1. A method for implementing remote application of vehicle control settings, comprising:
- prompting an individual, via a user interface on a mobile communication device, to place a key of a vehicle into an ignition of the vehicle and to turn the key such that the vehicle is in an accessory mode;
prompting the individual, via the user interface, to manually select driver preference settings by physically manipulating corresponding vehicle components disposed in the vehicle, the vehicle components electronically controlled by a vehicle control system of the vehicle, the driver preference settings identified by the vehicle control system while the vehicle is in the accessory mode;
responsive to the individual manually selecting the driver preference settings, querying the vehicle control system of the vehicle for the driver preference settings;
creating a profile record, the profile record storing an identification of the vehicle, an identification of the mobile communication device, and the driver preference settings received from the vehicle control system;
detecting, via a communications component of the mobile communications device, the vehicle in proximity of the mobile communication device;
authenticating the vehicle via a secured pairing between the identifier of the vehicle and the identifier of the mobile communication device;
retrieving the driver preference settings assigned to the identifier of the vehicle and the identifier of the mobile communication device; and
transmitting the driver preference settings to the vehicle.
