SYSTEM TO PERMIT PAIRING OF VEHICLE ACCESS DEVICE TO A VEHICLE

A method for pairing a vehicle access device to a vehicle includes detecting an attempt to pair a vehicle access device with a vehicle, providing a notification to a user that an attempt to pair the vehicle access device with the vehicle has been detected, requesting an authorization from the user, receiving the authorization, and completing a pairing process. In some implementations a cool-down period may be implemented upon detecting an attempt to pair the vehicle access device with the vehicle. The cool-down period delays completion of the pairing process until either the cool-down period expires or authorization is received.
