A user's position inside a passenger compartment is judged easily and reliably and control according to the user's position is provided. An in-vehicle apparatus control system includes a server and an in-vehicle apparatus and is configured to communicate with a mobile terminal, such as a smart phone, that is located within the vehicle. The in-vehicle apparatus control system includes a storage unit that stores a face image of a user of the mobile terminal by associating the face image with identification information of the mobile terminal. The system also includes a seated position judgment unit that judges a seated position of the user by means of facial recognition to evaluate an inside passenger compartment image and the face image. The in-vehicle apparatus executes control according to the seated position of the user of the mobile terminal when accepting a specified control request from the mobile terminal.
