Supported system properties

This page lists the supported system properties in the VHAL. Properties supported by the VHAL must either be a system property from the list below or a vendor property. In Android 14 and higher, property definitions are defined at hardware/interfaces/automotive/vehicle/aidl_property/android/hardware/automotive/vehicle/VehicleProperty.aidl.

The property definition is defined in AIDL interface, android.hardware.automotive.vehicle.property, which is separate from the VHAL interface (android.hardware.automotive.vehicle). VHAL implementations and VHAL clients must depend on both interfaces.

Auto-generated access modes and change modes

In Android 14 and higher, to support VHAL implementations, we provide auto-generated C++ header files and Java class files with the allowed change mode or access mode for system properties. Vendor VHAL implementations can use these to ensure the property configs meet the specification.

A to D

ADAPTIVE_CRUISE_CONTROL_LEAD_VEHICLE_MEASURED_DISTANCE

Measured distance from leading vehicle when using Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) or Predictive Cruise Control (PCC). Returns the measured distance in millimeters between the rear-most point of the leading vehicle and the front-most point of the ACC vehicle. The maxInt32Value and minInt32Value in VehicleAreaConfig must be defined. The minInt32Value should be 0. The maxInt32Value should be populated with the maximum range the distance sensor can support. This value should be non-negative.

When no lead vehicle is detected (that is, when there is no leading vehicle or the leading vehicle is too far away for the sensor to detect), this property should return StatusCode.NOT_AVAILABLE

When this property is not available because CC is disabled (for example, StatusCode#NOT_AVAILABLE_DISABLED is false), this property must return StatusCode#NOT_AVAILABLE_DISABLED If CRUISE_CONTROL_STATE is implemented and the state is set to an ErrorState value, then this property must return a StatusCode that aligns with the ErrorState value. For example, if CRUISE_CONTROL_STATE is set to ErrorState#NOT_AVAILABLE_SPEED_LOW, then this property must return StatusCode#NOT_AVAILABLE_SPEED_LOW

Enum type: N/A
Unit type: VehicleUnit:MILLIMETER

ADAPTIVE_CRUISE_CONTROL_TARGET_TIME_GAP

Current target time gap for ACC or PCC in milliseconds. This property should specify the target time gap to a leading vehicle. This gap is defined as the time to travel the distance between the leading vehicle's rear-most point to the ACC vehicle's front-most point. The actual time gap from a leading vehicle can be above or below this value.

The possible values to set for the target time gap should be specified in configArray in ascending order. All values must be positive. If the property is writable, all values must be writable. When this property is not available because CC is disabled (for example, CRUISE_CONTROL_ENABLED is false), this property must return StatusCode#NOT_AVAILABLE_DISABLED

If CRUISE_CONTROL_STATE is implemented and the state is set to an ErrorState value, then this property must return a StatusCode that aligns with the ErrorState value. For example, if CRUISE_CONTROL_STATE is set to ErrorState#NOT_AVAILABLE_SPEED_LOW, then this property must return StatusCode#NOT_AVAILABLE_SPEED_LOW

This property is defined as VehiclePropertyAccess.READ_WRITE, but OEMs can implement it as VehiclePropertyAccess.READ only.

ANDROID_EPOCH_TIME

Current date and time, encoded as Epoch time (in milliseconds). This value denotes the number of milliseconds seconds that have elapsed since 1/1/1970 UTC.

This value denotes the number of milliseconds seconds that have elapsed since 1/1/1970 UTC. CarServices WRITEs to this value to give VHAL the Android system's time, if the VHAL supports this property. This can be useful to synchronize other vehicle systems (dash clock) with Android's time.

AAOS WRITEs to this property once during boot, and thereafter WRITE only when time-source changes are propagated. AAOS will fill in VehiclePropValue.timestamp correctly. AAOS does not send updates for natural elapse of time. int64Values[0] = provided Unix time (in milliseconds).

