Remote vehicle control system and associated method for counteracting rogue command
First Claim
1. A vehicle remote control system for a vehicle comprising a data communications bus extending throughout the vehicle, and at least one vehicle device connected to the data communications bus, the vehicle remote control system comprising:
- a remote transmitter; and
a true controller at the vehicle for controlling the at least one vehicle device via a true command on the data communications bus and based upon said remote transmitter;
said true controller also controlling the at least one vehicle device via a respective counteracting command on the data communications bus based upon detecting a rogue controller attempt to control the at least one vehicle device via a rogue command on the data communications bus.

Abstract
A vehicle remote control system is for a vehicle including a data communications bus extending throughout the vehicle, and at least one vehicle device connected to the data communications bus. The vehicle remote control system includes a remote transmitter, and a true controller at the vehicle for controlling the vehicle device via a true command on the data communications bus, and based upon the remote transmitter. The true controller also controls the vehicle device via a respective counteracting command on the data communications bus based upon detecting a rogue controller attempt to control the at least one vehicle device via a rogue command on the data communications bus. The true controller may thus counteract a rogue controller attempt to start the engine, unlock vehicle doors, roll down windows, and/or disarm the vehicle security system, for example.
