Patent Summary

A system and method for remotely programming a vehicle through its OBD-II connector, enabling technicians to access and reprogram vehicle systems from a remote location. The system comprises a vehicle communication device connected to the OBD-II connector, a bi-directional communication link between the device and a remote communication device, and a computer system connected to the remote device. The vehicle communication device converts OBD-II signals to network-compatible packets, which are transmitted to the remote device and converted back to OBD-II signals for programming. The system supports various programming functions, including reprogramming, calibration, linking, and security coding, and enables technicians to access and update vehicle systems without physical proximity to the vehicle.