The property may take more than 0 ms to get propagated through the stack and, having a timestamped property helps reduce any time drift. So, for all WRITEs to the property, the timestamp can be used to negate this drift:

drift = elapsedTime - PropValue.timestamp effectiveTime = PropValue.value.int64Values[0] + drift

CREATE_USER

Called by the Android System after an Android user was created. The HAL can use this property to create its equivalent user. This is an async request: Android makes the request by setting a VehiclePropValue, and HAL must respond with a property change indicating whether the request succeeded or failed. If it failed, the Android system removes the user.

The format of the request is defined by CreateUserRequest and the format of the response by CreateUserResponse. For example, if system had two users (0 and 10) and a third one (which is an ephemeral guest) was created, the request would be:

• int32[0] 42 // request id
• int32[1] 11 // Android id of the created user
• int32[2] 6 // Android flags (ephemeral guest) of the created user
• int32[3] 10 // current user
• int32[4] 0 // current user flags (none)
• int32[5] 3 // number of users
• int32[6] 0 // first user (user 0)
• int32[7] 0 // first user flags (none)
• int32[8] 10 // second user (user 10)
• int32[9] 0 // second user flags (none)
• int32[10] 11 // third user (user 11)
• int32[11] 6 // third user flags (ephemeral guest) string: "ElGuesto" // name of the new user

If the request succeeded, the HAL returns:

• int32[0] 42 // request id
• int32[1] 1 // CreateUserStatus::SUCCESS

But if it fails:

• int32[0] 42 // request id
• int32[1] 2 // CreateUserStatus::FAILURE string: "D'OH!" //

The meaning is a blackbox and is passed to the caller (such as the Settings UI), which takes the proper action.

EXTERNAL_CAR_TIME

Current date and time suggestion for the cr, encoded as Epoch time (in milliseconds). This value denotes the number of milliseconds seconds that have elapsed since 1/1/1970 UTC. This property signals a change in CarTime to Android. If the property is supported, VHAL must report the most accurate current CarTime when this property is read, and publish a change to this property when the CarTime value has changed.

An on-change event for this property must be published when CarTime changes for any reason other than the natural elapse of time (time delta smaller than 500ms should not trigger an on change event). Android will read and subscribe to this property to fetch time from VHAL. This can be useful to synchronize Android's time with other vehicle systems (dash clock). int64Values[0] = provided Epoch time (in milliseconds) Whenever a new Value for the property is received, AAOS creates and sends an ExternalTimeSuggestion to the TimeDetectorService.

If other sources do not have a higher priority, Android will use this to set the system time. For information on how to adjust time source priorities and how time suggestions are handled (including how Android handles gitter, drift, and minimum resolution), see the Time Detector Service documentation.

drift = elapsedTime - PropValue.timestamp effectiveTime = PropValue.value.int64Values[0] + drift

We strongly recommend that this propertynot be used to retrieve time from ECUs using protocols (such as GNSS, NTP, and Telephony). Since these protocols are already supported by Android, we recommend you use Android systems instead of wiring through the VHAL with this property.

If HVAC_TEMPERATURE_SET is mapped to AreaIDs[a_1, a_2, ..., a_n] and if HVAC_DUAL_ON can be enabled to couple a_i and a_j, then HVAC_DUAL_ON property must be mapped to [a_i | a_j]. Further, if a_k and a_l can also be coupled together separately, then HVAC_DUAL_ON must be mapped to [a_i | a_j, a_k | a_l]. For example, a car has two front seats (ROW_1_LEFT and ROW_1_RIGHT) and three back seats (ROW_2_LEFT, ROW_2_CENTER, and ROW_2_RIGHT). There are two temperature control units, driver side and passenger side, which can be optionally synchronized. This can be expressed this way in the AreaIDs:

HVAC_TEMPERATURE_SET > [ROW_1_LEFT | ROW_2_LEFT, ROW_1_RIGHT | ROW_2_CENTER | ROW_2_RIGHT]
HVAC_DUAL_ON > [ROW_1_LEFT | ROW_2_LEFT | ROW_1_RIGHT | ROW_2_CENTER | ROW_2_RIGHT]

When the property is enabled, the ECU must synchronize the temperature for the affected areas. Any parameters modified as a side effect of turning on or off the DUAL_ON parameter shall generate onPropertyEvent() callbacks to the VHAL. In addition, if setting a temperature (for example, driver temperature) changes another temperature (such as front passenger temperature), then the appropriate onPropertyEvent() callbacks must be generated.

