1. A wireless control system for a vehicle comprising:
- a controller provided in a vehicle for controlling a vehicle component in response to a first signal transmitted from a first handheld wireless transmitter; and
a transceiver provided in the vehicle for receiving a second signal from a second handheld wireless transmitter, the second signal differing from the first signal;
wherein the transceiver is configured to transmit a third signal to the controller in response to the second signal, the third signal emulating at least a portion of the first signal.

15. A method of controlling a vehicle system comprising:
-
receiving a first signal from a first handheld wireless transmitter; and in response to the first signal, transmitting a second signal to a controller configured to operate a vehicle system in response to the second signal, the second signal being different from the first signal and emulating at least a portion of a third signal; whereby the first wireless transmitter may be used to operate the vehicle system without directly transmitting the second signal to the controller. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. A method of programming a vehicle keyless entry system to operate in response to signals received from multiple handheld wireless transmitters, the method comprising:
-
receiving a first signal from a first handheld wireless transmitter at a transceiver, the first signal configured to cause a controller to actuate vehicle door locks; storing at least a portion of the first signal as an emulation signal; receiving a second signal from a second handheld wireless transmitter at the transceiver, the second signal being different from the first signal; and associating the second signal with the emulation signal such that upon receipt of the second signal, the transceiver transmits the emulation signal to the controller to cause the controller to actuate the vehicle door locks. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
