A system, an apparatus, and methods are provided for data communications associated with a vehicle. The apparatus preferably includes at least one electronic subsystem associated with the vehicle and a plurality of electrical conductors connected to the at least one electronic subsystem and associated with the vehicle. A vehicle data communications protocol converter is preferably connected to the plurality of electrical conductors for converting a first data communications protocol associated with data communications along the plurality of electrical conductors to a second data communications protocol such as an infrared, an RF data, an Internet, or other network communications protocol. The apparatus also preferably includes a transceiver connected to the data communications protocol converter for transmitting the second data communications protocol from the vehicle and receiving the data communications protocol from another portion of the vehicle, a remote data communications terminal, another vehicle, or another communications network.

That which is claimed: 1. A vehicle comprising: a data communications apparatus for communicating data to and from said vehicle, said data communications apparatus comprising: a plurality of electrical conductors associated with said vehicle; a vehicle data communications protocol converter connected to said plurality of electrical conductors to convert a first data communications protocol associated with data communications along the plurality of electrical conductors to a second data communications protocol; and means connected to said vehicle data communications protocol converter for transmitting the second data communications protocol from said vehicle, and for receiving the second data communications protocol from a remote data communications terminal. 2. A vehicle according to claim 1, wherein said plurality of electrical conductors are operatively connected to at least one electronic subsystem associated with the vehicle. 3. A vehicle according to claim 2, wherein said at least one electronic subsystem is selected from a group consisting of tire pressure monitor, vehicle identification, brake system, cargo monitor, reefer monitor, lighting system, and fuel system. 4. A vehicle according to claim 2, wherein said at least one electronic subsystem comprises a tire pressure monitor. 5. A vehicle according to claim 1, wherein said second data communications protocol comprises a wireless data communications protocol. 6. A vehicle according to claim 5, wherein said wireless data communications protocol is selected from a group consisting of RF and IR. 7. A vehicle according to claim 1, wherein said first data communications protocol comprises one of the data communications protocols specified by SAE J1708, SAE J1939, and a universal serial bus standard. 8. An apparatus for data communications associated with a vehicle, said apparatus comprising: a plurality of electrical conductors adapted for association with the vehicle; a vehicle data communications protocol converter connected to said plurality of electrical conductors to convert a first data communications protocol associated with data communications along the plurality of electrical conductors to a second data communications protocol; and means connected to said vehicle data communications protocol converter for transmitting the second data communications protocol from the vehicle, and for receiving the second data communications protocol from a remote data communications terminal. 9. An apparatus according to claim 8, wherein said plurality of electrical conductors are operatively connected to at least one electronic subsystem associated with the vehicle. 10. An apparatus according to claim 9, wherein said at least one electronic subsystem is selected from a group consisting of tire pressure monitor, vehicle identification, brake system, cargo monitor, reefer monitor, lighting system, and fuel system. 11. An apparatus according to claim 9, wherein said at least one electronic subsystem comprises a tire pressure monitor. 12. An apparatus according to claim 8, wherein said second data communications protocol comprises a wireless data communications protocol. 13. An apparatus according to claim 12, wherein said wireless data communications protocol is selected from a group consisting of RF and IR. 14. An apparatus according to claim 8, wherein said first data communications protocol comprises one of the data communications protocols specified by SAE J1708, SAE J1939, and a universal serial bus standard. 15. A method of data communications associated with a vehicle, the method comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of electrical conductors associated with a vehicle; converting a first vehicle data communications protocol associated with data communications along the plurality of electrical conductors to a second data communications protocol; and transmitting the second data communications protocol from the vehicle to a data communications terminal. 16. A method according to claim 15, and comprising operatively connecting the plurality of electrical conductors to at least one electronic subsystem associated with the vehicle. 17. A method according to claim 16, wherein the at least one electronic subsystem is selected from a group consisting of tire pressure monitor, vehicle identification, brake system, cargo monitor, reefer monitor, lighting system, and fuel system. 18. A method according to claim 16, wherein the at least one electronic subsystem comprises a tire pressure monitor. 19. A method according to claim 15, wherein the second data communications protocol comprises a wireless data communications protocol. 20. A method according to claim 15, wherein the first data communications protocol comprises one of the data communications protocols specified by SAE J1708, SAE J1939, and a universal serial bus standard.
