Abstract

A method for providing telematics to a vehicle includes the steps of communicatively connecting a user-removable telematics component to an integrated communication device of the vehicle, the integrated communication device having a memory holding a list uniquely identifying at least one mobile communication device selected from a currently paired mobile communication device, a previously paired mobile communication device, and a pre-defined mobile communication device, transmitting a request for information out from the telematics component utilizing a communications path between the data pump and the integrated communication device, receiving the request for information at an off-site telematics information provider, and channeling a response to the request for information from the off-site telematics information provider automatically through the mobile communication device.
