ABSTRACT:
A door handle assembly for a vehicle includes a handle portion and an antenna positioned within the handle portion. The handle portion is movable or actuatable to open the door of the vehicle. The antenna receives a signal from a remote signaling device and communicates a signal to an accessory or system of the vehicle, such as a door locking/unlocking system of the vehicle, a lighting system of the vehicle, an ignition system of the vehicle, and/or the like. The antenna may function to receive the signal and automatically communicate a signal to the accessory or system of the vehicle in response to a remote signaling device approaching the door handle assembly. The antenna is preferably positioned within a cavity of the door handle portion and, more preferably, the handle portion is molded at least substantially around the antenna.
