What does 'source' mean on a car?
1 Answers
The 'source' on a car refers to switching functions. It is the audio source toggle button on the central console that allows switching between different playback sources. The source button can toggle between radio, CD, and DVD modes. When applied in automotive contexts, 'source' indicates a switchable input/output system for various audio sources. The source can be freely toggled through either software or hardware controls, such as physical buttons or touch-sensitive buttons, enabling seamless switching between different audio sources. This feature is implemented in vehicle audio systems to allow flexible switching between various media sources like TV audio, radio (AM/FM), or external media loaded via USB, MMC, SD card interfaces through internal hardware or ports.
