Abstract
An enhanced vehicle remote control system adds a new transmitter and a new receiver to an original remote control system. The new receiver is connected for direct operation of the original transmitter which is permanently installed in the vehicle. In response to signals from the original transmitter, the unmodified original receiver controls the same functions in the same way as before. The new receiver is also connected to control functions in the vehicle which were not controlled by the original remote control system.
