摘要： An automotive keyless smart-start assembly 10 for use in an automobile 22 is provided including an automotive engine 18 having an operating condition and a stopped condition. An ignition controller 16, having a locked state and an unlocked state, is in communication with the automotive engine 18. A receptacle bin 20 is mounted to the automobile 22 and is in communication with the ignition controller 16. The receptacle bin 20 is movable between a closed position 34 and an open position 32. A portable electronic transmitter element 12, including a security code 14, communicates the security code 14 to the ignition controller 16 upon being positioned within the receptacle bin 20. The ignition controller 16 verifies the security code 14 and moves to the unlocked state upon verification. The receptacle bin 20 moves to the closed position 34 upon verification. An ignition button 19 is in communication with the ignition controller 16 and signals the ignition controller 16 to move the automotive engine 18 into the operating condition when the ignition controller 16 is in the unlocked state.

摘要： A system and method for receiving signals from a tire pressure monitoring (TPM) system, a remote keyless entry (RKE) system, and a passive entry system in a manner that reduces the occurrence of signal interference includes transmitting at least a first signal to a receiver on the vehicle. The receiver is configured to have multiple channels for receiving the TPM signal, the RKE signal and/or the passive entry signal. The method also includes receiving the first signal on a first receiver channel. The method further includes selecting a second receiver channel for receiving at least a second signal when the second signal is or will be generated.

摘要： A remote control system and a method of control. The system includes a control module that facilitates execution of a set of functions, a remote control device that wirelessly communicates with the control module, and an input signal. The input signal is provided to the control module and includes data that is associated with ambient lighting. Polling of the remote control device by the control module is deactivated for a subset of the set of functions when the data is indicative of sufficient ambient lighting.
