Provided is a telematics application protocol (TAP) which extends the automotive telematics arena by providing a communications framework for applications which allow a user to communicate with a vehicle's onboard processor. Using the TAP, communication is accomplished via a suitable computational device, such as a PDA or a laptop computer, to query for vehicle information and control sensors thereby providing an ability, for instance, to monitor and/or manage onboard automotive diagnostics and functionalities. |
