A configurable management system for a vehicle includes a receiving unit adapted to receive a message associated with a vehicle resource from a communication network of the vehicle. A control unit is adapted to determine a vehicle resource associated with the received message. An integration unit includes an external network connected to the control unit and the integration unit further includes at least one node, wherein the at least one node is configured to send an external message on the external network to the control unit. The control unit converts the external message to a suitable message that is sent to the vehicle resource.
