Abstract
A computerized method and system are disclosed that are directed to determining whether a communicatively coupling has been established between a network device and a transceiver, where both the network device and the transceiver are typically located within the cabin of a vehicle. The computerized method may include detecting movement of the first network device at a speed greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold indicating the vehicle is in motion and attempting to communicatively couple the first network device with the transceiver via both a first wireless communication module and a second wireless communication module at least a predetermine number of times. When a communicatively coupling cannot be established, an inactivity timer is decremented and is further decremented as long as system activity is not detected. When the inactivity timer decrements to a predetermined value, a notification indicating that the communicative coupling was not established is generated.
