Abstract
Control systems and methods are provided for vehicles that include, in one embodiment, a plurality of sensors, and a processor. The plurality of sensors are dispersed across a body of the vehicle, and are configured to detect an electronic device in proximity to the vehicle; and collect sensor data with respect to the electronic device. The processor is configured to determine, using the sensor data, whether the electronic device is physically disposed inside the vehicle; and selectively connect the electronic device with a telematics unit of the vehicle, via the processor, based on whether the electronic device is physically disposed inside the vehicle.
