6. The method of claim 5 , wherein:

the modifying the proximity permissions comprises:

activating a user-defined geo-fence surrounding the vehicle; and

activating, based on a proximity of one or more security tokens, one or more modified proximity profiles; and

the modified proximity profiles comprise:

a secure profile based on the proximity of all of the security tokens being outside the geo-fence;

a convenience-security profile based on the proximity of at least one of the security tokens being inside the geo-fence;

a secure-tracking-security profile based on the proximity of all of the security tokens being outside the geo-fence and the proximity of one or more tracking tokens being inside the geo-fence; or

a convenience-tracking security profile based on the proximity of at least one of the security tokens and the proximity of the one or more tracking tokens being inside the geo-fence.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the secure-tracking security profile further comprises:

determining, based on the proximity of each of the tracking tokens, each tracking token being outside the user-defined geo-fence; and

generating an alert, wherein the alert comprises a visual or auditory output.

8. The method of claim 4 , wherein the modifying characteristics of one or more displays of the vehicle comprises:

displaying a simplified user interface on the displays;

activating a dark-mode color scheme on the displays; or

routing a display and control signals to a mobile device,

wherein the routing comprises:

sending the display and control signals to the mobile device; and

displaying the display and control signals on a display of the mobile device.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the modifications to the at least one of the one or more operating characteristics remain while the vehicle access key is in a geo-fence around the vehicle.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the one or more operating characteristics that is modified is determined based on an active user profile associated with the vehicle.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein a set of configuration values that the at least one of the one or more operating characteristics are modified to is based on the active user profile.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more operating settings comprise one or both of passive entry permissions and proximity permissions.

13. A system comprising:

a control module comprising a processor and one or more programs stored in a memory that, when executed by the processor, causes the control module to:

receive, by a control module, a signal to place a vehicle in a designated mode, wherein the signal is received while the vehicle is parked and a vehicle access key associated with the vehicle is within close proximity of the vehicle; and

in response to receiving the signal:

identify, by the control module, one or more operating characteristics of the vehicle to be modified to create a desired environment, wherein the one or more operating characteristics are configured to be modified by at least one of:

decreasing a luminance of interior lights or exterior lights controlled by the vehicle,

dimming a brightness of one or more displays controlled by the vehicle,

or decreasing a volume of sound emitting components controlled by the vehicle, and

modify, by the control module, one or more operating settings of the vehicle to change at least one of the one or more operating characteristics of the vehicle to create the desired environment when the vehicle is placed in the designated mode.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the modifying the one or more operating characteristics of the vehicle comprises:

modifying characteristics of one or more of the interior lights or exterior lights;

modifying characteristics of one or more of the sound-emitting components of the vehicle;

modifying characteristics of one or more of the displays of the vehicle;

modifying characteristics of an HVAC control system of the vehicle;

modifying characteristics of one or more wireless communication systems of the vehicle;

modifying characteristics of one or more security systems of the vehicle; or

modifying characteristics associated with one or more accessories for the vehicle.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the modifications to the at least one of the one or more operating characteristics remain while the vehicle access key is in a geo-fence around the vehicle.

16. The system of claim 13 , wherein the at least one of the one or more operating characteristics that is modified is determined based on an active user profile associated with the vehicle.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein a set of configuration values that the at least one of the one or more operating characteristics are modified to is based on the active user profile.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs comprising instructions that, when executed by a control module of a vehicle, causes the control module to:

receive, by a control module, a signal to place a vehicle in a designated mode, wherein the signal is received while the vehicle is parked and a vehicle access key associated with the vehicle is within close proximity of the vehicle; and

in response to receiving the signal:

identify, by the control module, one or more operating characteristics of the vehicle to be modified to create a desired environment, wherein the one or more operating characteristics are configured to be modified by at least one of:

decreasing a luminance of interior lights or exterior lights controlled by the vehicle,

dimming a brightness of one or more displays controlled by the vehicle,

or decreasing a volume of sound emitting components controlled by the vehicle, and

modify, by the control module, one or more operating settings of the vehicle to change at least one of the one or more operating characteristics of the vehicle to create the desired environment when the vehicle is placed in the designated mode.
