See full text

A method and system for temporarily disabling vehicle wireless services to prevent a third-party such as a bailee from using one or more vehicle wireless services without authorization. The wireless services may accrue cellular data charges to the vehicle user's account. The method includes configuring a telematics unit to identify a valet event, determining the occurrence of the valet event at the telematics unit, and initiating a valet mode in the vehicle based on the determination. In the valet mode, the vehicle wireless services may be temporarily disabled.
