Abstract: A device for implementing a method of remotely routing a voice call forward to a telematic device is disclosed. The device first maintains a call state of the voice call in response to an answering of call forwarding rings by the telematic device. The device then forwards the calls to the next assigned device in response to a failure of a user of the telematic device to answer fake rings from the telematic device. Such a failure can be indicated by a monitoring of a prescribed number of back ring tones or a dropping of call within a prescribed timer window.

Abstract: The current invention provides a method and system for enabling a device function of a vehicle. A speech input stream is received at a telematics unit.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of reporting connectivity of a mobile vehicle. A call request fails, a failure type of the failed call request is determined, a time of the failed call request is determined, a location of the vehicle when the failed call request occurred is determined, and the failure type, the time of the failed call request, and the location of the vehicle when the failed call request occurred are stored.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for providing local time to a mobile vehicle. A time information message is received at an in-vehicle telematics unit, which monitors for a time-update trigger event. A time-update message is sent from the telematics unit to a vehicle bus in response to the time-update trigger event. A computer usable medium with suitable computer program code is employed to provide local time to a mobile vehicle.

Abstract: A method and system for mobile telephone restriction boundary determination are provided. The method provides boundary information to a user of a mobile telephone by determining geographic boundary information regarding mobile telephone usage restriction, and responsive to the determined geographical boundary information, providing an indication to the user of the mobile telephone of mobile telephone usage restriction.

Abstract: A method for call routing for emergency network connectivity, comprising A method for call routing for emergency network connectivity, comprising: utilizing a public communications network, establishing a trigger connection from a service management system to a mobile switching center serving a mobile unit; and using the trigger connection, triggering an emergency 911 connection from the mobile switching center to a public safety answering point serving the mobile unit based upon a unit position data of the mobile unit.

Abstract: The present invention present invention provides a method and system for configuring a telematics unit in a mobile vehicle. An assigned system identifier is stored in the telematics unit, and a determination is made as to whether the assigned system identifier corresponds to a broadcast system identifier. A wireless carrier is called based on the determination, and a mobile identification number is received from the wireless carrier.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for programming a telematics unit in a mobile vehicle. A command signal may be received in response to a predetermined voice-recognition command. A cellular programming mode may be activated based on the command signal. A predetermined mobile phone identification number may be received in response to at least one voice-recognition entry. An operations mode may be activated in response to the received mobile phone identification number.

Abstract: The present invention is a system and method of providing access to a telematics unit in a mobile vehicle. A telematics unit access request corresponding to the telematics unit is received, and a mobile identification number and a telematics unit identifier associated with the telematics unit are determined. The mobile identification number and the telematics unit identifier are compared with a database of identifier records, after which a calling-state message is sent to the telematics unit based on the telematics unit access request, the mobile identification number, and the telematics unit identifier.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for initializing a telematic communication unit by initiating a first over-the-air service provisioning session between a wireless service provider and the telematic communication unit, receiving at least one interactive initialization data request from the wireless service provider at the telematic communication unit, determining at least one automated initialization response within the telematic communication unit as a function of the interactive initialization data, transmitting the automated initialization response from the telematic communication unit to the wireless service provider, and terminating the first over-the-air service provisioning session between the wireless service provider and the telematic communication unit.

Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for activating an in-vehicle wireless communication device. A mobile identification number associated with the wireless communication device is provided. A broadcast signal containing the mobile identification number and a satellite radio subscriber identifier is received at an in-vehicle satellite radio receiver. The mobile identification number is stored in the wireless communication device based on the satellite radio subscriber identifier.

Abstract: The invention presents a method for providing activation parameters for a telematic device by receiving at least one telematic device specific activation attribute from a telematic device manufacturer at a remote activation server. Additionally, the remote activation server receives at least one mobile vehicle specific attribute from a mobile vehicle manufacturer. At least one data feed attribute is created as a function of the telematic device specific activation attribute and the mobile vehicle specific attribute, and is stored within a database in communication with the remote activation server.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for storing an alert message request for a vehicle communication system into a message queue by initiating an acquisition task to determine service availability, receiving an alert message request from a wireless communication system, storing the alert message request into the vehicle communication unit message queue, and servicing the alert message request until completion.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for activating an in-vehicle wireless communication system. A vehicle identification number associated with a vehicle may be received.
