Delphi Confidential1 Weather Information Dissemination – Automotive Perspective July 25, 2007

2 Topics  Recent automotive weather information dissemination  Market data  Challenges and opportunities for in-vehicle implementation  R&D possibilities –Unique “mobile” surface applications for weather information

3 Automotive Weather Information Dissemination  Audio: Weather Radios  Equipped with NOAA 7- Channel National Weather Radio (NWR)  2 X 16 Dot Matrix Display

4 Automotive Weather Information Dissemination  Visual: Weather Map »Essential information concerning road and atmospheric conditions »Notifies the driver via audio and visual on navigation system »Challenge: Fewer than 20% of OEM vehicles will have navigation by 2010/11 (Source:TRG) »Growing interest with vehicle OEMs to display weather information in navigation systems  Weather Threat Matrix – Delphi Demonstration 2006 –Weather threats are delivered by XM satellite provider to vehicle

5 Future Interest in Mobile Electronics in Cars High and moderate interest in weather and security updates

6 High Interest In All Hazard Public Alert and Weather Radar in Vehicles *Voiced concerns with repeated, false and alarms not pertaining to location Source: Delphi Market Study Vehicle Infotainment Features March 2007

7 Background: Specific Area Message Encoding (SAME) for the NWR  SAME: A digital code sent with warnings  SAME includes: Type of event, applicable geographic for event, and how long event is valid: Tornado Warnings, Local emergencies, Evacuation  SAME offers user selectable county codes to ensure you only receive alerts for your area The Consumer Electronics Association CEA Public Alert radio logo appears on NWR products that meet CEA certification and technical standards July 1, 2007 Indiana regulation: Requires manufacturers to build mobile homes with the weather radios installed July 1, 2007 Indiana regulation: Requires manufacturers to build mobile homes with the weather radios installed

8 Challenges: Implementation of NWR with SAME in Vehicle Radio Systems  Mobile NWR systems may require GPS  Vehicle OEMs –Minimal awareness of the NWR SAME/Public Alert features –Coordination of feature with multiple radio suppliers »Major vehicle OEMs have 4 to 6 radio suppliers –Research, development, user interface, design, testing and validation »Potential timing

9 Mobile NWR with SAME Implementation Opportunities Toyota Ford GM Kia Commercial TruckVW Due to RDS, HD and Satellite Radio Displays are expanding for additional functionality Due to RDS, HD and Satellite Radio Displays are expanding for additional functionality

10 Mobile NWR with SAME Implementation Opportunities  Majority of vehicle OEM radios use similar radio tuner technology –Radio tuners are capable of NWR –Cost of adding the NWR is a small impact to radio cost Tuner DSP IC

11 Mobile NWR with SAME Implementation Opportunities  How to reach the public in a timely manner: –R&D and mobile standards need development –Regulatory standards considerations –Vehicle OEM awareness is needed Product Requirements Product Definition Product Development Performance In Market

12 Mobile NWR with SAME Summary  R&D possibilities for unique “mobile” surface applications for weather information –Automatic location based SAME code table versus strongest signal –SW and DSP algorithms for tuner –Geo Code Counties –GEO Code Weather Rader Polygon for map applications –Mobile standards  Consumer interest is high  Radio system is capable and affordable  Challenges –User Interface –Vehicle OEM awareness –R&D for mobile application
