method and system for automatically establishing a communication connection to a vehicle

A method for automatically establishing a communication connection to a vehicle at a repair shop work station, the method comprising:

• connecting a plurality of mobile communication interfaces to one of a plurality of vehicles;
• establishing biunique assignments of the vehicles to the particular mobile communication interfaces connected to them;
• automatically detecting identification data of one of the plurality of mobile communication interfaces and/or of the particular assigned vehicle, which are located at the repair shop work station, or automatically detecting position coordinates of the plurality of mobile communication interfaces;
• transmitting the identification data or position coordinates to a vehicle testing device at the repair shop work station;
• and
• automatically establishing a communication connection between the vehicle testing device and the mobile communication interface located at the repair shop work station based on the detected identification data or the detected position coordinates.

A system for automatically establishing a communication connection to a vehicle at a repair shop work station, comprising:

• a plurality of mobile communication interfaces, which are configured to be connected in each case to one of a plurality of vehicles in the repair shop;
• a central software component, which is configured to store biunique assignments of the vehicles to the particular mobile communication interfaces connected to the vehicles;
• and
• a detection device, which is configured to automatically detect identification data of one of the plurality of mobile communication interfaces (2) and/or of the particular assigned vehicle, which are located at the repair shop work station, or which is configured to automatically detect position coordinates of the plurality of mobile communication interfaces;
• wherein the detection device is further configured to transmit the identification data or position coordinates to a vehicle testing device at the repair shop work station to automatically establish a communication connection between the vehicle testing device and the mobile communication interface located at the repair shop work station based on the detected identification data or the detected position coordinates.
