ABSTRACT:
An interface communicates with a computer mounted in a vehicle. The interface includes an input device, adapted to be removed from the vehicle, having a first electrical connector. A docking site, having a second electrical connector adapted to receive the first electrical connector, is mounted in the vehicle for supporting the input device. A communication cable connects the second electrical connector to the computer thereby providing a communication path between the input device and the computer. In one embodiment, the input device includes a transmitter circuit for producing and transmitting wireless control signals. In this manner, the input device may be used to remotely control an electrical accessory device in the vehicle, such as a door lock/unlock motor. In another embodiment, the input device is used to enable the engine ignition system of the vehicle. In this manner, the vehicle may be started without an ignition key yet still be protected against theft.