If a user changes a temperature that breaks the coupling (for example, sets passenger temperature independently), then the VHAL must send the appropriate onPropertyEvent() callbacks (including HVAC_DUAL_ON = false and HVAC_TEMPERATURE_SET[AreaID] = xxx).

HVAC_TEMPERATURE_SET

HVAC target temperature set in Celsius.

The minFloatValue and maxFloatValue in VehicleAreaConfig must be defined:

• minFloatValue minimum temperature setting in Celsius.
• maxFloatValue maximum temperature setting in Celsius.

If all the values between minFloatValue and maxFloatValue are not supported, use the configArray to list the valid temperature values that can be set. This also describes a lookup table to convert the temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit (and vice versa) for the vehicle. The configArray must be defined if standard unit conversion is not supported on the vehicle.

The configArray is set as follows:

• configArray[0] [lower bound of supported temperature in Celsius] * 10
• configArray[1] [upper bound of supported temperature in Celsius] * 10
• configArray[2] [increment in Celsius] * 10
• configArray[3] [lower bound of the supported temperature in Fahrenheit] * 10
• configArray[4] [upper bound of the supported temperature in Fahrenheit] * 10
• configArray[5] [increment in Fahrenheit] * 10

The minFloatValue and maxFloatValue in VehicleAreaConfig must be equal to configArray[0] and configArray[1] respectively. For example, if the vehicle supports temperature values as [16.0, 16.5, 17.0 ,..., 28.0] in Celsius [60.5, 61.5, 62.5 ,..., 84.5] in Fahrenheit, the configArray should be configArray = {160, 280, 5, 605, 845, 10}

Ideally, the ratio of the Celsius increment to the Fahrenheit increment should be as close to the actual ratio of 1 degree Celsius to 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit. There must be a one-to-one mapping of all Celsius values to Fahrenheit values defined by the configArray The configArray is used by clients to convert this property's temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit. Also, it lets clients know what Celsius value to set the property to achieve their desired Fahreneheit value for the system. If the ECU does not have a one-to-one mapping of all Celsius values to Fahrenheit values, then the configArray should only define the list of Celsius and Fahrenheit values that have a one-to-one mapping.

For example, if the ECU supports Celsius values from 16 to 28 and Fahrenheit values from 60 to 85, each with an increment of 1, then one possible configArray is code>{160, 280, 10, 600, 840, 20}In this case, 85 is not a supported temperature.

Any value set in between a valid value should be rounded to the closest valid value. We highly recommended that the OEM also implement the HVAC_TEMPERATURE_VALUE_SUGGESTION vehicle property because it provides applications with a simple method for determining temperature values that can be set for a vehicle and for converting values between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

HVAC_TEMPERATURE_VALUE_SUGGESTION

Suggested values for setting HVAC temperature.

Implement the property to help applications understand the closest supported temperature value in Celsius or Fahrenheit.

• floatValues[0] Requested value that an app wants to set a temperature to.
• floatValues[1] Unit for floatValues[0] and should be one of {VehicleUnit.CELSIUS, VehicleUnit.FAHRENHEIT}
• floatValues[2] Value OEMs suggested in CELSIUS (this value is not included in the request).
• floatValues[3] Value OEMs suggested in FAHRENHEIT (this value is not included in the request).

An application calls set(VehiclePropValue propValue) with the requested value and unit for the value. OEMs need to return the suggested values in floatValues[2] and floatValues[3] by onPropertyEvent() callbacks. The suggested values must conform to the values that can be derived from the HVAC_TEMPERATURE_SET configArray In other words, the suggested values and the table of values from the configArray should be the same.

