`ABSTRACT
`A vehicle tracking unit is provided for a vehicle of a type
`comprising a vehicle data bus extending throughout the
`vehicle and at least one operable vehicle device connected
`thereto . The at least one operable vehicle device may be
`responsive to at least one data bus code on the vehicle data
`bus . The vehicle tracking unit may include a vehicle position
`determining device , a wireless communications device , and
`a controller cooperating with the vehicle position determin
`ing device and the wireless communications device to send
`vehicle position information to a monitoring station . More
`over , the controller may generate the at least one data bus
`code on the vehicle data communications bus to control the
`at least one operable vehicle device based upon a command
`signal received by the wireless device .
