to access the smartphone's built-in navigation app for turn-by-turn directions. The audio jack interface provides a plug-and-play, low power solution to drive navigation in more infotainment systems. While data transfer speeds would be low, it is presented as a low-cost alternative to options like Bluetooth or built-in navigation units.

Ford as a brand has always been committed to bringing the benefits of new technologies to mainstream consumers. Indeed, we have a long track-record of pioneering innovations which many car-owners now take for granted – features like quick-clear windscreen, traffic-sign recognition, and Auto Start-Stop.
And in fact we were also the first manufacturer to offer DAB digital radio as a dealer-fit option, back in 2003. I’d like to say it was a roaring success, but sadly, I can’t. The coverage wasn’t there, the choice of stations was limited. It was an idea whose time hadn’t quite come.
But we stuck with it – and today, Ford is further advanced than most manufacturers along the road to making DAB radio a standard feature in all our vehicles.
We introduced the first factory-fitted units on our larger cars in 2008: DAB came as standard on top-end series, and as an option on lower series. Then in 2010 the new Ford C-MAX became the first volume production car to offer DAB as standard across the range; …and we did the same with new Focus, launched last year. In fact, we used DAB as one of the key themes of the Focus advertising campaign.In total, we’ve put 360,000 DAB-fitted vehicles onto Britain’s roads over the last 4 years. And so far this year, more than half of the cars we’ve sold have had DAB fitted as standard. So, as I said, we’re more than ready to play our part.But we can’t do the job on our own.
In the third quarter of this year, of the 560,000 new cars sold in the UK, around 25% had DAB fitted as standard; and it was available as an option on another 25%. But still, DAB was not available at all on fully 50% of those cars.
Why is that? One reason is the global nature of the automotive industry. Building global products means balancing global market needs. The UK is way ahead of Europe and the US on digital radio, but the UK represents only a small percentage of total global vehicle sales.Two million new cars are sold each year in the UK. In Europe, the figure is 12 million. Globally, it’s 80 million.
Another reason is the lack of certainty regarding when the switchover will occur. Without a definite switchover date, it has been hard for Ford UK to justify the engineering investment required.
So we need that certainty; but we also need time. Global product development cycles are long and complex. We have to make the decision to offer a feature like DAB up to 4 years before a new vehicle appears in the market.
And, of course, there’s the financial dimension to consider. As I’m sure you’re all aware, the automotive industry is under a lot of pressure at the moment. Manufacturers are disinclined to make risky investments.When we invest in standardising a new feature, we’re taking a risk that in four years’ time we’ll be able to generate the revenue to offset the cost of the investment. We did it on Focus, a medium-sized vehicle where equipment levels are higher and so are revenues. But with smaller, lower-margin cars, you have to be pretty sure that the risk is going to pay off before you commit yourself. Standardising the same feature on Fiesta would be a £20 million investment. And if customers don’t value the new feature, we’ve wasted our money.
After all, we’re selling cars, not radios. And we can’t simply bolt on a radio as an afterthought. Integration has to happen early. The radio has to work alongside hundreds of other electrical systems in the vehicle without causing any interference or other issues. It has to survive the rigours of extensive crash tests.
So it’s critical that customers recognise the value of DAB, and really want it. Our vehicle specifications have to offer the combination of features that customers perceive as offering the greatest value. And there are lots of features to choose from. On a Ford Focus, for example, customers can choose from over 40 features, depending on the model specification. Why should they choose DAB rather than alloy wheels – or, more pertinently, a USB port?
But the opportunity is there – as much as 20% of radio listening is done on the road. Most van drivers listen to the radio all day – they’d be lost without it! And we already know that many of our customers enjoy what DAB offers: extended station choice and clarity of reception are highly valued, especially among drivers who love stations like Talksport and Radio 5Live, which were previously AM-only.
So we at Ford are very pleased that the government is committed to making an announcement in 2013 confirming that the switchover will happen as soon as the key criteria are met. We’re also delighted to see the media and communication activity planned for next year, to drive awareness of, and demand for, DAB.
For our business, that certainty of change is critical – and it’s the same for our customers, too. We need the scales to tip in favour of fitting DAB, driven by a comprehensive communication campaign that leaves people in no doubt that they must have DAB in their car. The final element we need is the value of DAB being reflected in used car values. Then we will see DAB become an essential rather than a ‘nice-to-have’.
Whether our customers are buying new, second-hand or sticking with their current vehicle, we want to ensure that all Ford owners have the DAB choice. To that end, I am pleased to announce that Ford will be launching a dealer-fit DAB upgrade package by the end of the year. We are working with Connects2 to provide a quality installation at an affordable price of under £200. It’ll be a ‘black-box’ behind-dash solution, installed in less than an hour at any one of our 650 authorised repair centres. This will allow a further 2.3 million Ford customers to join the DAB community. The package covers all Ford vehicles up to 7 years old.
I can also tell you that we have just launched the all-new B-MAX with DAB as standard across the range. And the New Kuga we’re launching next month will also have standard DAB. We’re also investing in new technology to enhance customers’ in-car entertainment and connectivity. With the latest digital technology, it’s not just about radio: it’s about listening in the car, whether it’s music from an i-Pod or a USB stick, or listening to radio via podcasts or apps.
Ford Sync responds to this demand. Not only does it offer voice command calling, conversion of text to voice, and sending texts via voice commands…It also allows owners to select music artists, tracks, albums, genres, or playlists – again, all by voice. Sync is already available on Focus, C-MAX and the new B-MAX and new Kuga, and will be progressively rolled out onto our other products – and there’s a second-generation Sync MyFordTouch touch-screen enhancement still to come.And no, we haven’t forgotten about those van drivers! Sync with DAB is standard on new Transit Custom high series, with a DAB option available across the range. And next year, our new Transit Connect arrives, with DAB as standard across the range.
Let me sum up where we stand today.90% of our range already has DAB available, either as standard or as an option.DAB has been engineered into all our future product launches. And our aftermarket solution will be in place next month.I can say confidently that Ford has taken a manufacturing and marketing lead on DAB introduction. We’re ready… and waiting.Thanks very much.

