1. A head unit, comprising:
- one or more processors to;
establish communication with one or more control devices of a vehicle, the one or more control devices being in communication with the head unit via a vehicle communication network associated with the vehicle;
establish communication between a user device and the one or more control devices based on the communication established between the head unit and the one or more control devices, the communication between the user device and the one or more control devices being established independent of a wired on-board diagnostic port; and
forward a message between the one or more control devices and the user device via the head unit.

Abstract
A vehicle head unit may receive a request, from a user device and by the head unit, to establish communication with a control device of a vehicle. The control device may be in communication with the head unit via a vehicle communication network associated with the vehicle. The head unit may establish communication between the user device and the control device based on the received request. The head unit may forward a message between the user device and the control device based on the established communication. The message may be forwarded between the user device and the control device via the head unit.

16. A method, comprising:
-
transmitting by a user device a request to a head unit of a vehicle to establish a communication with one or more control devices associated with a vehicle communication network of the vehicle and the user device without using a wired on-board diagnostic port; transmitting by the user device a message to the head unit based on the established communication, wherein the request message includes one or more requests for data corresponding to one or more vehicle performance parameters; receiving by the user device and by the head unit a response message transmitted from the head unit in response to the request message, wherein the response message includes data corresponding to the one or more vehicle performance parameters. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
