REMOTE VEHICLE PROGRAMMING SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A system and method for remotely programming a vehicle including a vehicle connector with a plurality of pins in communication with one or more vehicle sub-systems or modules, a vehicle communication device connected to the vehicle connector; a bi-directional communication link between the vehicle communication device and a remote communication device, and a computer system connected to the remote communication device. The vehicle communication device is configured to receive signals from the pins, convert the signals to a network compatible data packet which can then be transmitted to the remote communication device, which re-converts the signals to the pin signals, which can be read by a computing system, such as a vehicle scan tool. Programming instructions can be sent from the scan tool to the vehicle, over the bi-directional communication link between the remote communication device and the vehicle communication device.

主权项

1. A system for remotely programming one or more sub-systems of a vehicle, comprising:
remote communication device, having a socket and a communications processor; said socket of said remote communication device adapted to engage a computing system; said remote communication device enabled to engage a vehicle communication device in continuous bi-directional communication using a standard OBD communications protocol via bi-directional communication link; and wherein said remote communication device is enabled by said continuous bi-directional communication using a standard OBD communications protocol to actively and continuously communicate with, scan and program said sub-systems as if it were located proximate to said vehicle.
