1. A method for determining a user-specific configuration of a braking device of a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
detecting measurement data using a detector, wherein the measurement data describe a user-specific use of a current configuration of the braking device of the motor vehicle;
providing a data record to an evaluation circuitry, wherein the data record comprises the measurement data and identification data for identifying the current configuration of the braking device;
determining, using the evaluation circuitry, a user-specific braking profile based on the data record;
providing a plurality of braking profiles to the evaluation circuitry, wherein each braking profile of the plurality of braking profiles is associated with a corresponding alternative configuration of the braking device that can be implemented in the motor vehicle;
identifying, using the evaluation circuitry, a selected braking profile from the plurality of braking profiles, wherein the selected braking profile has a greatest degree of conformity with the user-specific braking profile;
identifying the corresponding alternative configuration that is associated with the selected braking profile;
setting the identified corresponding alternative configuration as the user-specific configuration; and
triggering a changeover operation using the evaluation circuitry to provide the user-specific configuration to the motor vehicle,
wherein the user-specific configuration of the braking device comprises at least one mechanical component.
