1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- prompting, in a touch display of a vehicle, for label text to identify an accessory device detected due to a change in electrical properties of a controlled output of a switch module;
providing, responsive to touch input to the label text of the display requesting adjustment to a powered state of the accessory device, a command adjusting the controlled output; and
updating the display to reflect a result of the command.

Abstract
A computer-implemented method may include receiving input to a vehicle-associated computing system (VACS) touch-sensitive display, requesting adjustment to a powered state of an accessory device connected to a switch module; providing, responsive to the input, a command from a vehicle computing system to the switch module, running on the VACS, to adjust a controlled output of the switch module; and updating the user interface to reflect a result of the command.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions configured to cause at least one controller to:
-
receive, from a switch module, an indication of detection by the switch module of a change in electrical properties of a controlled output of the switch module, the change indicative of an accessory device being connected to the controlled output; provide a message in a user interface of a vehicle-associated computing system (VACS) touch-sensitive display requesting text to use as a label in the display for the accessory device; receive input to the label in the display, requesting adjustment to a powered state of the accessory device; provide, responsive to the input, a command from a vehicle computing system to the switch module, running on the VACS, to adjust a controlled output of the switch module; and update the display to reflect a result of the command. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