We recommended that the OEM add custom logic in their VHAL implementation to avoid making requests to the HVAC ECU. The logic can be as follows. To convert temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit:

// Given tempC and the configArray float minTempC = configArray[0] / 10.0; float temperatureIncrementCelsius = configArray[2] / 10.0; float minTempF = configArray[3] / 10.0; float temperatureIncrementFahrenheit = configArray[5] / 10.0; // Round to the closest increment int numIncrements = round((tempC - minTempC) / temperatureIncrementCelsius); tempF = temperatureIncrementFahrenheit * numIncrements + minTempF;

For example, when a driver uses the voice assistant to set HVAC temperature to 66.2 in Fahrenheit. First, an application sets this property with the value [66.2, (float)VehicleUnit.FAHRENHEIT,0,0] If an OEM suggests to set 19.0 in Celsius or 66.5 in Fahrenheit at the user's request, then VHAL must generate a callback with a property value [66.2, (float)VehicleUnit.FAHRENHEIT, 19.0, 66.5] After the voice assistant gets the callback, it informs the user and sets the HVAC temperature to the suggested value.

Another example, an app receives 21 Celsius as the current temperature value by querying HVC_TEMPERATURE_SET but the app needs to know what value is displayed on the car's UI in Fahrenheit. For this, the app sets the property to [21, (float)VehicleUnit.CELSIUS, 0, 0] If the suggested value by the OEM for 21 Celsius is 70 Fahrenheit, then VHAL must generate a callback with property value [21, (float)VehicleUnit.CELSIUS, 21.0, 70.0] In this case, the app can know that the value is 70.0 Fahrenheit in the car's UI.

OBD2_LIVE_FRAME

Reports a snapshot of the current (live) values of the OBD2 sensors available. The configArray is set as follows:

• configArray[0] Number of vendor-specific integer-valued sensors
• configArray[1] Number of vendor-specific float-valued sensors

The values of this property are to be interpreted as in the following example. Considering a configArray = {2,3} int32Values must be a vector containing Obd2IntegerSensorIndex.LAST_SYSTEM_INDEX plus two elements (or, 33 elements). floatValues must be a vector containing Obd2FloatSensorIndex.LAST_SYSTEM_INDEX plus three elements (or, 73 elements).

It is possible for each frame to contain a different subset of sensor values, both system provided sensors, and vendor-specific ones. In order to support this, the bytes element of the property value is used as a bitmask. Bytes must have a sufficient number of bytes to represent the total number of possible sensors (in this case, 14 bytes to represent 106 possible values). It'is to be read as a contiguous bitmask such that each bit indicates the presence or absence of a sensor from the frame, starting with as many bits as the size of int32Values, immediately followed by as many bits as the size of floatValues.

For example, should bytes[0] = 0x4C (0b01001100) it means that:

• int32Values[0 and 1] are not valid sensor values
• int32Values[2 and 3] are valid sensor values
• int32Values[4 and 5] are not valid sensor values
• int32Values[6] is a valid sensor value
• int32Values[7] is not a valid sensor value
• int32Values[0 and 1] are not valid sensor values
• int32Values[2 and 3] are valid sensor values
• int32Values[4 and 5] are not valid sensor values
• int32Values[6] is a valid sensor value
• int32Values[7] is not a valid sensor value

If bytes[5] = 0x61 (0b01100001), then:

• int32Values[32] is a valid sensor value
• floatValues[0 thru 3] are invalid sensor values
• floatValues[4 and 5] are valid sensor values
• floatValues[6] is not a valid sensor value.

SHUTDOWN_REQUEST

Request the head unit to be shu down.

This is required for executing a task when the head unit is powered off (remote task feature). After the head unit is powered-on to execute the task, the head unit should be shut down. The head unit sends this message once the task is finished.

This property doesn't apply when a user wants to shut down the head unit.

This usually involves telling a separate system outside the head unit (for instance a power controller) to prepare to shut down the head unit.

