Methods and systems are provided for assisting a user with parking a vehicle in a parking space. In various embodiments a method includes: receiving, by a processor, user input indicating a position of a virtual line displayed on a display screen of the vehicle, wherein the virtual line is adjustable by a user; storing, by the processor and in a datastore, the position of the virtual line and a vehicle position associated with a parking space; and selectively displaying, by the processor, an appearance of the virtual line on the display screen when the vehicle is within a range of the vehicle position to assist a user in parking the vehicle in the parking space, wherein the selectively displaying is based on a comparison of a boundary within a scene associated with the parking space and the virtual line.

Boundary memorization systems and methods for vehicle positioning

Systems and methods are provided for disabling a vehicle. An exemplary system includes, but is not limited to an antenna that is adapted to be attached to the vehicle. The antenna is configured to transmit and receive communication transmissions. A telematics unit is communicatively connected to the antenna. The telematics unit is adapted for attachment to the vehicle and is configured to communicatively connect to a necessary sub-system of the vehicle, to receive telecommunications from a user through the antenna, and to disable the necessary sub-system in response to receiving an instruction from the user to disable the vehicle.

System and method for disabling a vehicle

A method and system for dynamic determination of optimal route delivery receives a point of interest location, a current vehicle location, and a date of first set of route directions from a telematics unit over a wireless network by a software application running on a navigation server. The application accesses the first set of route directions and a second set of route directions from a database located on a telematics service provider premises. Both the first and second set of route directions are between the current vehicle location and the point of interest. If there is a traffic obstacle along a route between the current vehicle location and the point of interest location and the traffic obstacle was implemented after the first set of directions, a live advisor sends a notification to a user and provides the user with an alternate method of delivering route directions over the wireless network.

Dynamic determination of optimal route delivery method

A system for facilitating the use of a single telecommunication device by multiple users is disclosed herein. The system includes, but is not limited to, a telecommunication component that is adapted for attachment to a vehicle and that is configured to utilize a telecommunication network that is configured to allot a predetermined amount of usage time units to the telecommunication component. The system also includes an electronic processing device that is associated with the telecommunication component. The electronic processing device is configured to allocate a portion of the usage time units to each user of a plurality of users of the telecommunication component.
