Phoenix Studio enables app development with hardware simulation. tags: - Platform - Core - term: SmartCore definition: >- Visteon's high-performance cockpit domain controller hardware platform that consolidates multiple ECU functions into a single compute module. SmartCore supports multi-display experiences and centralizes infotainment, cluster, and ADAS processing. tags: - Hardware - Platform - term: HMI definition: >- Human-Machine Interface - the in-vehicle display, touchscreen, and interaction layer that drivers and passengers use to interact with the infotainment system, navigation, climate control, and connected services. tags: - User Interface - Core - term: Audio Source definition: >- An input source for the vehicle audio system, such as FM radio, AM radio, Bluetooth audio streaming, USB media, auxiliary input, or internet radio. Only one source can be active at a time. tags: - Audio - Media - term: Vehicle Data definition: >- Real-time telemetry and status information from vehicle systems including speed, fuel level, odometer, engine state, gear position, and HVAC settings. Accessed via the Phoenix Vehicle API. tags: - Telemetry - Vehicle - term: HVAC definition: >- Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning - the climate control system. Exposed via the Phoenix Vehicle API with temperature, fan speed, and AC on/off state. tags: - Climate - Vehicle - term: Navigation Route definition: >- A planned path from the vehicle's current position to a destination, including turn-by-turn waypoints, estimated time of arrival (ETA), and remaining distance. tags: - Navigation - Core - term: Point of Interest (POI) definition: >- A notable location such as a gas station, restaurant, hotel, or attraction that can be searched via the Navigation API and used as a navigation destination. tags: - Navigation - Location - term: Cockpit Domain Controller definition: >- A centralized compute platform that consolidates previously separate ECUs for infotainment, digital cluster, and driver assistance into a single high-performance unit. Visteon's SmartCore HPC targets the premium segment. tags: - Hardware - Architecture - term: Display Audio definition: >- An entry-to-mid-range head unit form factor that provides touchscreen infotainment with audio, phone, media, and navigation, typically without a full digital cluster. tags: - Hardware - Platform - term: Remote UI definition: >- A Phoenix API capability enabling applications to render UI content on remote displays within the vehicle cockpit, supporting multi-screen experiences where content is streamed to secondary screens. tags: - Display - Multi-Screen - term: Media Library definition: >- A browsable catalog of music, video, and photo content available from connected devices such as USB drives or paired mobile phones. tags: - Media - Content - term: Device Manager definition: >- A Phoenix API component that lists and manages connected media devices (USB drives, Bluetooth devices) and their available content libraries. tags: - Device Management - Media
