1. A method of determining transmission origin comprising the steps of:
- receiving one of a first transmission including a first number of data bits from a first origin for a first system or a second separate transmission including a second number of data bits from a second origin for a second system with a receiver, wherein each of the first transmission and the second transmission are of a common protocol;
determining an origin of the received transmission with a controller associated with the receiver based on the total number of data bits contained in the received transmission after receipt of all of the received transmission; and
forwarding the received data bits to one of the first and second systems responsive to the determination of origin.

8. A receiver assembly for communicating with a plurality of vehicle systems, the receiver assembly comprising:
-
a receiver capable of receiving at least a first transmission from a first system and a second transmission from a second system, wherein each of the first transmission and the second transmission are of a common protocol; and a controller operating the receiver and determining an origin of a received transmission responsive to a number of data bits contained in the received transmission after receipt of the entire received transmission. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
