STARTER OVERRIDES FOR TELEMATICS DEVICES AND CORRESPONDING METHODS

摘要

Exemplary embodiments are provided of telematics devices and exemplary corresponding methods. In an exemplary embodiment, a telematics device generally includes a controller and a location sensor coupled to the controller. The location sensor is configured to determine a location of the telematics device. The telematics device also includes a wireless communication module coupled to the controller. The wireless communication module is configured to transmit location information from the controller to a remote station and to receive commands from the remote station. The controller is adapted for coupling to a starter of a vehicle and is configured to disable starting of the vehicle when a disable command is received from the remote station and to enable starting of the vehicle when an ignition pattern is received at the controller.
