1. A method for dynamically demonstrating vehicle features and vehicle promotions with demonstration information, the method comprising:
- storing and updating a plurality of filter nodes that provides a basis to separate out the demonstration information from a larger body of commercial information, each of the plurality of filter nodes being selected and stored in a telematics unit in a vehicle with no direct input by a vehicle user, the telematics unit being programmed to update the plurality of filter nodes from data systems both outside and inside the vehicle;
receiving a broadcast over a wireless channel, wherein the broadcast includes the commercial information associated with at least one of the vehicle features and the vehicle promotions;
filtering the broadcast with at least one of the plurality of filter nodes to yield the demonstration information filtered to be individually relevant to the vehicle user, wherein the demonstration information is at least a portion of the commercial information, and wherein the demonstration information includes content selected from physical aspects of the user'"'"'s vehicle, operational aspects of the user'"'"'s vehicle, purchasing of the user'"'"'s vehicle, driving of the user'"'"'s vehicle, servicing of the user'"'"'s vehicle and combinations thereof; and
presenting the filtered demonstration information in at least one of an audio format, a video format, or one or more executable files.
