Method and system for providing audio signals to an in-vehicle infotainment system

A system comprising:

• an in-vehicle infotainment system;
• a mobile device coupled to the in-vehicle infotainment system, the mobile device comprising a first audio player and a second audio player, the mobile device receiving an audio-video signal through a network from a first source;
• the first audio player playing a first audio signal from the audio-video signal;
• the mobile device receiving a second signal;
• the second audio player receiving a second audio signal based on the second signal and playing the second audio signal;
• the mobile device communicating the first audio signal to the in-vehicle infotainment system;
• the mobile device receiving a trigger for triggering playback of the second audio signal, said trigger being received from a secondary source;
• and
• the in-vehicle infotainment system displaying the first audio signal and in response to the trigger, combining and simultaneously displaying the first audio signal and the second audio signal.

A method comprising:

• communicating an audio-video signal to a mobile device through a network from a first source;
• playing a first audio signal within the mobile device with a first audio player;
• receiving a second signal at the mobile device;
• generating a second audio signal based on the second signal at a second audio player;
• playing the second audio signal within the mobile device with the second audio player in response to a trigger received at the mobile device, said trigger being received from a secondary source;
• and
• communicating the first audio signal and the second audio signal to an in-vehicle infotainment system from the mobile device so that the first audio signal and the second audio signal are combined after receiving the trigger and after starting to display the first audio signal, and the first audio signal and the second audio signal are displayed simultaneously through the in-vehicle infotainment system.
