System and method for updating vehicle computing platform configuration information

A method for updating first configuration information of a vehicle computing platform comprising:

• receiving from a token identification information for a driver;
• selectively enabling the computing platform such that the first configuration information is accessible to the driver based on the identification information;
• establishing communications between the computing platform and an off-vehicle information store remote from the token storing second configuration information if the computing platform is enabled;
• updating the computing platform with the second configuration information if the second configuration information is different than the first configuration information;
• monitoring subsequent driving behavior;
• and
• selectively preventing access to the computing platform, if enabled, based on the driving behavior without disabling the vehicle to protect configuration information on the computing platform.
