Abstract: A vehicle information communication system includes a center apparatus and a vehicle apparatus that includes a group of electronic control units (ECUs) and that sends vehicle configuration information including configuration information on the group of ECUs mounted in the vehicle to the center apparatus via wireless communications. The center apparatus performs a first determination of whether the vehicle configuration information received from the vehicle apparatus matches approved-configuration information registered in an approved-configuration database, and performs a second determination of whether software update data for at least one ECU of the group of ECUs mounted in the vehicle exists in an update database. When both the first and second determinations are true, the center apparatus sends the software update data for at least one ECU of the group of ECUs mounted in the vehicle to the vehicle apparatus via the wireless communications.

Abstract: An electronic control unit includes an installation execution unit that operates at least one of an application program or parameter data stored in a first data storage bank serving as an active bank and rewrites a second data storage bank serving as an inactive bank by writing, to the second data storage bank, update data acquired from an external device, and an activation execution unit that switches the active bank from the first data storage bank to the second data storage bank. The installation execution unit rewrites the second data storage bank during a vehicle being travelable or parked. The activation execution unit switches the active bank from the first data storage bank to the second data storage bank during the vehicle being parked.
