In-Vehicle Software

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Pontiac Montana SV6, 2007 Chevrolet Uplander, and 2007 Buick Terraza. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The in-vehicle software is downloaded from the removable cartridge to the overhead console assembly whenever the cartridge is inserted. The in-vehicle software shall perform all functions required to play back audio and video content on the cartridge, and shall perform all control functions to interface with the other vehicle infotainment components.

The in-vehicle software may communicate information about the audio content being played back to the radio and Disk Player and Video Display with the purpose of displaying that information on the radio or rear seat entertainment System displays.

Control of the Mobile Entertainment Data System audio content can be achieved by the driver using the voice browsing interface. The voice browsing interface uses a text-to-speech routine to translate the information about the audio files into speech delivered to the vehicle occupants through the speakers. The voice browsing interface allows the occupants to browse audio content by artist, album or genre. In addition, the voice browsing interface is able to inform the occupants of the title of the audio track being played. Commands from the driver are sent to the Mobile Entertainment Data System from the radio faceplate buttons or from the equivalent steering wheel buttons. Preset buttons shall be used to select the category of browsing. Up/Down and Seek buttons shall be used to browse within a given browsing category.

Control of the Mobile Entertainment Data System audio, video and video game content can be achieved by the rear seat passengers through a graphical user interface displayed on the Disk Player and Video Display

Because of delayed response, the Disk Player and Video Display remote control can not be used to play the video game portion of the GMT201 Mobile Digital Media.
