1. A method for remotely programming a sub-system of a subject vehicle, comprising:

  • establishing, by a first communication device located proximate to a vehicle scan tool and comprising a first communication device processor, a bi-directional communication link with a second communication device over a communication network, the second communication device located proximate to a subject vehicle and remote from the first communication device;

    requesting, by the first communication device, over the bi-directional communication link and via the second communication device, an outgoing pin signal from a vehicle sub-system for the subject vehicle;

    receiving, by the first communication device, over the bi-directional communication link, a network-compatible vehicle packet corresponding to the outgoing pin signal;

    converting, by the first communication device, the vehicle packet to the outgoing pin signal; and

    communicating, by the first communication device, the outgoing pin signal to the vehicle scan tool;

    wherein the first communication device and the second communication device provide communication between the vehicle scan tool and the vehicle sub-system to enable the vehicle scan tool to scan and program the vehicle sub-system of the subject vehicle as if the vehicle scan tool were located proximate to the subject vehicle.
