Abstract: A telematics server manages meeting request messages sent from, and to, a vehicle-coupled device. The server performs authentication services when a subscriber logs in to the server from the vehicle-coupled device, or with a device associated with the subscriber's telematics services account. Upon login, the server may append a session identifier to the request message. After the message passes through the server, an application running on a device remote from the vehicle receives the request message and accepts user input that permits the remote device to transmit its current location to the vehicle-coupled device in a confirmation message according to the session identifier. The telematics server can use the session identifier to determine the destination address of the vehicle-coupled device to forward the confirmation message to. The vehicle-coupled device displays the remote user device location on a map. The request and confirmation messages may include a media content file.

Abstract: A wind deflector and screened ventilation system with cigarette egress passageway is designed to releasably attach to a vehicle door. The device includes a deflector, screen, and cigarette egress passageway. The deflector has a deflector attachment portion and a wind deflection portion. The wind deflection portion includes a wind deflection portion proximal edge projection distance. The deflector attachment portion releasably attaches the deflector to the vehicle door, while the wind deflection portion deflects wind. The screen has a screen attachment portion and a screen ventilation portion. The screen ventilation portion includes a screen ventilation portion proximal edge projection distance. The screen attachment portion releasably attaches the screen to the deflector. A cigarette egress passageway is formed in the screen to permit a cigarette to pass from a screen ventilation portion interior surface to a screen ventilation portion exterior surface.
