System and method for dynamic customizable vehicle configuration

A attribute configuration module of a vehicle control system, the attribute configuration module comprising:

• processing circuitry communicating with a plurality of vehicle subsystems associated with respective different dynamic vehicle control functions, the plurality of vehicle subsystems comprising a driveline subsystem, a powertrain subsystem, and a chassis subsystem;
• and
• a plurality of subsystem controllers associated with respective ones of the vehicle subsystems, the subsystem controllers controlling subsystem actuators associated with the respective different dynamic vehicle control functions to change an operational state of components of the vehicle subsystems based on respective configuration settings;
• wherein the processing circuitry:
• saves current configuration settings for the driveline subsystem, the powertrain subsystem, and the chassis subsystem as a saved configuration responsive to a first actuation of a configuration mode actuator;
• after an on/off cycle of the vehicle, instructs the subsystem controllers to implement the saved configuration responsive to a second actuation of the configuration mode actuator by instructing each subsystem controller of the plurality of subsystem controllers to control the subsystem actuators to change the operational state of the components of each of the driveline subsystem, the powertrain subsystem, and the chassis subsystem in accordance with the saved configuration;
• and
• displays the saved configuration settings responsive to a third actuation of a configuration mode actuator.

A method of providing customizable vehicle attribute configuration, the method comprising:

• monitoring a vehicle communication bus via which a plurality of vehicle subsystems associated with respective different dynamic vehicle control functions communicate with a plurality of subsystem controllers associated with respective ones of the vehicle subsystems, the plurality of vehicle subsystems comprising a driveline subsystem, a powertrain subsystem, and a chassis subsystem, the subsystem controllers controlling subsystem actuators associated with the respective different dynamic vehicle control functions to change an operational state of components of the vehicle subsystems based on respective configuration settings;
• in response to a first form of actuation of a configuration mode actuator, storing current configuration settings as a saved configuration based on encoded signals on the vehicle communication bus that device the respective configuration settings;
• in response to a second form of actuation of the configuration mode actuator, after an on/off cycle of the vehicle, instructing the subsystem controllers to implement the saved configuration via mirror signals that use the same coding as the encoded signals by instructing each subsystem controller of the plurality of subsystem controllers to control the subsystem actuators to change the operational state of the components of each of the driveline subsystem, the powertrain subsystem, and the chassis subsystem in accordance with the saved configuration;
• and
• in response to a third form of actuation of the configuration mode actuator, displaying the saved configuration.
