1. A method executed by a telematics device, comprising:
determining a primary asset interface of a plurality of interfaces on an interface port of an asset to which the telematics device is coupled, the primary asset interface associated with a first set of interface pins on the interface port;
determining a secondary asset interface of the plurality of interfaces, the secondary asset interface associated with a second set of interface pins on the interface port;
detecting a first tag on the primary asset interface;
detecting a second tag on the secondary asset interface;
determining an asset platform for the asset based on detecting the first tag on the primary asset interface and on detecting the second tag on the secondary asset interface;
selecting at least one asset data query for obtaining asset data, based on the determined asset platform; and
making the at least one asset data query by listening for broadcast asset data or by sending an asset data request to the asset over the interface port and processing a corresponding received asset data response.
