Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for a transportation vehicle. One method includes determining whether a connector receiver module is electrically connected to a connector of a media output device during a maintenance mode, measuring a load parameter at the connector receiver module in response to determining that the connector receiver module is electrically connected to the connector, the load parameter being associated with an electrical load at the connector receiver module, determining whether the load parameter is below a load threshold, and reporting a maintenance indicator indicating a location of the media playback device, the maintenance indicator being based on at least one of determining that the connector receiver module is electrically connected to the connector or determining that the load parameter is below the load threshold.