The external system must validate that this request is valid by checking if the vehicle is in use. If a user enters the vehicle after a SHUTDOWN_REQUEST is sent, then the system must ignore this request. It is recommended to store a VehicleInUse property in the power controller and exposes it through VEHICLE_IN_USE property. A shutdown request must be ignored if VehicleInUse is true.

If allowed, the external system sends a shutdown signal to the head unit, which causes VHAL to send SHUTDOWN_PREPARE message to Android. Android will then start the shut down process by handling the message.

This property is only for issuing a request and only supports writing. Every time this property value is set, the request to shutdown is issued no matter what the current property value is. The current property value is meaningless.

Since this property is write-only, subscribing is not allowed and no property change event is generated.

The value to set indicates the shutdown option, it must be one of {@code VehicleApPowerStateShutdownParam} For example, VehicleApPowerStateShutdownParam.SLEEP_IMMEDIATELY. This shutdown option might not be honored if the system doesn't support such option. In such a case, an error is not returned.

For configuration information, VehiclePropConfig.configArray must have bit flag combining values in {@code VehicleApPowerStateConfigFlag} to indicate which shutdown options are supported.

Returns error if failed to send the shutdown request to the other system.

SWITCH_USER

Defines a request to switch the foreground Android user.

This property is used primarily by the Android system to inform the HAL that the current foreground Android user is switching, but it could also be used by the HAL to request the Android system to switch users. When the request is made by Android, it sets a VehiclePropValue and the HAL must respond with a property change event. When the HAL makes the request, it must also do it through a property change event (the main difference is that the request id is positive in the former case, and negative in the latter). The SwitchUserMessageType also differs.

• LEGACY_ANDROID_SWITCH Called by the Android system to indicate the Android user is about to change, when the change request was made in a way that is not integrated with the HAL (for example, through adb shell am switch-user). The HAL can switch its internal user once it receives this request, but it doesn't need to reply back to the Android system. If its internal user cannot be changed for some reason, then it must wait for the SWITCH_USER(type=ANDROID_POST_SWITCH) call to recover (for example, it could issue a SWITCH_USER(type=VEHICLE_REQUEST) to switch back to the previous user). Ideally it should never fail (as switching back could confuse the end user).
  For example, if the system have users (0, 10, 11) and it's switching from 0 to 11 (where none of them have any special flag), the request would be:
  
  • int32[0] 42 // request id
  • int32[1] 1 // SwitchUserMessageType::LEGACY_ANDROID_SWITCH
  • int32[2] 11 // target user id
  • int32[3] 0 // target user flags (none)
  • int32[4] 10 // current user
  • int32[5] 0 // current user flags (none)
  • int32[6] 3 // number of users
  • int32[7] 0 // user #0 (Android user id 0)
  • int32[8] 0 // flags of user #0 (none)
  • int32[9] 10 // user #1 (Android user id 10)
  • int32[10] 0 // flags of user #1 (none)
  • int32[11] 11 // user #2 (Android user id 11)
  • int32[12] 0 // flags of user #2 (none)
• ANDROID_SWITCH Called by the Android system to indicate the Android user is about to change, but Android waits for the HAL's response (up to some time) before proceeding. The HAL must switch its internal user once it receives this request, then respond back to Android with a SWITCH_USER(type=VEHICLE_RESPONSE) indicating whether its internal user was switched or not (through the SwitchUserStatus enum). For example, if Android has users (0, 10, 11) and it's switching from 10 to 11 (where none of them have any special flag), the request would be:
  • int32[0] 42 // request id
  • int32[1] 2 // SwitchUserMessageType::ANDROID_SWITCH
  • int32[2] 11 // target user id
  • int32[3] 0 // target user flags (none)
  • int32[4] 10 // current user
  • int32[5] 0 // current user flags (none)
  • int32[6] 3 // number of users
  • int32[7] 0 // first user (user 0)
  • int32[8] 1 // first user flags (SYSTEM)
  • int32[9] 10 // second user (user 10)
  • int32[10] 0 // second user flags (none)
  • int32[11] 11 // 3rd user (user 11)
  • int32[12] 0 // 3rd user flags (none)

  If the request succeeds, the HAL must update the property with:

