This, on one hand, allows for providing more convenient and modern method by implement the Android technology This thesis involved the design process and the development process of the Android based software application and the hardware part and more focusing on the local manufactured vehicle in Malaysia. Finally, this thesis present a prototype of the implementation of a Versatile Drive Interface (VDI) in a vehicle model.
