METHOD, VEHICLE AND PROGRAM CODE FOR ESTABLISHING A SHORT-RANGE WIRELESS CONNECTION

The present disclosure relates to methods, systems and devices for establishing a short-range wireless connection, for example between a mobile device and a vehicle. According to one aspect, a method for establishing a short-range wireless connection between a mobile device and a vehicle comprises: establishing a first communication channel between the mobile device and at least one controller of the vehicle using a first communication protocol; negotiating at least one configuration parameter between the mobile device and the at least one controller of the vehicle via the first communication channel; and establishing a second communication channel between the mobile device and at least one transceiver unit of the vehicle using a second communication protocol based on the negotiated at least one configuration parameter. The disclosed methods, systems and devices may be used, for example, for establishing an ultra-wideband communication between a mobile phone and a vehicle for enabling contactless access to the vehicle.
