Abstract
A vehicle mounted remote transaction interface system for communicating with a remote transaction unit for transactions such as a bank transaction with a bank teller unit or a drive-through point-of-sale transaction with a drive-through point-of-sale system for the purchase of food, beverages or other goods. The interface system includes a transmitter and an input device. The transmitter is mounted to one of a vehicle cabin and a vehicular rearview mirror assembly. The input device is in communication with the transmitter and provides input to the transmitter which modulates the signals from the input device and transmits the modulated signal for communicating with the remote transaction unit in order to engage in a transaction such as with a remote bank teller unit or machine. Preferably, the input device is adapted to mount in the vehicle and to be accessible by an occupant of the vehicle. The input device may, for example, include one or more buttons, a display area, and/or credit/debit card reader. Preferably, the display area displays indicia such as a menu of options which may be selected by the buttons.
