Smart connect instrument cluster

An instrument cluster for a vehicle, comprising:

• a master microcontroller being powered by a power source regulated by a power regulator module;
• one or more input sources electrically configured to provide one or more inputs to the master microcontroller through a signal conditioning circuit;
• and
• one or more output sources configured to receive one or more outputs from the master microcontroller, wherein
• the master microcontroller is connected to at least two wireless modules,
• the master microcontroller is configured to provide instruction to a secondary wireless module of a communication device to display an output on the one or more output sources and the communication device, and
• the master microcontroller is configured to receive instruction from the secondary wireless module of the communication device to display the output on the one or more output sources.

A method for interacting an instrumental cluster with a communication device, the method comprising:

• switching an ignition key ON;
• pairing a primary wireless module with a secondary wireless module;
• receiving input from one or more input sources;
• sending input from the one or more input sources to a signal conditioning circuit;
• sending one or more signals from the signal conditioning circuit to a master microcontroller;
• selecting one or more outputs by the master microcontroller;
• displaying the one or more outputs on one or more output sources;
• and
• sending the outputs to the communication device.

A method for interacting an instrument cluster with a map providing server, the method comprising:

• switching an ignition key ON;
• pairing a primary wireless module with a secondary wireless module;
• receiving navigation information from the map providing server to a customized application;
• sending navigation information to a master microcontroller;
• sending one or more outputs from a communication device to the master microcontroller;
• and
• displaying the one or more outputs on one or more output sources.

A method for authenticating an instrument cluster of a vehicle, the method comprising:

• initiating pairing by a master microcontroller embedded inside the instrument cluster with at least one communication device;
• enabling a primary wireless module by the master microcontroller;
• enabling a secondary wireless module at least by a user of the vehicle;
• scanning by the secondary wireless module for available Bluetooth® enabled devices in vicinity of the secondary wireless module;
• and
• assigning at least one unique key for connecting the primary wireless module with the secondary wireless module, wherein
• the master microcontroller is configured to interchangeably function as a master system, when sending output to one or more output sources including the communication device, and
• the master microcontroller is configured to interchangeably function as a slave system, when the communication device instructs the master microcontroller and the instrument cluster to display content of the communication device.
