1. A method of maintaining communications with a vehicle in the presence of jamming, the method comprising:
- at the vehicle;
detecting that jamming of communications associated with at least one electronic device disposed at a vehicle is occurring;
responsive to detecting the jamming, transmitting an indication from the vehicle to a dynamically tuned base station informing the base station that jamming is occurring;
upon receipt of the indication at the base station, subsequently conducting communications between a stolen vehicle tracking (SVT) server and the vehicle on at least one predetermined and prearranged communication channel, the SVT server being in communication with the base station, the channel being established between the base station and the vehicle without the use of an intervening mobile wireless device, wherein at least one transmitter at the vehicle is dynamically tuned to the same channel as the dynamically tuned base station.

Abstract
Jamming is detected as occurring to communications associated with at least one electronic device disposed at a vehicle. Responsive to detecting the jamming, an indication is transmitted from the vehicle to a base station informing the base station that jamming is occurring. Communications are subsequently conducted between the base station and the vehicle on at least one predetermined and prearranged communication channel.

10. An electronic apparatus disposed in a vehicle, comprising:
-
an interface with an input and an output; a controller coupled to the interface, the controller being configured to receive a signal at the input of the interface, the signal indicating that jamming of communications at the vehicle is occurring, the controller further configured to responsive to the signal, transmit an indication at the output of the interface to a dynamically tuned base station informing the base station that jamming is occurring, the controller configured to upon receipt of the indication at the base station, subsequently conduct communications with a stolen vehicle tracking (SVT) server at the output of the interface on at least one predetermined and prearranged communication channel, the SVT server being in communication with the base station, the channel being established between the base station and the vehicle without the use of an intervening mobile wireless device, wherein at least one transmitter at the vehicle is dynamically tuned to the same channel as the dynamically tuned base station. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. Memory comprising instructions executable by one or more processors to:
-
at the vehicle;
detect that jamming of communications associated with at least one electronic device disposed at a vehicle is occurring;responsive to detecting the jamming, transmit an indication from the vehicle to a dynamically tuned base station informing the base station that jamming is occurring; upon receipt of the indication at the base station, subsequently conduct communications between a stolen vehicle tracking (SVT) server and the vehicle on at least one predetermined and prearranged communication channel, the SVT server being in communication with the base station, the channel being established between the base station and the vehicle without the use of an intervening mobile wireless device, wherein at least one transmitter at the vehicle is dynamically tuned to the same channel as the dynamically tuned base station. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
