1. A method for implementing geo-profiles for vehicle systems, comprising:
creating vehicle operating parameters for each of a plurality of different geographic regions based on vehicle operating characteristics for a plurality of vehicles, wherein the vehicle operating characteristics comprise driving styles;
composing a geo-profile for at least one of the plurality of different geographic regions based on the vehicle operating characteristics;
downloading to a subject vehicle of the plurality of vehicles a geo-profile corresponding to a region in which a subject vehicle is operating;
determining whether the geo-profile is compatible with one or more vehicle systems within the subject vehicle; and
altering the vehicle operating parameters of the subject vehicle based on the downloaded geo-profile by applying only those vehicle settings to the subject vehicle that are determined to be compatible with the one or more vehicle systems of the subject vehicle, wherein the vehicle settings are determined to be compatible based on a comparison of vehicle systems required to execute the geo-profile and the subject vehicle's vehicle systems.