  • int32[0] 42 // request id
  • int32[1] 3 // messageType: SwitchUserMessageType::VEHICLE_RESPONSE
  • int32[2] 1 // status: SwitchUserStatus::SUCCESS

  If the request fails, the response would be something like:

  • int32[0] 42 // request id
  • int32[1] 3 // messageType: SwitchUserMessageType::VEHICLE_RESPONSE
  • int32[2] 2 // status: SwitchUserStatus::FAILURE string: "108-D'OH!"
  • OEM-specific error message
• VEHICLE_RESPONSE Called by the HAL to indicate whether a request of type ANDROID_SWITCH should proceed or abort. See also ANDROID_SWITCH.
• VEHICLE_REQUEST Called by the HAL to request that the current foreground Android user is switched. This is useful in situations where Android started as one user, but the vehicle identified the driver as another user. For example, user A unlocked the car using the key fob of user B. The INITIAL_USER_INFO request returned user B, but then a face recognition subsubsystem identified the user as A. The HAL makes this request by a property change event (passing a negative request id), and the Android system response is to issue an ANDROID_POST_SWITCH call which the same request id. For example, if the current foreground Android user is 10 and the HAL asked to switch to 11, the request would be:
  • int32[0] -108 // request id
  • int32[1] 4 // messageType: SwitchUserMessageType::VEHICLE_REQUEST
  • int32[2] 11 // Android user id

  If the request succeeded and Android has three users (0, 10, and 11), the response would be:

  • int32[0] -108 // request id
  • int32[1] 5 // messageType: SwitchUserMessageType::ANDROID_POST_SWITCH
  • int32[2] 11 // target user id
  • int32[3] 0 // target user id flags (none)
  • int32[4] 11 // current user
  • int32[5] 0 // current user flags (none)
  • int32[6] 3 // number of users
  • int32[7] 0 // first user (user 0)
  • int32[8] 0 // first user flags (none)
  • int32[9] 10 // second user (user 10)
  • int32[10] 4 // second user flags (none)
  • int32[11] 11 // third user (user 11)
  • int32[12] 3 // third user flags (none)

  The current and target user ids are the same. If the request fails, then they would differ. For example, the target user would be 11 and the current user would remain 10.

• ANDROID_POST_SWITCH Called by the Android system after a request to switch a user was made. This property is called after switch requests of any type (for example, >code>LEGACY_ANDROID_SWITCH, >code>ANDROID_SWITCH, or VEHICLE_REQUEST) and can be used to determine if the request succeeded or failed.
  • When it succeeds, it's called when the Android user is in the unlocked state and the value of the current and target users ids in the response are the same. This is equivalent to receiving an Intent.ACTION_USER_UNLOCKED in an Android app.
  • When it fails, it's called right away and the value of the current and target users ids in the response differ (since the current user didn't change to the target).
  • If a new switch request is made before the HAL responded to the previous one or before the user was unlocked, then the ANDROID_POST_SWITCH request is not made. For example, the driver might accidentally switch to the wrong user, which has lock credentials, and then switch to the correct user before entering the credentials.

  The HAL can update its internal state once it receives this request, but it needn't reply to the Android system.

  • Request. The first N values as defined by INITIAL_USER_INFO (where the request-specific value at index 1 is SwitchUserMessageType::ANDROID_POST_SWITCH), then two more values for the target user id (for example, the Android user id that was requested to be switched to) and its flags (as defined by UserFlags).
  • Response: none. For example, see VEHICLE_REQUEST

TIRE_PRESSURE

Tire pressure. Each tire is identified by its areaConfig.areaId config. The respective minFloatValue and maxFloatValue are used to store the OEM- recommended pressure range. Values for minFloatValue and maxFloatValue in VehicleAreaConfig must be defined.

The minFloatValue in the areaConfig data represents the lower bound of the recommended tire pressure. The maxFloatValue in the areaConfig data represents the upper bound of the recommended tire pressure. For example, this areaConfig indicates the recommended tire pressure of left_front tire as from 200.0kPa to 240.0kPa.

