Abstract

A multi layer data link communication system for a vehicle having a remote starter/alarm system, a vehicle computer and an OEM security interface. The system includes a multi-functional data bus interface module for sending control commands to the vehicle computer. The system also includes a transponder bypass module in communication with the OEM security interface and the multi-functional data bus interface module for transmitting and receiving authorization commands from the OEM security interface.

Claims

1. A multi layer data link communication system for a vehicle having a remote starter/alarm system, a vehicle computer and an OEM security interface, comprising:

a multi-functional data bus interface module for sending control commands to the vehicle computer;

a transponder bypass module in communication with the OEM security interface and the multifunctional data bus interface module for transmitting and receiving authorization commands from the OEM security interface.

2. The multi layer data link communication system according to claim 1, wherein the remote starter/alarm system is in communication with the multi-functional data bus interface module.

3. The multi layer data link communication system according to claim 2, wherein the remote starter/alarm system communicates with the multi-functional data bus interface module via a RS232 data communication port.

4. The multi layer data link communication system according to claim 2, wherein the multi-functional data bus interface module communicates to the transponder bypass module via a data bus.

5. The multi layer data link communication system according to claim 2, wherein the remote starter/alarm system is in communication with an antenna module.

6. The multi layer data link communication system according to claim 5, wherein the antenna module is in communication with the multi-functional data bus interface via a data antenna communication protocol.

7. The multi layer data link communication system according to claim 5, wherein the antenna module is in communication with the transponder bypass module via a data antenna communication protocol.

8. The multi layer data link communication system according to claim 1, wherein the multi-functional data bus interface module is in communication with a wireless receiver of the vehicle computer.

9. The multi layer data link communication system according to claim 1, wherein the remote starter/alarm system is in communication with the transponder bypass module.
