An infotainment system to which data is transmitted including contact data, such as telephone numbers or addresses, or multimedia data, such as audio or video data. The origin of the transmitted data is a mobile terminal, download from a database, an NFC tag or a QR code. Following reception of the data on the infotainment system, the infotainment system checks whether the transmitted data is associated with one of the functions of the infotainment system, a navigation function, and/or a reproduction function for audio and/or video data. If the transmitted data is associated with on the functions of the infotainment system, the infotainment system offers those functions with which the data can be associated to a user of the transportation vehicle for use.

Methods and apparatuses for selecting a function of an infotainment system of a transportation vehicle

A mobile wireless communications device may include a near field communication (NFC) transceiver, a Bluetooth transceiver, and a controller coupled with the NFC transceiver and the Bluetooth transceiver. The controller may be configured to communicate with a first Bluetooth device via the Bluetooth transceiver using at least one Bluetooth profile supported by the first Bluetooth device, communicate with a second Bluetooth device via the NFC transceiver and determine if the at least one Bluetooth profile is also supported by the second Bluetooth device, and when the at least one Bluetooth profile is also supported by the second Bluetooth device, cease using the at least one Bluetooth profile with the first Bluetooth device and begin using the at least one Bluetooth profile with the second Bluetooth device.
