A method for a user electronic device to present information to a user. A status of a short range communication link between the user electronic device and a vehicle electronic device of a vehicle is monitored. When the user electronic device and the vehicle electronic device are connected, first data associated with the vehicle is retrieved from the vehicle electronic device. Dependent upon the first data, second data, including vehicle data, is retrieved. The second data is formatted in accordance with a messaging protocol of the vehicle electronic device and transmitted to the vehicle electronic device for presentation on a visual or audio interface of the vehicle electronic device. When the short range link is terminated, or at regular intervals, the location of the user electronic device may be stored to enable the vehicle to be located at a later time.
