Abstract
Example systems and methods for determining application availability are described. In one implementation, a vehicle entertainment system establishes a communication link with a mobile device near the vehicle. The vehicle entertainment system receives, from the mobile device, an identification of currently available applications on the mobile device. The vehicle entertainment system also updates an in-vehicle user interface to display the currently available applications on the mobile device to at least one occupant of the vehicle.
