A method and apparatus for use in a mobile device telemetry system is disclosed. The method and apparatus relate to aspects in a mobile device protocol health monitoring system. The method and apparatus provide a system to monitor and assess protocol health, log protocol health data and communicate the logs of protocol health data to a remote system. The system may also take corrective actions based upon specific indications of protocol health. The method and apparatus also provides protocol health indications and corrective actions based upon monitoring the message transmission rate. The method and apparatus also provides protocol health indications and corrective actions based upon monitoring for a line disconnect.

Mobile device protocol health monitoring system

Methods and systems of enabling a non-interfering mode in a telematics device are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a co-presence policy from a telematics server, receiving asset data from the asset, determining a presence of a second device on the asset communications bus based on the co-presence policy, and activating a non-interfering mode of operation based on determining the presence of the second device and on the co-presence policy. The method may be used to prevent interference between a telematics device and a diagnostic tool connected to the same vehicle communications bus. Advantageously, tasks such as reading diagnostic trouble codes and firmware updates are not disrupted.
