Abstract
The invention concerns a system for remote control of vehicle functions and/or inquiry of vehicle status data, including a first communication device (25) for bidirectional wireless communications with at least one vehicle communication unit (40), wherein control commands for remote control of vehicle functions and/or inquiries for retrieving vehicle status data are transmitted via the first communication device (25),and further including a second communication unit (220) for establishing speech communication with a user of the system. According to the invention a computer (20) is provided for translation of speech information received via the second communication unit (220) into control commands and/or inquiries, which are then transmitted by the first communication device (25). Command controls for remote control of vehicle functions are provided and inquiries for requesting vehicle status data are provided. The computer (20) is adapted to translate information regarding the vehicle (10) received via the first communication device (25) into speech information and to transmit this information via the second communication unit (220) in the form of speech.
