Abstract

Methods, apparatus and systems are provided for programming a vehicle module. An exemplary vehicle includes a first module, an authentication module communicatively coupled to the first module, and an update module communicatively coupled to the first module and the authentication module. The update module is configured to obtain a programming update for the first module that includes an authentication portion and a programming data portion. The update module provides the programming data portion to the first module and provides the authentication portion to the authentication module. The authentication module provides the authentication portion to the first module after the authentication portion is authenticated.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] The subject matter described herein is related to that described in concurrently filed US Patent Application Serial No. XX / XXX,XXX (Attorney Docket: P024876-GMVE-CD(003.1078)). technical field [0003] Embodiments of the subject matter described herein relate generally to vehicle systems, and more particularly to systems and methods for securely programming modules within a vehicle using programming information from a remote device. Background technique [0004] In recent years, advances in technology have resulted in substantial changes in motor vehicle design. Modern vehicles include a large number of electronic components such as engine control units (ECUs), traction control systems, power steering systems, braking systems, climate control systems, navigation systems, infotainment systems, and more. Additionally, modern vehicles are often capable of supporting communications to / from external components, eg, via ext...
