1. A wireless data link system between a vehicle having a vehicle controller and a computing device having a computing processor, comprising:

  • a vehicle data link (“

    VDL”

    ) device having a VDL controller, a VDL memory, and a VDL interface circuitry, the VDL interface circuitry providing a connection to the vehicle controller for exchanging data, the VDL memory storing a passcode that provides a secure connection and a VDL recognizable code that is associated with the VDL device;

    a computing data link (“

    CDL”

    ) device having a CDL controller, a CDL memory, and CDL interface circuitry, the CDL interface circuitry providing a connection to the computing processor for exchanging data, the CDL memory storing the passcode that provides a secure connection and a CDL recognizable code that is associated with the CDL device, the VDL controller and the CDL controller both including;

    a control logic for searching over a short-range wireless network for one of the VDL device and the CDL device;

    a control logic for detecting one of the VDL recognizable code and the CDL recognizable code;

    a control logic for authenticating a short-range wireless connection between the VDL device and the CDL device, the short-range wireless connection being automatically authenticated and secured by the passcode; and

    a control logic for establishing the short-range wireless connection to transfer data between the vehicle controller and the computing processor.
