An intelligent dynamic speed limiting system for use with a motor vehicle is disclosed. The system may have a processor, a memory in communication with the processor, a source of map information that provides posted speed limit information for roads in a geographic region, and a speed set control. The speed set control may be configured to enable a user to select a speed increase value by which a speed of the vehicle may exceed a posted speed limit. The processor may read the speed increase value set by the user and limit the vehicle speed to that of a posted speed limit for a road that the vehicle is travelling on, plus an additional speed increment determined by the processor by using the user set speed increase value.

Automatic speed limiter set speed adjustment

A system for mounting in a vehicle and for providing a control signal to a remote device based on information stored in a portable electronic device includes a radio frequency transmitter for transmitting a control signal to the remote device. The system also includes a first circuit configured to receive first information from the portable electronic device via inductive-coupling between the portable electronic device and the first circuit when the portable electronic device is brought within the induction field of the first circuit. The system also includes a second circuit configured to use the first information received from the portable electronic device and to at least one of format the control signal in accordance with the first information and to cause the radio frequency transmitter to format the control signal in accordance with the first information.

System and method for configuring a wireless control system of a vehicle

A system and a method for causing a garage door to open using a garage door opener having a wireless receiver is provided. The system comprises an interface coupled to an environment sensor and configured to receive data from the environment sensor. The system can include processing electronics coupled to the interface and configured to receive the data from the interface and to use the received data to determine whether an environmental condition exists. The processing electronics provide a command to cause the garage door opener to open the garage door based on the determination of whether the environmental condition exists.

System for causing garage door opener to open garage door and method

A vehicle system includes a vehicle communication module in the vehicle, a remote start system in the vehicle, and a vehicle processor. The vehicle processor is configured to determine if the vehicle is in a garage, and further configured to receive an indication of a remote start request from the remote start system, receive a garage door status from a garage door opener using the vehicle communication module, and determine, based on the received garage door status, if a garage door is closed. In response to determining that the garage door is closed, the vehicle systems transmits a remote command to the garage door opener formatted to cause the garage door opener to open the garage door.

Communication system and method

A control system () for mounting to a vehicle () and for providing information to an occupant of the vehicle from a first source device () is provided. The vehicle includes an audio system () and/or a display system (). The control system includes a first interface () for communicating with the first source device (). The control system further includes a second interface for providing a signal to the audio system and/or the display system. The control system yet further includes a processor (). A memory unit () is communicably connected to the processor and includes a first transport () configured to send a control signal to the interface. The memory unit () further includes a first manager () configured to receive a command from an application () and to translate the command from the application () into a command for the transport ().

Mobile device gateway systems and methods

A method for providing an audible prompt to a user within a vehicle. The method includes retrieving one or more data files from a memory device. The data files define certain characteristics of an audio prompt. The method also includes creating the audio prompt from the data files and outputting the audio prompt as an audio signal.

System and method for customized prompting

A system for mounting in a vehicle and for providing route information calculated by a remote source () to a display is provided. The system includes a display interface () for providing a signal to the display (). The system further includes a communications device (). The system yet further includes a processor () operatively coupled to the communications device () and the display interface (), wherein the processor () is configured to cause vehicle position information to be sent to the remote source () via the communications device (). The processor is further configured to receive route information from the remote source () via the communications device (). The processor () is yet further configured to provide a representation of the route information to the display interface (), the route information conveying directions from a position of the vehicle to a destination.

System and method for causing garage door opener to open garage door using an environmental sensor

A system for mounting to a vehicle including a user interface element and for controlling a transmitter device configured to send an expected transmission to receiving device is provided. The system includes a transceiver. The system further includes an interface for receiving a first signal from the user interface element. The system yet further includes a processor configured to establish a bi-directional data communication link between the transceiver and the transmitter device. The processor is further configured to cause the transceiver to send a second signal to the transmitter device via the bi-directional data communication link based upon the first signal received at the interface. The processor is yet further configured to format the second signal so that the transmitter device will send the expected transmission to the receiving device.

Remote control system and method

A communication system and method in which the communication system comprises a first communication module () and a second communication module (). The first communication module () is located inside a vehicle (), and the second communication module () is located in a garage door opener () and/or a home (). A first information () relating to status information of the vehicle () is transmitted wirelessly between the first and second communication modules (). Additionally or alternatively, a second information is transmitted between the first and second communication modules (). The second information relates to status information of the garage door opener () and/or the home ().
