Based on CSR's BlueCore5-Multimedia silicon, RoadTunes is a low power, fully interoperable design with a powerful RISC and DSP processor. The design incorporates both CSR Clear Voice Capture (CVC) and third party echo cancellation technologies. BlueCore5-Multimedia also features Bluetooth v2.1 for simple pairing and best in class audio CODEC with a signal to noise ratio of -95dB.
CSR has designed RoadTunes to allow OEMs to integrate Bluetooth connectivity quickly, enabling a faster time to market with an easy Plug-In concept. Incorporating Bluetooth Embedded Control Interface (BECI) guidelines, RoadTunes allows for easy integration via a simple interface/API. With almost no host MIPS required, RoadTunes takes the stress out of incorporating wireless connectivity in embedded and aftermarket automotive devices. The average time to integrate RoadTunes on a device is less than six weeks and does not require prior in-depth Bluetooth experience.
RoadTunes allows the simultaneous pairing of up to eight Bluetooth devices, and controls safely a vast array of functions through numerous voice prompts. As it also offers multiple profile support (including A2DP, AVRCP, HFP, PBAP, DUN and SPP), devices designed around RoadTunes can offer full Bluetooth connectivity including simultaneous audio, remote control of devices and handsfree operation.
