Wi-Linx, a software module for the CSR6000 WiFi chips from CSR, can be used in in-vehicle infotainment systems to add WiFi hot spot, WiFi client and Bluetooth 3.0+HS capabilities to any vehicle. The software lets drivers and passengers securely connect to the Internet with handsets, tablets, mobile PCs and portable gaming devices and share information. It also allows in-vehicle infotainment systems to connect to home media servers, diagnostic systems, location-based information portals and other services. A USB broadband modem can be plugged into the vehicle's infotainment system to allow multiple occupants to access the WiFi signal, to link laptops to the Internet or stream video. When the vehicle is parked, it can also download from the home media server. Configurations e.g. parental control settings and firewall controls can be modified over the vehicle CAN bus via a web browser.
