First Claim
Patent Images
1. A vehicle comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive a wireless signal from a transducer of a performance product, the wireless signal including a characteristic of the performance product and a product type of the performance product;
a product controller configured to;
determine, based upon the characteristic and the product type included in the wireless signal, that the performance product is authenticated to be installed on the vehicle;
determine that the performance product affects performance of an electronic control unit of the vehicle based upon the characteristic and the product type of the performance product; and
send, based on the determination that the performance product is authenticated to be installed on the vehicle and the determination that the performance product affects the electronic control unit, to the electronic control unit a calibration instruction to perform a calibration of the electronic control unit based on the characteristic and the product type; and
the electronic control unit configured to;
receive the calibration instruction; and
adjust a calibration of the electronic control unit to a target setting based upon the calibration instruction.

Abstract
Method and apparatus are disclosed for vehicle calibration based upon performance product detection. An example vehicle includes a receiver to receive a wireless signal from a transducer of an performance product that includes characteristics of the performance product. The example vehicle also includes a product controller to authenticate the performance product based upon the wireless signal and send, upon authentication, a calibration instruction that includes the characteristics. The example vehicle also includes an electronic control unit to receive the calibration instruction and adjust a calibration to a target setting based upon the characteristics.

18. A method for calibrating a vehicle, comprising:
-
receiving, via a receiver of the vehicle, a wireless signal from a transducer of a performance product, the wireless signal including a characteristic and the product type of the performance product and a product type of the performance product; determining, based upon the characteristic and the product type included in the wireless signal, that the performance product is authenticated to be installed on the vehicle; determining that the performance product affects performance of an electronic control unit based upon the characteristic and the product type of the performance product sending, based on the determination that the performance product is authenticated to be installed on the vehicle and the determination that the performance product affects the performance of the electronic control unit, to the electronic control unit a calibration instruction to perform a calibration of the electronic control unit based on the characteristic and the product type; and adjusting a calibration of the electronic control unit to a target setting based upon the characteristic and the product type. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
