receiving a second update information from a telematics system; determining a more recent one of the first update information and the second update information; and providing the more recent one of the first update information and the second update information as the up-to-date update information to the mobile device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein: the first update information includes a first odometer reading; the second update information includes a second odometer reading; and determining the up-to-date update information includes determining an update information with a higher odometer reading based on the first odometer reading and the second odometer reading. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein: the first update information includes a first timestamp; the second update information includes a second timestamp; and determining the up-to-date update information includes determining an update information with a more recent timestamp based on the first timestamp and the second timestamp. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein: the first update information includes a first fuel reading; the second update information includes a second fuel reading; and determining the up-to-date update information includes determining an update information with a lower fuel reading based on the first fuel reading and the second fuel reading. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the high-speed provider is associated with a streaming company. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving a plurality of scheduled updates during an operation of the vehicle. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, wherein the plurality of scheduled updates occurs during a vehicle start, a vehicle shut-off, a warning light activation, a mechanical service, or an airbag deployment. ### Claim 8 A computer system for obtaining up-to-date update information from a telematics system in a vehicle, comprising: a memory comprising instructions; and one or more processors configured to execute the instructions to perform the functions of: receiving a first update information from a high-speed provider; receiving a second update information from a telematics system; determining a more recent one of the first update information and the second update information; and providing the more recent one of the first update information and the second update information as the up-to-date update information to the mobile device. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The computer system of claim 8, wherein: the first update information includes a first odometer reading; the second update information includes a second odometer reading; and determining the up-to-date update information includes determining an update information with a higher odometer reading based on the first odometer reading and the second odometer reading. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The computer system of claim 8, wherein: the first update information includes a first timestamp; the second update information includes a second timestamp; and determining the up-to-date update information includes determining an update information with a more recent timestamp based on the first timestamp and the second timestamp. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The computer system of claim 8, wherein: the first update information includes a first fuel reading; the second update information includes a second fuel reading; and determining the up-to-date update information includes determining an update information with a lower fuel reading based on the first fuel reading and the second fuel reading. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The computer system of claim 8, wherein the high-speed provider is associated with a streaming company. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The computer system of claim 8, wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the instructions to perform the function of receiving a plurality of scheduled updates during an operation of the vehicle. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The computer system of claim 13, wherein the plurality of scheduled updates occurs during a vehicle start, a vehicle shut-off, a warning light activation, a mechanical service, or an airbag deployment. ### Claim 15 A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computer, cause the one or more processors to perform the method comprising: receiving a first update information from a high-speed provider; receiving a second update information from a telematics system; determining a more recent one of the first update information and the second update information; and providing the more recent of the first update information and the second update information as up-to-date update information to the mobile device. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein: the first update information includes a first odometer reading; the second update information includes a second odometer reading; and determining the up-to-date update information includes determining an update information with a higher odometer reading based on the first odometer reading and the second odometer reading. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein: the first update information includes a first timestamp; the second update information includes a second timestamp; and determining the up-to-date update information includes determining an update information with a more recent timestamp based on the first timestamp and the second timestamp. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein: the first update information includes a first fuel reading; the second update information includes a second fuel reading; and determining the up-to-date update information includes determining an update information with a lower fuel reading based on the first fuel reading and the second fuel reading. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein the high-speed provider is associated with a streaming company. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The computer readable medium of claim 15, further comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors of the computer, cause the one or more processors to perform the method of receiving a plurality of scheduled updates during an operation of the vehicle.
