According to one aspect, a method includes detecting, through a detection interface of a vehicle, an installation of a first compartment insert in a first compartment of the vehicle, wherein detecting the installation includes determining when the detection interface is in contact with a second interface of the first compartment insert. After detecting the installation of the first compartment insert, it is determined whether the first compartment insert is capable of transmitting information to the vehicle. The method also includes obtaining the information from the first compartment insert when it is determined that the first compartment insert is capable of transmitting the information to the vehicle, and identifying a type associated with the first compartment insert from the information.
