Adapter adds Bluetooth to legacy handsets
The BlueCore2-External single-chip solution has been chosen to Bluetooth-enable the Jabra BT200 headset that allows wireless connectivity with Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones.
The Bluetooth system includes a telematics control unit (TCU) which uses an embedded GSM module and an embedded Bluetooth module with a powerful CPU.
It connects to a multimedia interface (MMI) on the car dashboard, through an optical MOST bus system.
The system is also equipped with an in-car rechargeable cordless Bluetooth handset which allows the passengers to place and accept calls directly through the TCU Bluetooth link.
