Abstract

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide systems and methods for adaptive accessory control in a vehicle. In certain embodiments, a system for adaptive accessory control in a vehicle includes a dock coupled to the vehicle and a vehicle control system communicably coupled to the dock. The dock includes a connection interface configured to receive and electrically connect to a plurality of accessories. The vehicle control system is operable to receive, from the dock, a first resistance value associated with a first accessory electrically connected to the dock via the connection interface. The vehicle control system is further operable to determine an identity of the first accessory based on the first resistance value and execute first vehicle program logic based on the determined identity of the first accessory.
