A method of establishing a wireless connection between a vehicle and a mobile device, comprising the steps of:
- establishing a first short range wireless communication (SRWC) link between the vehicle and the mobile device;
- sending a request from the vehicle to the mobile device to perform a vehicle service that requires a second SRWC link different from the first SRWC link;
- and
- using the first SRWC link to establish the second SRWC link between the vehicle and the mobile device,
- wherein the first and second SRWC links use different SRWC protocols.
A method of establishing a wireless connection between a vehicle and a mobile device, comprising:
- establishing a first short range wireless communication (SRWC) link between the vehicle and the mobile device;
- receiving at the vehicle credentials from the mobile device following a determination at the mobile device that the vehicle is a trusted device;
- determining at the vehicle to perform an out-of-band service associated with the mobile device;
- and
- in response to the determination, establishing a second SRWC link and providing the out-of-band service.
A method of establishing a wireless connection between a vehicle and a mobile device, comprising:
- establishing a first short range wireless communication (SRWC) link between the vehicle and a first mobile device;
- establishing a second SRWC link between the vehicle and a second mobile device;
- receiving a request from the second mobile device to establish a third SRWC link using the second SRWC link;
- and
- in response to the request, disconnecting the first SRWC link and establishing the third SRWC link between the vehicle and the second mobile device.
