Abstract
A database stored electrical signatures of mounting points for generic modules within a vehicle model. Software for programming each mounting point is mapped to the mounting points. For a production unit of the vehicle model, generic modules are placed at the mounting points without being programmed to perform a specific function. The generic modules measure the electrical signature of the mounting point at which they are mounted. The generic modules then coordinate with a server to identify a matching electrical signature in the database and programming the generic modules with corresponding software for performing specific functions.
