A method for registering an in-vehicle head unit to receive wireless communication services. The method comprises determining by the head unit that a motor vehicle in which the head unit is installed has been turned on and, while the motor vehicle remains turned on, the head unit completing a first stage of registration during which a reference to a web site is created, wherein the reference is valid for a predefined period of time after completion of the first stage of registration. The method further comprises creating a subscription account to provide the wireless communication services to the head unit during a second stage of registration, wherein the second stage of registration is based on accessing the web site using the reference before expiration of the predefined period of time.

In-car head unit wireless communication service subscription initialization

Embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for provisioning vehicle based digital rights management (DRM) for content delivered through a brought-in mobile device. Content may be delivered by the content provider to the vehicle via connection with the mobile device, wherein the content may be accessed using a computer system (or head unit) in the vehicle. Access to the content may be controlled or managed using a DRM package associated with a vehicle identification number (VIN) of the vehicle.

Provisioning vehicle based digital rights management for media delivered via phone

A method, system, and medium are provided for a global synchronization system (GSS). The GSS includes a global synchronization server and a network storage device. Content sources can be retrieved directly from the remote source, or optionally uplinked onto the network storage device. The content sources and user devices are defined, as well as the relationships of one endpoint to another, according to subscriber specifications, provided by the global synchronization system. The subscriber specifications are managed by the global synchronization server to provide synchronization of changes and updates to content sources and devices.
