A system and method of establishing remote diagnostic data communications between a local diagnostic computer system and a remote diagnostic computer system comprising connecting a local vehicle diagnostic computer system at a repair facility to a vehicle at the repair facility to be in communication with an electronic system of the vehicle, initiating a connection between the local vehicle diagnostic computer system and a remote diagnostic computer system, where the remote diagnostic computer system is located remotely from the repair facility and comprises a diagnostic application program for use with the electronic system of the vehicle, and selecting a remote data connectivity profile based on one or more data connectivity factors with the remote data connectivity profile being operable to set diagnostic data transmission parameters between the remote and local vehicle diagnostic computer systems whereby diagnostic data is then communicated based on the remote data connectivity profile.

System and method for remote vehicle diagnostic data communications using connectivity profiles

Diagnosing vehicle anomalies efficiently is dependent upon the expertise of the repair technician, but also the availability of resources. As vehicles have become increasingly computerized, repair technicians have become increasingly specialized in a smaller number of vehicle models. Dealerships and large repair shops have an advantage in that they can more easily afford to obtain specialized electronic tools. However, repair technicians in smaller repair shops often are more skilled, but are unable to afford access to advanced electronic tools and software. A system for using remotely located resources to improve the diagnosis and resolution of vehicle anomalies, including the use of expert technicians and vehicle-specific databases, is disclosed.
