Abstract
When an in-vehicle apparatus receives an information retrieval request from a portable cellular phone along with a phone ID of the cellular phone, a link key is generated in the in-vehicle apparatus based on the phone ID and an apparatus ID of the in-vehicle apparatus. When the link key coincides with a previously generated link key that is associated with information stored in the in-vehicle apparatus, the in-vehicle apparatus permits the cellular phone to retrieve only the associated information, which is stored in the in-vehicle apparatus and is associated with the previously generated link key, so that retrieval of information other than the associated information from the in-vehicle apparatus by the cellular phone is prohibited.
