1. An apparatus for supporting communication between a mobile computing device and an electronic component operable within a remote control vehicle, said apparatus comprising:

  • a first analog input interface coupleable to a first analog output of a mobile computing device;

    a first analog output interface coupleable to a first analog input of said mobile computing device;

    a bidirectional wired bus interface coupleable to an electronic component, wherein said electronic component is operable within a remote control vehicle;

    a wired cable coupled to said first analog input interface and to said first analog output interface, wherein said wired cable terminates in at least one audio jack connector comprising a tip, a ring, and a sleeve; and

    a microprocessor coupled to said first analog input interface, said first analog output interface, and said bidirectional wired bus interface, wherein said microprocessor is configured in a first mode to;

    (A) decode a first set of digital symbols received from said first analog input interface, thereby resulting in first digital data that includes parameters associated with said electronic component;

    (B) store said first digital data,(C) encode said first digital data in a format compatible with said bidirectional wired bus interface,(D) decode information received from said bidirectional wired bus interface to produce second digital data, and(E) encode a second set of digital symbols representing said second digital data for transmission on said first analog output interface.
