Patent ID: 8359416

Claim:
An interface comprising: a port; a port control module that detects whether a remote device communicating with said port is one of a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device and a satellite digital transceiver (DT) device and that selectively generates one of a USB configure signal and a satellite DT configure signal; a satellite DT analog transceiver; a car kit analog transceiver; and a USB on-the-go (OTG) analog transceiver, wherein said port control module selectively configures the interface by selecting one of said satellite DT analog transceiver, said car kit analog transceiver, and said USB OTG analog transceiver, wherein said port control module initially defaults to at least one of said satellite DT analog transceiver, said car kit analog transceiver, and said USB OTG analog transceiver, and wherein said port control module determines that said satellite DT device is present by transmitting a command to said satellite DT device and determining whether a response has been received within a predetermined period.
