1. A system comprising:
- a processor configured with a transceiver and programmed to,in response to detecting a device via the transceiver, prompt an occupant via a user interface to pair the device based on a predefined password; and
receive input at the user interface to associate the device with a pre-approval setting for enabling a vehicle start request when the device having the pre-approval setting and a vehicle key are detected by the processor.

Abstract
A vehicle computing system includes a processor connected to a transceiver and programmed to prompt an occupant via a user interface to pair a device detected by the transceiver. The processor is further programmed to receive input at the user interface to associate the device with a pre-approval setting for enabling a vehicle start request when the device having the pre-approval setting and a vehicle key are detected by the processor.

10. A driver authorization method comprising:
-
receiving, via a vehicle processor, a request to start a powertrain based on a recognized key; searching for a previously paired mobile device based on the request to start the powertrain; if the previously paired mobile device is detected, enabling the powertrain; and if the previously paired mobile device is associated with a predefined restriction by the vehicle processor, immobilizing the powertrain. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
