The vehicle unit receives vehicle data, such as exhaust emission data, and includes a wireless communication transceiver and a control for controlling the wireless communication transceiver. The control includes memory for storing vehicle data from the vehicle diagnostic system. A communication network provides wireless communication with the vehicle unit. The communication network is made up of a plurality of geographically dispersed generally stationary wireless communication transceivers. The vehicle unit communicates the exhaust emission data in its memory to a stationary transceiver in the vicinity of the vehicle.
