Overview

The Vehicle Interface Overview provides a logical view of what the Vehicle Interface is and how to read the specifications.

Version Information

Describes the API specification revisions and the API change process.

Common Interface

The Common Interfaces encapsulate behaviors that FCA requires for our apps but are not supported by Android™. These interfaces will be implemented by all of the R1 HU suppliers allowing apps to run on any of our R1 Android™ platforms.

To use these interface in your code you will need to implement a loader which will dynamically load the manager that is associated with an interface at runtime. The code for the loader can be found on the Loader page.

Specifications

The Uconnect® API provide an interface layer between the applications running in the radio and radio feature such as the media player as well as vehicle information retrieved from CAN. More information about the vehicle interface can be found at Vehicle Interface Architecture

The current specifications for the R1 platform have been released as Uconnect Kona API. These API releases only define the behaviors expected from the R1 Android™ platform to support Uconnect Connectivity features and do not specify a physical interface specification.

With each interface specification there is a change log showing all changes made to the interface and a version overview showing which interfaces changed in each specification version.

To download prior versions of the specification see the API Versions section on the Revision Information page.
