A system includes a processor configured to wirelessly instruct fuel dispensation initiation over a direct wireless connection between a vehicle and a refueling truck, responsive to a wireless request made by the refueling truck, the request including a valid token and a refueling truck MAC ID with which the wireless connection is established.

Method and apparatus for secure processing of fuel delivery requests

A vehicle system includes a communication device programmed to pair with a mobile device and a processing device programmed to periodically transmit, to the mobile device, a present location signal representing a present location of the mobile device. The processing device is further programmed to detect a vehicle shutdown and transmit a final location signal to the mobile device, the final location signal representing a final location of the mobile device and a shutdown flag.

Alert for left-behind mobile device

A vehicle includes a vehicle computing system (VCS) and an adaptive cruise control module, a lane departure warning (LDW) module, a navigation system, or an alert mechanism (e.g., audible, visual or tactile). The VCS communicates with an activity tracking device worn by a vehicle driver. The activity tracking device detects and records biometric characteristics of the driver, and is capable of exchanging data with the VCS. The VCS generates at least one output signal based on data from the activity tracking device. An adaptive cruise control module may increase the distance between the vehicle and a tracking vehicle based on the signal. A navigation system may generate a recommended parking location based on a difference between step goals and current steps detected by the activity tracking device.
