Delphi claims that with its Delphi data connectivity systems the options are virtually unlimited. Automakers can determine the number, locations and variety of consumer interfaces included in the vehicle. Interfaces are typically on the dashboard, inside the glove box, on the console or in the rear seat passenger compartment.
Multiple consumer interfaces can accommodate audio and video, telematics and global positioning exchange data. They are USCAR-30 compliant and all Delphi consumer interfaces employ industry standard I/O interfaces used to connect peripheral devices to computers.
John Yurtin, connection systems component specialist at Delphi Electrical/Electronic Architecture, said: A single USB port that serves as an interface between the vehicle’s electrical system and external consumer equipment enabling passengers to download MP3 music files from pen-drives and iPods and listen to music files stored on those devices through the vehicle’s audio system may not satisfy all passengers.
