METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR A KEY FOB BASE STATION ENABLING REMOTE CAR ACCESS USING A NOMADIC DEVICE
First Claim
1. A vehicle key base station comprising:
- at least one controller communicating with a key fob and a nomadic device via one or more transceivers, the at least one controller configured to;
receive a security code request from the nomadic device;
verify that the nomadic device is approved to communicate with vehicle key;
if the nomadic device is approved, transmit a request to the key fob for a vehicle security code;
receive the vehicle security code from the key fob; and
transmit the vehicle security code to the nomadic device.

Abstract
A vehicle key base station is configured to comprise at least one controller in communication with a key fob and a nomadic device using one or more transceivers. The at least one controller may be configured to receive a security code request from the nomadic device. The at least one controller may be further configured to verify the nomadic device is approved to communicate with vehicle key fob based on a pre-registration configuration. If the nomadic device is approved, the at least one controller may be further configured to transmit the request to the key fob and receive the vehicle security code from the key fob. The at least one controller may be further configured to transmit the vehicle security code to the nomadic device.

15. A computer-implemented product including instructions embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
-
establish communication with a key fob base station; transmit a request for security data from a key fob via the key fob base station; receive the security data; and in response to input via user interface, transmit a key fob function to a vehicle computing system based on the key fob security data. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
