Abstract
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.
