Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for allowing an occupant to store and/or purchase broadcasted media content in a vehicle. SOLUTION: The method includes steps of: (S310) receiving and processing the media content from the broadcast source; (S320) temporarily storing the media content on a short-term memory storage disposed within the vehicle, while the media content is being received by a receiver in the vehicle; (S330), in response to a user input, causing a transmitter in the vehicle to transmit a purchase signal to a telematics system; and (S340) receiving a key to the media content, to thereby cause the storage device to store the media content onto a long-term memory storage inside the vehicle.
