An apparatus including a controller interposed between vehicle electronics and multiple ports having data, power, and wireless communications connections, the ports being intended for accommodating various types of vehicle aftermarket products. Programs within a memory associated with the controller dictate which ports will communicate with selected other ports and/or the vehicle electronics; whether data transmitted between different ports and/or the vehicle electronics is to be translated to different formats, transformed to data representing other physical quantities, or otherwise manipulated; and whether signal conditioners between the controller and the ports and/or vehicle electronics are to be actuated to provide buffering, level conversion, analog-to-digital or digital-to-analog conversion, etc. The apparatus thus provides for the rapid and easy installation or removal of vehicle aftermarket products by plugging/unplugging them from their ports and installing/removing appropriate programs.
