Abstract
The disclosure includes a system and method for providing a wireless software update for a connected vehicle. The connected vehicle includes a processor, an engine, a battery, a non-transitory memory storing a vehicle application and a wireless antenna that is powered by the battery and operable to receive a monitor module from a wireless network while the battery is not being charged. The processor is communicatively coupled to the battery, the wireless antenna and the non-transitory memory. The monitor module is written in an aspect language and includes a software patch for the vehicle application. The wireless antenna receives the monitor module from the wireless network while leaving a sufficient charge in the battery to enable the battery to start the engine. The processor installs the monitor module in the vehicle application stored in the non-transitory memory. Installation of the monitor module provides the software patch for the vehicle application.
