Abstract
A system for locating a vehicle using a monitoring device attachable to a vehicle and a mobile device. The monitoring device plugs into a vehicle diagnostic port and transmits an indicator signal to the mobile device, such as a smart phone, when the vehicle's engine is shut down. Upon receipt of the indicator signal, the mobile device determines its current location and saves it as the vehicle's location. The vehicle's location may then be displayed to the user on the mobile device. Such a system may be used with any vehicle, and allows for vehicle location without requiring that the vehicle have its own location system, such as a GPS system. The user's location may also be determined on the mobile device, along with directional information for guiding the user to their vehicle.
