Original Abstract Submitted

A control system for a vehicle may include one or more processors configured to execute instructions to receive, by one or more modules of the vehicle control system, a request to pair an accessory with the vehicle and determine, by the one or more modules of the vehicle control system, whether the accessory is preconfigured for pairing with the vehicle. In response to determining that the accessory is preconfigured for pairing with the vehicle, the one or more processors are configured to execute instructions to pair, by the one or more modules of the vehicle control system, the accessory with the vehicle and cause, by the one or more modules of the vehicle control system, a display of the vehicle to display a user interface customized for the accessory as paired with the vehicle.
