Abstract
Vehicles and methods for providing a communication between a mobile unit and a vehicle are described. In one embodiment, a communication is received from a mobile unit, the communication is interfaced to a vehicle's electromechanical system, an audio-visual interface associated with the vehicle's electromechanical system displays the communication; and a communication is transmitted to the mobile unit.
Claims31
A method of wireless communication between a vehicle maintenance tracking system and a vehicle comprising a mobile unit, the method comprising:
- receiving a communication link from a vehicle maintenance tracking system;
- determining by a microprocessor if the communication link is authorized, the determination is based on a security field and identification of the vehicle maintenance tracking system;
- receiving a communication and automatically turning down the volume of a speaker in the vehicle comprising the mobile unit by the microprocessor;
- outputting a message via at least one of an audio and visual interface;
- and
- storing the communication in a communication log.
