Specification

1. An instrument cluster (200) for a vehicle, said instrument cluster (200)
comprising:
a master microcontroller (303) powered by a power source (301), said
power source (301) regulated by a power regulator module (302);
one or more input sources (311,320) to provide one or more input to said
master microcontroller (303) through a signal conditioning circuit (305);
and
one or more output sources (315,320, 308, 309, 232, 306) to receive one or
more output from said master microcontroller (303);
wherein
said master microcontroller (303) configured to at least two wireless
modules.
2. The instrument cluster (200) as claimed in claim 1, wherein said at least two wireless modules are a primary wireless module (304) and a secondary wireless module (318).
3. The instrument cluster (200) as claimed in claim 1 to 2, wherein said master microcontroller (303) configures primary wireless module (304) with said secondary wireless module (318).
4. The instrument cluster (200) as claimed in claim 1 to 2, wherein said primary wireless module (304) is connected to said master microcontroller (303) through a bidirectional data bus.
5. The instrument cluster (200) as claimed in claim 1 to 2, wherein said primary wireless module (304) establishes connection with a communication device (312) through said secondary wireless module (318).
6. The instrument cluster (200) as claimed in claim 1 to 5, wherein said secondary wireless module (318) is provided in said communication device (312).

7. The instrument cluster (200) as claimed in claim 1, wherein said one or more input sources are control switches, a speed sensor, a TCI sensor, a fuel sensor, an odometer or an interactive display (320).
8. The instrument cluster (200) as claimed in claim 1, wherein said one or more output sources are a plurality of tell-tales (308), an LCD segment (309), an alpha numeric display (232) and an interactive display (320).
9. A method for interacting an instrumental cluster (200) with a communication device (312), said method comprising:
switching an ignition key ON;
pairing a primary wireless module (304) with a secondary wireless
module (318);
receiving input from one or more input sources;
sending input from said one or more input sources to a signal
conditioning circuit (305);
sending one or more signal from said signal conditioning circuit (305)
to a master microcontroller (303);
selecting one or more output by said master microcontroller (303);
displaying said one or more output on one or more output sources; and
sending the output to said communication device (312).
10. A method for interacting an instrument cluster (200) with a map providing
server (314), said method comprising:
switching an ignition key ON;
pairing a primary wireless module (304) with a secondary wireless
module (318);
receiving navigation information from said map providing server (314)
to a customized application (322);
sending navigation information to a master microcontroller (303);
sending one or more output from a communication device (312) to said
master microcontroller (303); and
displaying said one or more output on said one or more output sources
(315,320, 308, 309, 232, 306).

11. The method for interacting of an instrumental cluster (200) with a map providing server (314) claimed in claim 10, wherein said customized application (322) is stored in said communication device (312).
12. A method for authenticating an instrument cluster (200) of a vehicle (100), said method comprising:
initiating pairing by a master microcontroller (303) embedded inside the instrument cluster (200) with at least one communication device (312);
enabling a primary wireless module (304) by said master microcontroller (303);
enabling a secondary wireless module (318) at least by a user of said vehicle (100);
scanning by said secondary wireless module (318) for available Bluetooth® enabled devices in vicinity of said secondary wireless module (318); and
assigning at least one unique key for connecting the primary wireless module (304) with the secondary wireless module (318);
said master microcontroller (303) is configured to interchangeably function as a master system, when sending output to one or more output sources including said communication device (312), and said master microcontroller (303) is configured to interchangeably function as a slave system, when said communication device (312) instructs said master microcontroller (303) and said instrument cluster (200) to display content of said communication device (312).
