1. A system comprising:
- a vehicle configured to, responsive to receiving a request from a mobile device associated with a particular seat location to access a secure vehicle function, request driver authorization for the mobile device to access the function based on the seat location associated with the mobile device and a query of a local policy table defining which vehicle functions accessible to the mobile device require driver authorization based on the associated seat location.

Abstract
Systems and methods for managing mobile device control of vehicle functions and subsystems using policy control are disclosed. A computing platform of a vehicle may receive a request, from a mobile application, to access one or more secure vehicle functions and subsystems. The computing platform may retrieve application permissions for the mobile application from a policy table to determine whether to allow the requested access, deny the requested access or to prompt a driver for permission to allow access to the secure vehicle function.

11. A system, comprising:
a mobile device, connected to a computing platform of a vehicle, programmed to execute a mobile application to access a vehicle subsystem; prompt a user to input a vehicle seat location; and send to the computing platform a policy table update received from a remote server including a local policy table with application permissions defining which functions of the vehicle are accessible to the mobile application based on the vehicle seat location. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
