Abstract
A system for communicating user identified preferences to a vehicle includes a programming device adapted to receive input indicative of user defined vehicle settings and operable to store the input as vehicle setting data. A first portable security device is operable to transmit a first identification code. A transceiver residing in the vehicle is in data communication over a wireless communication link with each of the first portable security device and the programming device. The transceiver is operable to initiate download of the vehicle setting data to the vehicle upon receipt of the first identification code from the first portable security device.
