20. A method for remotely programming a vehicle control system via a remote programmer, the vehicle control system comprising an interface module for interfacing with an electronic input and output device of a vehicle, and a feature set module for detachably coupling to said interface module, wherein said feature set module comprises codes for defining a feature set of electronically operable functions to operate the electronic input and output devices, comprising the steps of:
-
determining, at the remote programmer, a code to be transmitted to the interface module for programming, wherein the code to be transmitted is associated with a function in the feature set of electronically operable functions; and
transmitting, to the interface module, the code for programming the function of the feature set of electronically operable functions;
receiving, at the interface module, the code for programming the function of the feature set of electronically operable functions; and
executing, at the interface module, the code for programming the function of the feature set of electronically operable functions. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
