In the drawings, the same reference numerals are used to designate the same or similar components throughout the drawings. In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear.

1 is a block diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of a radio apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, a radio device includes a storage medium 10 for storing data and an application program executable on a computer, one or more processors 20 for controlling execution of the application program, and a radio via an in-vehicle network. And a communication unit 30 for receiving vehicle information stored in a storage medium external to the device.

In addition, the radio device includes an antenna for receiving radio waves, a tuner tuned to a tuned channel, a player for reproducing sound source information recorded on various recording media (tape, CD, DAT), and an amplifier for amplifying the output sound source (preamp, main). Amplifier, equalizer), a speaker for outputting the amplified sound source, etc., but this is only a general configuration of a known radio device, and not related to the gist of the present invention, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The storage medium 10 is configured of a nonvolatile memory, and stores sound quality tuning data classified by types of vehicles and application programs used for controlling the radio device.

Here, the sound quality tuning data is composed of a plurality of data distinguished according to the type of vehicle or the year of production of the vehicle. For example, the sound quality tuning data for the sound quality characteristic suitable for the 'a' model is generated by dividing the data quality tuning data for the sound quality characteristic suitable for the 'a' model and the 'data 2'. In the case of sound quality tuning data, the sound quality tuning data may be divided according to the production year of the vehicle, and may be classified into 'DATA 1-1' and 'DATA 1-2'.
