  • Patent number: 12219039
    Abstract: A method of remote communications with an on-board diagnostics (OBD) system of a vehicle includes connecting a vehicle communications device to a connector of a vehicle's OBD system, connecting a remote communications device to a connector of a vehicle tool device, and establishing a network communications link between the vehicle communications device and a remote communications device. The vehicle communications device receives communications at the ve-hicle-communications device from the vehicle's OBD system through the connector. A bit stream of the received communications is analyzed over an interval of time.

  • Patent number: 10528334
    Abstract: A system and method for remotely programming a vehicle including a vehicle connector with a plurality of pins in communication with one or more vehicle sub-systems or modules, a vehicle communication device connected to the vehicle connector; a bi-directional communication link between the vehicle communication device and a remote communication device, and a computer system connected to the remote communication device. The vehicle communication device is configured to receive signals from the pins, convert the signals to a network compatible data packet which can then be transmitted to the remote communication device, which re-coverts the signals to the pin signals, which can be read by a computing system, such as a vehicle scan tool. Programming instructions can be sent from the scan tool to the vehicle, over the bi-directional communication link between the remote communication device and the vehicle communication device.
