Customize LED Ambient Lighting in Cars (NXP^® UJA1018)

http://www.nxp.com/pip/UJA1018TK Ambient LED lighting is becoming increasingly popular in the automotive industry, as car manufacturers use it to enhance the driving experience, differentiate their brand through the color and styling of interior lighting, and offer drivers options to customize "mood lighting." Whereas interior LED modules are currently programmed during the module manufacturing process, with NXP's new Node Position Detection method, based on an integrated LIN switch, all LED modules can be individually configured even after being mounted in the car. This offers new levels of flexibility while drastically reducing manufacturing logistics and costs. http://www.nxp.com/news/press-releases/2012/07/nxp-enables-cost-efficient-and-flexible-led-ambient-lighting-solutions-for-the-car.html
