Long-range remote communication and control of a vehicle (10) is achieved with primary and secondary cellular devices (40, 14) provided by the vehicle user. The primary cellular device (40) is retained by the user, while the secondary cellular device (14) is dedicated to the vehicle (10) and placed in a docking station (12) provided in a vehicle instrument panel or console. The vehicle docking station (12) is equipped with typical cell phone electrical interfaces (26, 28, 30, 38) to supply battery charging current and to establish a bi-directional data communication link between the secondary cellular device (14) and an on-board vehicle computer (16). The secondary cellular device (14) remains activated, and provides a low-cost remotely accessible communication link between the on-board vehicle computer (16) and the primary cellular device (40) or any other phone, provided that specified security conditions are satisfied.
