摘要:
A method for providing a secure communications link between a home PC and a vehicle through a wireless access point. The method includes providing a wireless connection between a vehicle communications system and the wireless access point and causing a user of the PC to initiate a communication with the vehicle communications system through the wireless access point so as to allow the user to send information to the vehicle from the home PC. The method also includes causing the vehicle communications system to send an authentication challenge to the PC, such as identifying a user name and password, to authorize the user to communicate with the vehicle communications system, and establishing a secure communications link between the vehicle communications system and the PC if the user responds to the challenge with a correct response.
