Title: Testing Voice-Controlled & Smartphone Integrated Infotainment Systems 

Presenter: Steve F. Temme, Listen, Inc – Boston, MA USA

Developing high performance audio
systems for vehicles requires
integration of numerous complex
electro-acoustic and electronic
components. Once the system is
defined and production begins,
component and vehicle production variance
can alter the expected performance. This
presentation will first review the current vehicle
audio system development and documentation
practices. This will include system
benchmarking, system level target setting,
component level design, the contributions from
the vehicle interior on audio quality, and
system level tuning approach. The second
part will be proposal for system level
specifications based on a reference system. A
procedure is introduced to address validation
methods and diagnostic procedures by
analysis of complex system data metrics. A
process for calibrating production vehicle
audio systems to match a reference system is
discussed.
