Abstract
The present invention provides a system and a method for managing a software configuration of a vehicle. Software configuration update data for a vehicle is requested from a central database from one of a call center or a telematics unit. Vehicle software configuration data representative of a vehicle software configuration is retrieved. A determination is made whether the software configuration update data corresponds with the vehicle software configuration data and a software module is sent from the call center to the telematics unit via a wireless network based on the determination. A computer usable medium with suitable computer program code is employed for managing the software configuration of the vehicle.
