International Classification:

B60R 16/023

Abstract:

A plug-in communication system, for implementation with a vehicle. The system in one aspect includes an onboard diagnostics port-expansion device, configured for mounting in the vehicle to, or adjacent, an onboard diagnostics port, and an onboard diagnostics port expansion connection line extending from the onboard diagnostics port-expansion device, the connection line being configured to connect the port-expansion device to one or more vehicle components. In another aspect, the system includes an inline remote-services terminal configured for wired connection inline, via a plurality of connection lines, to a remote-services module of the vehicle, a first connection line, of the plurality of connection lines, configured to connect to the inline remote-services terminal and to the remote-services module, and a second connection line, of the plurality of connection lines, configured to connect to the inline remote-services terminal and to the remote-services module.
