# init(profileNumber:profileName:isDefaultProfile:carName:)

Initializes the intent object with the specified profile name and index information.

## Declaration

```swift
convenience init(profileNumber: Int? = nil, profileName: String? = nil, isDefaultProfile: Bool? = nil, carName: INSpeakableString? = nil)
```

## Parameters

- `profileNumber`: An integer number that indicates which profile to use. This value represents the index of the profile in your system. The index can be a soft index inside your vehicle’s electronics systems or it can correspond to physical buttons that the user presses.
- `profileName`: The name of the profile. Specify nil when creating a profile based on a numerical index.
- `isDefaultProfile`: A Boolean value that indicates whether the profile should become the default profile.
- `carName`: The name of the car associated with the profile.

## Return Value

Return Value An initialized intent object or nil if the object could not be created.

## Discussion

Discussion Normally, you don’t create instances of this class yourself. Instead, Siri creates instances when the user asks to restore settings from a profile. However, you can use this method during testing to create intent objects in order to validate your intent handling code paths.
