Abstract
An embodiment provides a method for coupling a telematics device to a host vehicle. One embodiment of the method may include: 1) coupling an electrical cable to an engine control unit of the host vehicle; 2) coupling the electrical cable to the telematics device; and 3) coupling a diagnostic connector to the electrical cable. The diagnostic connector may be configured to interface with a diagnostic scan tool that corresponds to the host vehicle.
