A vehicle access system is disclosed having the plurality of system nodes for localizing a target portable device. In addition to Passive Entry/Passive Start (PEPS) features, the vehicle access system is configured to provide a variety of additional intelligent features depending on which zone of the vehicle the target portable device is located, depending on an identity of the person carrying the target portable device, and depending on other parameters or conditions.

Vehicle access system and methods for providing zone-determination based features therewith

A system for configuring an intrusion detection system. The system includes an input device, a display device, and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to receive input, via the input device. The input the electronic processor receives includes a previous configuration file, a databus configuration file, and user input. The electronic processor is also configured to run, with an intrusion detection system configuration tool, a simulation of communication on a vehicle communication system based on the input received and display, on the display device, results of running the simulation with the intrusion detection system configuration tool. The electronic processor is further configured to output a new configuration file and a file configured to be uploaded to a vehicle.

Graphical user interface tool for configuring a vehicle's intrusion detection system

A vehicle access system is disclosed having the plurality of system nodes for localizing a target portable device. The plurality of system nodes includes a master ECU that is asymmetrically installed at a predetermined location within the vehicle. The plurality of system nodes includes a plurality of slave system nodes. The plurality of slave system nodes includes an assigned system node that is asymmetrically installed at a predetermined location within the vehicle and a plurality of unassigned system nodes that are installed arbitrarily at any one of a plurality predetermined possible installation locations within the vehicle. The known installation locations of the assigned system node and the master ECU are used to self-learn the unknown installation location of each unassigned system node, for example after manufacturing assembly or repair of the vehicle access system.
