- the method comprising:
- in a cellular telephone, starting a re-programming app which is operable to present one or more display screens on a touch-screen of the cellular telephone for enabling the cellular telephone to re-program settings of controls for functions of the radio head unit;
- when a display screen is presented on the touch-screen, selecting a setting of a control for a selected function presented on the display screen for re-programming the setting of that control via the touch-screen, after which the re-programming app is operable to cause a new display screen to be presented on the touch-screen for performing re-programming of the setting of that control via the touch-screen,
- then, while the new display screen is being presented on the touch-screen, using the touch-screen to perform re-programming of that setting,
- and then using the touch-screen to save the re-programmed setting in the cellular telephone.
