System and method for automotive systems relative positional translations

A method for determining a vehicle-specific setting for a user of a vehicle, comprising:

• inserting a removable storage medium in a storage device attached to the vehicle;
• reading one or more user measurements from the removable storage medium;
• determining a vehicle-specific setting based on the user measurement;
• and
• adjusting a vehicle component based upon the vehicle-specific setting.

A method for determining a vehicle-specific setting for a user of a vehicle, comprising:

• inserting a removable storage medium in a first storage device included in a first vehicle;
• reading a normalized position setting from the removable storage medium;
• retrieving a translation algorithm corresponding to the first vehicle;
• translating the normalized position setting to a vehicle-specific setting based on the translation algorithm;
• moving a vehicle component to the vehicle-specific setting;
• receiving a request to adjust the vehicle-specific setting;
• translating the adjusted vehicle-specific setting to an adjusted normalized position;
• storing the adjusted normalized position setting on the removable storage medium;
• removing the removable storage medium from the first storage device;
• inserting the removable storage medium in a second storage device located in a second vehicle;
• reading the adjusted normalized position setting from the removable storage medium;
• retrieving a second translation algorithm corresponding to the second vehicle;
• translating the adjusted normalized position setting to a second vehicle-specific setting based on the second translation algorithm;
• and
• moving a second vehicle component in the second vehicle to the second vehicle-specific setting.
