System and method for applying vehicle settings in a vehicle
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for applying vehicle settings to a vehicle comprising:
- storing at least one user settings profile on at least one of a plurality of components associated with the vehicle based on a computing device that is used to create or update the at least one user settings profile, wherein the at least one of the plurality of components include a head unit of the vehicle and a telematics control unit of the vehicle, wherein the at least one user settings profile includes at least one of;
a user settings profile that has been updated since a last ignition cycle of the vehicle and a user settings profile that has been created or updated prior to the last ignition cycle of the vehicle;
determining if the at least one user settings profile stored on the at least one of the plurality of components has been updated since the last ignition cycle of the vehicle, wherein determining if the at least one user settings profile has been updated since the last ignition cycle of the vehicle includes evaluating the at least one user settings profile stored on the at least one of the plurality of components to determine if it matches a version of at least one user settings profile that is stored on a central user settings data repository;
executing the at least one user settings profile from the head unit, the telematics control unit, or the central user settings data repository based on if the at least one user settings profile has been updated since the last ignition cycle of the vehicle and on a connection of at least;
a first portable device and a second portable device to the vehicle; and
controlling at least one vehicle system of the vehicle, wherein the at least one vehicle system is controlled based on the execution of the at least one user settings profile.

Abstract
A method and system for applying vehicle settings to a vehicle that include storing at least one user settings profile on a plurality of components associated with the vehicle based on a computing device that is used to create or update the at least one user settings profile. The system and method also include determining if the at least one user settings profile has been updated since a last ignition cycle of the vehicle. The system and method further include selecting the at least one user settings profile to be applied to control a vehicle system of the vehicle from at least one component of the plurality of components based on if the at least one user settings profile has been updated since the last ignition cycle of the vehicle and on a connection of at least: a first portable device and a second portable device to the vehicle.