Switchover affect all vehicle users (cars, motorcycles, heavy vehicles, trucks, agriculture) 31.3 million vehicles in vehicle parc (SMMT Motor Industry Facts 2012) All new vehicles, from 2013, will be built with Digital as standard Owners are retaining vehicles for longer due to economic climate Need for retro-fit or conversion Consumer confidence in the replacement / retro-fit is key Cost of time – 2 hoursCost to consumer approx. £200
Not as simple as just removing the radio and putting another one in its place Involves removal and replacement of trim and fittings, antenna placement, automotive specific electrical wiring and installation and integrating changes with existing electrical systems / network Example – small-medium family car has average of 25 Electronic Control Units (ECUs) – Ford Focus – if radio not connected properly it can affect other systems such as electric window failure. All vehicles will need new aerial to accept the Digital signal (regardless of conversion type) Need the technician to have right skills and competence (Level 2) Reduce pain for the customer during switchover

Everything Everywhere is now available in the UK, with a new network and a new brand, known simply as EE bringing with it the first 4G service in the UK. Now that the auction for other 4G spectrum bands has been brought forward in order to stave off possible appeals and gripes by the network's rivals.The new EE service starts in 11 cities: London,Bristol, Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield andSouthampton with 2,000 square miles of 4G network promised to be added every month.After that, EE has five levels of contract on offer and you simply have to pick the amount of data you think you'll be munching through: 500MB (£36), 1GB (£41), 3GB (£46), 5GB (£51) and 8GB (£56), monthly prices given in bracketEE says that by the end of 2013, 70 per cent of the UK population will be covered with 4G, with 98 per cent coverage by the end of 2014. What's more, the announcement gives EE around a 6-month lead on Vodafone and O2 in the 4G stakes who currently have to wait until Ofcom auctions off the available spectrum to make that possible. Both O2 and Vodafone opted to wait for the official sell off before launching 4G, even though some believe both could have scrabbled together a 4G offering out of the bandwidths they already own.
