Summary:A method and system for downloading and installing software to a vehicle that includes a battery and vehicle electronics. The system includes a vehicle communications device that receives an anticipatory signal indicating that software is ready or will be ready for wireless download to the vehicle. In response to the anticipatory signal, the method and system determine whether the vehicle is in a state and/or the battery has enough energy for wireless download of the software package, installation of the software, or both. If the vehicle is not in such a state or the battery does not have the requisite energy, then changes to battery charging parameters may be made in preparation of the software download and/or installation.
