Abstract
In a remote communications device (106), a method of operating a personal communications system (102) includes coupling the remote communications device (106) to a vehicle (109), wherein the remote communications device (106) comprises substantially all functionality of the personal communications system and the remote communications device utilizing at least one vehicle resource (116) while coupled to the vehicle. The remote communications device can configure at least one vehicle subsystem (118) while coupled to the vehicle and access content through remote communications device utilizing at the at least one vehicle resource. When remote communications device is uncoupled from the vehicle, it retains the functionality of the personal communications system (102) and remote communications device (106) can access content independent of the vehicle resources.
