Abstract

A mobile device software app facilitates a user's identification of a product suitable for various vehicle types and operating environments. The app configures a sensor in the device to sample ambient sound or light in the vicinity of the vehicle, calculates an intensity level value for the sample, compares the value to a list of specification intensity values corresponding to vehicle accessory products, and generates a list of products having intensity values greater than that of the sampled sound or light. The app optionally provides for user selection of a product and for viewing product literature. Users can also access detailed technical installation information, listen to sound samples, and locate product vendors.