USER_IDENTIFICATION_ASSOCIATION

Property used to associate (or query the association) the current user with vehicle-specific identification mechanisms (such as key FOB).

This is an optional user management property. The OEM can still support user management without defining it. In fact, this property could be used without supporting the core user-related functions described on INITIAL_USER_INFO.

To query the association, the Android system gets the property, passing a VehiclePropValue containing the types of associations are being queried, as defined by UserIdentificationGetRequest. The HAL must return right away, returning a VehiclePropValue with a UserIdentificationResponse.

Notice that user identification took place while the system was booting up. takehe VHAL implementation should only return the already identified association (such as the key FOB used to unlock the car), instead of starting a new association from the get call.

To associate types, the Android system sets the property, passing a VehiclePropValue containing the types and values of associations being set, as defined by the UserIdentificationSetRequest.

The HAL then uses a property change event (whose VehiclePropValue is defined by UserIdentificationResponse) indicating the current status of the types after the request.

For example, to query if the current user (10) is associated with the FOB that unlocked the car and a custom mechanism provided by the OEM, the request is:

• int32[0] 42 // request id
• int32[1] 10 (Android user id)
• int32[2] 0 (Android user flags)
• int32[3] 2 (number of types queried)
• int32[4] 1 (first type queried, UserIdentificationAssociationType::KEY_FOB)
• int32[5] 101 (second type queried, UserIdentificationAssociationType::CUSTOM_1)

If the user is associated with the FOB but not with the custom mechanism, the response is:

• int32[0] 42 // request id
• int32[1] 2 (number of associations in the response)
• int32[2] 1 (first type: UserIdentificationAssociationType::KEY_FOB)
• int32[3] 2 (first value: UserIdentificationAssociationValue::ASSOCIATED_CURRENT_USER)
• int32[4] 101 (first type: UserIdentificationAssociationType::CUSTOM_1)
• int32[5] 4 (second value: UserIdentificationAssociationValue::NOT_ASSOCIATED_ANY_USER)

Then to associate the user with the custom mechanism, a set request is made:

• int32[0] 43 // request id
• int32[1] 10 (Android user id)
• int32[2] 0 (Android user flags)
• int32[3] 1 (number of associations being set)
• int32[4] 101 (first type: UserIdentificationAssociationType::CUSTOM_1)

If the request succeeded, the response would be:

• int32[0] 43 // request id
• int32[1] 1 (number of associations in the response)
• int32[2] 101 (first type: UserIdentificationAssociationType::CUSTOM_1)
• int32[3] 1 (first value: UserIdentificationAssociationValue::ASSOCIATED_CURRENT_USER)

The set request adds associations but doesn't remove the existing associations. In the previous example, the end state would be two associations (FOB and CUSTOM_1). To associate the user with just CUSTOM_1 but not FOB, then the request would have been:

• int32[0] 43 // request id
• int32[1] 10 (Android user id)
• int32[2] 2 (number of types set)
• int32[3] 1 (first type: UserIdentificationAssociationType::KEY_FOB)
• int32[4] 2 (first value: UserIdentificationAssociationValue::DISASSOCIATE_CURRENT_USER)
• int32[5] 101 (second type: UserIdentificationAssociationType::CUSTOM_1)
• int32[6] 1 (second value: UserIdentificationAssociationValue::ASSOCIATE_CURRENT_USER)

VEHICLE_IN_USE

Indicates if the vehicle is in use. In use means a human user is present and intendeds to use the vehicle. This doesn't necessarily mean the human user is in the vehicle. For example, if the human user unlocks the vehicle remotely, the vehicle is considered to be in use. If this property is supported:

• Each time the user powers on the vehicle or the system detects the user is present, VEHICLE_IN_USE must be set to true. Each time the user powers off the vehicle or the system detects the user is not present, VEHICLE_IN_USE must be set to false.
• If the user powers off the vehicle or the system detects the user is not present, VEHICLE_IN_USE must be set to false.
• If the user powers on the vehicle or the system detects the user is present, VEHICLE_IN_USE must be set to true.

