Abstract: The present disclosure provides data and connectivity management systems and methods. A router application and/or service endpoint resolver in communication with a telematics control unit (TCU) may support devices and enable content, video or music streaming. In an illustrative embodiment, the router application and/or service endpoint resolver may receive a data access request to a resource identifier. A data plan associated with the vehicle may be accessed. In turn, a determination may be made on whether the resource identifier is within a preset list of resource identifiers defined by the data plan. The request to the resource identifier may be processed when the resource identifier is within the preset list of resource identifiers defined by the data plan. When no data plan exists for the vehicle or the resource identifier is not in the preset list, denial of the request may be made.

Abstract: A method and system for applying vehicle settings to a vehicle. The method and system include receiving a device identification (ID) from at least one of: a first portable device and a second portable device. The method and system additionally include identifying a user settings profile that is associated to the device ID. The method and system also include determining if the user settings profile has been updated since a last ignition cycle of the vehicle. The method and system further include applying the user settings profile to control a vehicle system, wherein the user settings profile is retrieved from at least one of: a central user settings data repository, a telematics unit of the vehicle, and a head unit of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method and system for limiting remote control between a portable electronic device and one or more vehicle systems in a vehicle. The method and system include connecting the portable electronic device to the vehicle. The method and system also include sending one or more remote control commands from the portable electronic device to the one or more vehicle systems, the one or more remote control commands are executed for remotely controlling the one or more vehicle systems from the portable electronic device. Additionally, the method and system include determining one or more countermeasure controls associated with the one or more remote control commands. The method and system further include restricting the execution of one or more remote control commands from the portable electronic device if it determined that one or more countermeasure controls are associated with the one or more remote control commands.
