1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- establishing communication between a vehicle computing system (VCS) and a wireless device;
determining that the wireless device has a native function that corresponds to a VCS function;
offering an option to import a wireless device native function interface to the VCS;
contingent on import-confirmation, downloading the wireless device native function interface to the VCS; and
providing the wireless device native function control interface in lieu of a corresponding standard VCS interface.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes providing an interface on a wireless device corresponding to an interface for vehicle infotainment system control. The method also includes providing simulated functionality of controls on the interface, such that activation of a control informs a user of what would occur if the control were activated on a vehicle interface. Further, the method includes saving at least one user setting input into the interface. The method additionally includes transferring the saved setting to a vehicle computing system (VCS) for use in infotainment system control when the wireless device is in communication with the VCS.
