ABSTRACT:
A method (200) for self-configuring a smart accessory allows for a common platform to be used for a variety of accessory options. The presence of an optional mechanical, electrical, and/or software configuration is detected (206) and compared to accessory parameter data associated with the identification and operation of the accessory (210). If the data and options do not match, the parameter data gets updated so as to self-configure the accessory to the detected optional configuration (212).
