A system and method is provided for acquiring normalized position settings for use across different vehicle models. A reference user first sits in the vehicle and adjust the settings to preferred positions, i.e., vehicle-specific settings. The vehicle-specific settings are then retrieved from measurement sensors positioned on the components of the vehicle. The translation algorithms for the vehicle are read, and the vehicle-specific settings are translated to normalized position settings based on the translation algorithms. The normalized position settings may then be stored to a storage media that may be carried to other brands and models of vehicles for use in determining the appropriate settings in those vehicles.
