Abstract
A method in one embodiment includes maintaining a list of authorized devices; creating an association between a wireless device being operated by an end user and an onboard unit (OBU) element, which is provisioned in a vehicle; establishing a session over a designated port for an application to be executed on the OBU element; and accessing resources associated with the vehicle through the OBU element. In other examples, authentication of the wireless device can occur via a wired equivalent privacy (WEP) WiFi access point provided by the OBU element. Authentication of the wireless device can also occur via a radio-frequency identification (RFID) tag. The resources can include any number of items such as speakers, a display, a microphone, a global positioning system (GPS) receiver, or any other suitable element that may be provisioned in the vehicle.
