1. A method, comprising,
detecting a mobile device present in a vehicle, by a vehicle computer of the vehicle; generating a user interface on a display screen of the vehicle, as instructed by the vehicle computer; identifying by the vehicle computer, a plurality of native applications of the vehicle for the user interface; identifying a plurality of mobile device applications from the mobile device for the user interface, while the mobile devices is present in the vehicle; enabling system controls, using the vehicle computer, to enable access to the plurality of native applications and the plurality of mobile device applications, the system controls including one or more of button inputs of the vehicle, touch screen inputs via the user interface of the display screen of the vehicle, and voice input via microphones of the vehicle; processing, by the vehicle computer, inputs received from the system controls for one or more of the plurality of native applications; using the mobile device to process mobile device applications for inputs received from the system controls for one or more of the mobile device applications, such that some of the inputs for the mobile device applications cause display content to change on the vehicle display, and wherein the processing by the mobile device utilizes one or both of an internet connection provided by the mobile device and an internet connection obtained through the vehicle computer, wherein detecting the mobile device present in a vehicle includes identifying one of a wired or wireless connection of the mobile device with the vehicle computer of the vehicle; and exchanging pairing data between the mobile device and the vehicle computer to identify a user account, the user account being associated with a profile that defines settings for one or more of the plurality of native applications of the vehicle and one or more of the plurality of mobile device applications; the user account being accessible from a cloud server to enable changes to the profile, the changes to the profile from time to time being synchronized to one or both of the mobile device and the vehicle computer, wherein the plurality of mobile device applications are selected from a set of mobile device applications installed on the mobile device, the selected plurality of mobile device applications being pre-identified as safe by data read by the vehicle computer or the cloud server, or being identified as allowed by settings in the profile, wherein pre-identified as safe requires that an application does not enable interaction that has been identified to cause distraction of a driver of the vehicle while the vehicle is in a drive mode or is determined to be moving. |
