1. An in-vehicle apparatus, comprising:
a display disposed in a vehicle;
a first communication interface that connects to a first data input device over a first communication channel, the first communication channel including a gateway apparatus;
a second communication interface that connects to a second device over a second communication channel that provides content data of an application installed in the second device to the in-vehicle apparatus from the second device, the first communication channel having a different communication protocol than the second communication channel, and the second communication channel excluding the gateway apparatus, wherein the second device is a smart phone or a mobile music player; and
circuitry configured to
provide, via the first communication channel, command information from the first data input device to control an application operation mode,
in response to receiving command information from the first data input device, provide control information over the second communication channel that controls an operation of the application operation mode of the second device for playing the application in the vehicle,
set equalization parameters for the in-vehicle apparatus based on the command information from the first data input device, and
in response to a failure of control while in the application operation mode of the second device, provide a notification of the failure, and
display, on the display, information related to the application installed in the second device.
