1. A vehicle system comprising:
- a communication device programmed to pair with a mobile device; and
a processing device programmed to periodically transmit, to the mobile device, a present location signal representing a present location of the mobile device,wherein the processing device is programmed to detect a vehicle shutdown and transmit a final location signal to the mobile device, the final location signal representing a final location of the mobile device and a shutdown flag;
wherein the processing device is programmed to detect the present location and the final location of the mobile device inside the vehicle, based at least in part on a signal strength indicator, the final location including one of a vehicle passenger compartment front or rear, a pocket in a vehicle door, or a vehicle passenger compartment console.

10. A method comprising:
-
pairing a wearable device to a mobile device; receiving, via the wearable device, location information representing a location of the mobile device relative to a host vehicle, wherein the location is a location of the mobile device inside the vehicle, based at least in part on a signal strength indicator, the location including one of a vehicle passenger compartment front or rear, a pocket in a vehicle door, or a vehicle passenger compartment console; determining whether the mobile device is still paired with wearable device; generating, via the wearable device, an alert if the mobile device is no longer paired with the wearable device; and displaying, via the wearable device, the location of the mobile device relative to the host vehicle in response to the generating the alert. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)
