`Each BMW multimedia device integration system includes, among other things, an integration subsystem for
`communicating audio/video from portable devices via the Bluetooth connection to the car audio/video system. The
`integration subsystem, which comprises at least the hardware shown below and the necessary software/firmware stored
`or executed thereon, including at least a Bluetooth module, microcontroller, and memory modules such as flash memory
`modules, is in communication with the car audio/video system. The integration subsystem channels audio signals to the
`car audio/video system from a portable device (such as an iPod, iPhone or other smart device).
`
`The specific location of the claimed “integration subsystem” will be ascertainable upon receipt of discovery from BMW,
`including but not limited to the inspection of source code. Upon information and belief, each BMW integration subsystem
`is in communication with a car audio/video system.
`
`For example, the claimed integration subsystem may be located in the “Combox” (or may be the entire “Combox”) or
`other similar component, in the Head Unit (or may be the entire Head Unit), and/or a combination of components in
`either/or the Combox and the Head Unit, or may be located in the iPod interface kit depending upon the particular

`Each of the accused BMW infotainment systems includes an integration subsystem that generates a device presence signal
`that “maintain[s] the car audio/video system in a state responsive to the portable device.” Specifically, when a portable
`device is paired via Bluetooth, a Bluetooth graphic appears indicating that a compatible device is connected and
`recognized. Once a compatible portable device is connected and recognized, the integration subsystem maintains the car
`audio/video system in a state responsive to processed data and audio signals from the portable device.
`
`The device presence signal is generated when at least the microcontroller of the integration subsystem [see support for
`element 49[A]] (and potentially other microcontrollers on one or more circuit boards of the device integration system)
`executes pre-programmed code stored in onboard flash and/or other memory modules, and/or within firmware elsewhere
`in the interface (such as within the microcontroller itself) in response to its receipt from the first wireless interface of a
`signal indicating that a portable device has established a connection via Bluetooth.
