The invention provides a method and system for remotely inventorying
electronic modules installed in a vehicle. A vehicle telematics unit
sends an identification request to at least one electronic module. The
telematics unit receives at least one electronic module identifier in
response to the request. The identifier includes the serial number and
software revision for the electronic module. The received identifier is
transmitted from the telematics unit to a call center. The call center,
or a quality center to which the call center sends the transmitted
identifier, determines if the transmitted identifier corresponds with an
identifier included in an electronic module identifier database. The
database includes an identifier for each module that is intended to be
installed in the vehicle. A quality assurance notice is sent based on the
determination, indicating either that the correct module is installed in
the vehicle or that an incorrect module must be replaced.