This property differs from AP_POWER_BOOTUP_REASON in the sense that AP_POWER_BOOTUP_REASON is only set once during system boot. However, this property might change multiple times during a system boot cycle. For example, a device is currently not in use. The system bootup to execute a remote task. VEHICLE_IN_USE is false. While the remote task is executing, the user enters the vehicle and powers on the vehicle. VEHICLE_IN_USE is set to true. After a driving session, user powers off the vehicle, VEHICLE_IN_USE is set to false.

WHEEL_TICK

Reports wheel ticks. The first element in the vector is a reset count. A reset indicates previous tick counts are not comparable with this and future ones. Some sort of discontinuity in tick counting has occurred.

The next four elements represent ticks for individual wheels in the following order:

1. Front left
2. Front right
3. Rear right
4. Rear left

All tick counts are cumulative. Tick counts increment when the vehicle moves forward, and decrement when the vehicle moves backward. The ticks should be reset to 0 when the vehicle is started.

• int64Values[0] Reset count
• int64Values[1] Front left ticks
• int64Values[2] Front right ticks
• int64Values[3] Rear right ticks
• int64Values[4] Rear left ticks

configArray is used to indicate the micrometers-per-wheel-tick value and which wheels are supported configArray is set as follows:

configArray[0], bits [0:3] Supported wheels

Uses enum Wheel. For example, if all wheels are supported, then:

• configArray[0] VehicleAreaWheel::LEFT_FRONT | VehicleAreaWheel::RIGHT_FRONT | VehicleAreaWheel::LEFT_REAR | VehicleAreaWheel::RIGHT_REAR
• configArray[1] Micrometers per front left wheel tick
• configArray[2] Micrometers per front right wheel tick
• configArray[3] Micrometers per rear right wheel tick
• configArray[4] Micrometers per rear left wheel tick.

If a wheel is not supported, its value shall always be set to 0.

WINDOW_MOVE

Window move. The maxInt32Value and minInt32Value in each VehicleAreaConfig must be defined. All integers between minInt32Value and maxInt32Value must be supported. The maxInt32Value indicates the window is opening in plane/closing in the out of plane direction at the fastest speed. The minInt32Value indicates the window is closing in plane/opening in the out of plane direction at the fastest speed.

Larger absolute values, either positive or negative, indicate a faster movement speed. Once the window reaches the positional limit, the value must reset to 0. If the value of WINDOW_MOVE is 0, no movement is underway. This property is represented in a specified range of relative movement speeds.

For a window that may open out of plane (a vent mode of sunroof), this parameter works as follows. If:

• Sunroof is open:
  • Max Open the sunroof further, stop automatically when fully open.
  • Min Close the sunroof, stop automatically when sunroof is closed.
• Vent is open:
  • Max Close the vent, stop automatically stop when vent is closed.
  • Min Open the vent further, stop automatically when vent is fully open.
• Sunroof is closed:
  • Max Open the sunroof, stop automatically when sunroof is fully open.
  • Min Open the vent, stop automatically when vent is fully open.

WINDOW_POS

Window position. The maxInt32Value and minInt32Value in each VehicleAreaConfig must be defined. All integers between minInt32Value and maxInt32Value must be supported. The minInt32Value indicates the window is closed or fully open out of plane. If the window cannot open out of plane, then minInt32Value is the position of the window when fully closed and must be 0. If the window can open out of plane, the minInt32Value indicates the window is fully open in its position out of plane and is a negative value. See the example below for a more detailed explanation. The maxInt32Value indicates the window is fully open.

Values in between minInt32Value and maxInt32Value indicate a transition state between the closed/fully open out-of-plane and fully open positions. This property is not in any specific unit but in a specified range of relative positions. For example, this is how the property should work for a window that can move out of plane: For a window that may open out of plane (vent mode of sunroof) this parameter works with negative values as follows:

• Max Sunroof fully open (0 for sunroof closed).
• Min Sunroof vent fully open (0 for sunroof closed).
