A vehicle includes an audio device including a radio tuner configured for receiving radio frequency signals, a radar configured for detecting radar data of a rear seat passenger, and a controller electrically connected to the radar, wherein the controller is configured to determine, in response that a radio broadcast is being played in the audio device, whether the rear seat passenger is sleeping based on the radar data detected by the radar, switch, if the rear seat passenger is sleeping, a radio mode from a normal playback mode to a sleep assistance mode, and change, in the sleep assistance mode, at least one of radio frequency and radio sound quality through the radio tuner.

Vehicle and method of controlling the same

Disclosed are an audio apparatus and a vehicle having the same. The vehicle includes an input device, a display device, an audio apparatus configured to receive a frequency signal, amplify the received frequency signal, and demodulate the amplified frequency signal to output a signal in an audible frequency range, and a controller configured to identify broadcasting information corresponding to the frequency signal received by the audio apparatus and control the display device to display the identified broadcasting information, wherein the broadcasting information includes one or more of a program name, a broadcaster, a broadcasting time, and a broadcasting station name.

Audio apparatus and vehicle having the same

A vehicle includes: a location identification device to identify a location of the vehicle; a first antenna including an antenna body, a first feeding line connected to the antenna body, and a second feeding line including a phase delay device connected to the antenna body; a first wireless transceiver connected to the first antenna to provide a communication signal to the first antenna through the first feeding line or the second feeding line; and a controller. The controller is configured to control the first wireless transceiver to provide a communication signal to the first antenna through the first feeding line in a first communication mode, control the first wireless transceiver to provide a communication signal to the first antenna through the first feeding line and the second feeding line in a second communication mode, and switch to the second communication mode if the vehicle approaches a toll booth while operating in the first communication mode.

Communication apparatus, vehicle, and control method thereof

A vehicle infotainment apparatus may include an antenna configured to receive a FM broadcast signal; an RF front end configured to modulate and demodulate the FM broadcast signal; and a controller configured to determine a type of content being broadcast by processing the FM broadcast signal, determine a reference level for switching a sound mode based on the determined type of the content, determine the sound mode based on the reference level and the level of the FM broadcast signal, and control the RF front end to modulate and demodulate the FM broadcast signal based on the determined sound mode.
