Wired connectivity is made to the vehicle using a portable audio interface panel. The level of connectivity is dependent upon the vehicle infotainment equipment level.

InControl Touch systems have a portable audio interface panel which can contain sockets for:

12 V accessory socket
3.5 mm auxiliary media input
Universal Serial Bus (USB) 1.0/2.0
Secure Digital (SD) card for navigation and voice control
Micro Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) card.

Primary user control of the InControl Touch audio system is via the Touch Screen (TS) which is located in the center of the instrument panel. Control signals from the TS are relayed on an Automotive Pixel Link 2 (APIX2) connection to the AHU. The AHU relays the control signals to the rest of the audio system on a High Speed (HS) Controller Area Network (CAN) infotainment systems bus.
