Abstract
An onboard device includes a storage unit configured to store a control program for controlling the onboard device and a communication unit configured to perform data communication with a mobile terminal. The communication unit performs data communication of a rewriting program with the mobile terminal when the communication unit has received a rewriting notification signal indicating rewriting of the control program stored from the mobile terminal and the vehicle is in a chargeable state in which the battery is able to be charged by the power generator. The communication unit does not perform data communication of the rewriting program with the mobile terminal when the vehicle is not in the chargeable state.
