Methods and systems are provided for monitoring onboard communications after a change to a functionality of an onboard system. An exemplary method involves identifying a source initiating the change to the functionality of the onboard system, determining an expected response to the change to the functionality of the onboard system by a vehicle operator based at least in part on the change, the source, and one or more callout rules associated with the onboard system, monitoring for the expected response from the vehicle operator, and generating a user notification in response to an absence of the expected response from the vehicle operator.
