ABSTRACT:
A vehicle control system is for a vehicle including a vehicle data communication bus extending throughout the vehicle and may include a plurality of user control devices, and a first controller at the vehicle for generating a data bus code on the bus from among a series of data bus codes based upon a respective user control device. Each data bus code of the series may have a common function portion and an identity portion that is different for each respective user control device. Moreover, a second multi-vehicle controller at the vehicle may compare a data bus code on the bus with a vehicle code learning index to determine the vehicle from a plurality of different vehicles. The index may include possible data bus codes each including a respective common function portion for each different vehicle with a don't care condition specified for each identity portion.
