1. A method of configuring a vehicle operating environment (VOE), the method comprising:
- sending, by a manufacturer computer system, an initial VOE configuration file to a VOE configuring application included in a client device;
sending, by the manufacturer computer system, a VOE components file to the VOE configuring application;
obtaining, from the client device, a modified VOE configuration file from the VOE configuration application; and
modifying an operating environment of a vehicle by providing the modified VOE configuration file to the vehicle remotely disposed from the manufacture system, wherein the modified VOE configuration file is modified to change an operating environment of the vehicle.
