A method for controlling access to a vehicle includes storing at a vehicle-based system a GPS location of the vehicle associated with the location at which the vehicle is parked. The vehicle-based system communicates with a mobile device to obtain a GPS location of the mobile device. The vehicle-based system blocks entry to the vehicle if the GPS location of the mobile device is outside a predetermined distance from the stored GPS location of the vehicle.

Method for controlling access to a vehicle as well as a system for controlling access to a vehicle

A brake pad wear sensing system for measuring brake pad wear for a vehicle disc brake system includes an RF communication circuit for transmitting an RF signal including brake pad wear data. The system also includes a vehicle-based receiver including an RF communication circuit for receiving the brake pad wear data in the RF signal transmitted by the wear sensor. The vehicle-based receiver is operatively connected to a vehicle-based main controller. The vehicle-based receiver transmits the brake pad wear data to the main controller.
