More Information
Summary:A system for adjusting vehicle driver settings includes vehicle nodes configured to receive signals from a key fob or other portable wireless device, and a processing system for evaluating height information of the keyfob or other device. The processing system is configured to receive the height information and evaluate whether the wireless device is likely being carried within an article of clothing of the driver. A vehicle settings controller system accesses a settings database to obtain vehicle settings related to a particular wireless device height and implements initial vehicle settings upon a driver approaching the vehicle.
