Abstract

See full text

A vehicle gateway module adapted to communicate using short range wireless communication (SRWC) and a method of receiving data from a wireless source via a SRWC chipset in a vehicle. The method includes the steps of: detecting the wireless source using a first SRWC chipset in a gateway module in the vehicle; in response to detecting the wireless source with the first SRWC chipset, triggering a second SRWC chipset in the gateway module to wake-up by exiting a POWER OFF mode, wherein the first and second SRWC chipsets are configured to communicate according to different SRWC protocols; and in response to the triggering step: exiting the POWER OFF mode at the second SRWC chipset; and receiving content data from the wireless source at the gateway module via the second SRWC chipset.
