Abstract
An audio communication system for an on-board diagnostic system of a vehicle is disclosed. The audio communication system includes an audio communication interface and a diagnostic audio bridge. The diagnostic audio bridge retrieves information from the on-board diagnostic system, modulates the information into an audio signal, and transmits the audio signal via the audio communication interface. The audio communication interface may be wired or wireless. A communication service on a personal communication device receives and demodulates the audio signal to retrieve the information. The communication may be unidirectional, such as broadcast, or may be bidirectional in which the personal communication device may poll or request specific data.
