System and methods for controlling vehicular functions
DCFirst Claim
1. A control system for a vehicle comprising:
- at least one data communications bus;
at least one firewall in communication with said at least one data communications bus, wherein said at least one firewall creates at least two data communications bus from said at least one data communications bus;
at least one vehicle device in communication with at least one of said at least two data communications bus;
wherein said at least one vehicle device is in communication with said at least one firewall; and
at least one firewalled controller in communication with said at least one firewall,wherein said firewalled controller allows a directive to be transmitted to said firewall through said at least one communication bus which controls said at least one vehicle device and said firewall allows said directive through a second at least one data communications bus which controls said at least one vehicle device, andwherein said firewall changes said directive prior to transmission.

13. A method of exchanging information with a control system for a vehicle comprising the steps of:
-
providing at least one data communications bus; providing at least one firewall in communication with said at least one data communications bus, wherein said at least one firewall creates at least two data communications bus from said at least one data communications bus; providing at least one vehicle device in communication with at least one of said at least two data communications bus, wherein said at least one vehicle device is in communication with said at least one firewall; providing at least one firewalled controller in communication with said at least one firewall, wherein said firewalled controller allows a directive to said firewall through said at least one communication bus which controls said at least one vehicle device and said firewall allows said directive through a second at least one data communications bus which controls said at least one vehicle device; and providing a security authorizing device, wherein said security authorizing device authorizes use or denies use and when said security authorizing device authorizes use said firewall obtains security codes from said security authorizing device said firewall emulates said security codes and issues starting procedures according to said security codes. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
