Abstract

A method and system is provided for a protocol translation device that may include two different protocols and an intermediate, network-independent protocol. In an embodiment, an emerging worldwide standard, Bluetooth, provides a wireless interface to the electronics in an automotive vehicle via the de-facto standard for vehicle buses, Controller Area Network (CAN). A remote application can connect to this interface via a Bluetooth host in the vehicle or in communication range of the vehicle.
