A wireless vehicle service system using addressable devices to avoid interference from similar devices within communications distance. The system includes a host and a plurality of devices that communicate with the host wirelessly. Each of the devices has a unique address, and stores information describing the device, such as the type of the device, a system to which the device is associated, a location of the device, etc. During an enumeration process, each device sends signals including its address and the information describing that device to a host of the vehicle service system. The host stores relationships between the addresses and associated information. For signals sent by the devices and received by the host, the host decodes an embedded address from the signals, and obtains information related to the device sending the signals based on the decoded address and the stored information associated to the decoded address. The host then processes the received signals by referring to the information describing the device sending the signals.
