Abstract

Embodiments relate generally to systems and methods for provisioning vehicle based digital rights management (DRM) for content delivered through a brought-in mobile device. Content may be delivered by the content provider to the vehicle via connection with the mobile device, wherein the content may be accessed using a computer system (or head unit) in the vehicle. Access to the content may be controlled or managed using a DRM package associated with a vehicle identification number (VIN) of the vehicle.
