Abstract

The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for vehicle control updates, ie, methods and systems for updating controls in vehicle modules. The update control may include: downloading the update from the server to the vehicle; when the update is interrupted, sending a download instruction to an agent running on the mobile device to resume the update download at an offset location; using the mobile device from the offset location The download of the update is resumed, and when the vehicle requests an update from the agent, the resumed portion of the update from the mobile device is sent to the vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] Systems and methods related to updating vehicle controls are described herein for a vehicle. Background technique [0002] Vehicles have various components that can be controlled by software. Software sometimes needs to be updated. To update the software of a vehicle component, the vehicle may be driven to a dealership and serviced by a technician. A technician would connect wires to the vehicle to take advantage of a system that tracks the individual software levels of each component in the vehicle and available software updates. A technician can manually apply software updates directed by the system and log any changes back into the system. During some downloads of software to the vehicle, the download may be interrupted when communication between the vehicle and the system storing the software is interrupted. Contents of the invention [0003] A vehicle update method and system is described that can stop an update download to a vehicle and can...
