System and method for configuring software applications in a motor vehicle

摘要

A system and method for allowing a user to select and manage software applications in their vehicle from any Internet enabled device and allows the user to remotely configure the content of each specific application from any Internet enabled device. Once the application has been configured via the internet enabled device, the user launches the application from the vehicle. Upon launching, the application dynamically retrieves the user's settings from the server and downloads any information or content necessary. In this manner, the application is personalized to the user's settings, without the user ever having to take any actions from within the vehicle, or to personalize the user's settings while the vehicle is in Park.
