Electronic control for vehicle devices

A system, comprising:

• a secondary vehicle device;
• and
• a controller connected to the secondary vehicle device, wherein the controller comprises:
• at least one processor;
• a communication interface communicatively coupled to the at least one processor;
• and
• memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the controller to:
• receive, via the communication interface and from a user interface, a first command;
• based on the first command, send one or more first signals configured to control a primary vehicle device;
• receive, from the user interface, an input sequence;
• compare the input sequence to a predetermined sequence;
• based on the input sequence matching the predetermined sequence, activate a functionality of the controller to control the secondary vehicle device;
• and
• based on activation of the functionality of the controller to control the secondary vehicle device, perform one or more operations to control the secondary vehicle device.

A controller associated with vehicle devices, the controller comprising:

• at least one processor;
• a communication interface communicatively coupled to the at least one processor;
• and
• memory storing computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the controller to:
• receive, via the communication interface and from a user interface, a first command;
• based on the first command, send one or more first signals configured to control a first vehicle device;
• receive, from the user interface, an input sequence;
• compare the input sequence to a predetermined sequence;
• based on the input sequence matching the predetermined sequence, activate a functionality of the controller to control at least one powered running board, wherein the first vehicle device comprises a vehicle device different from the at least one powered running board;
• and
• based on activation of the functionality of the controller to control the at least one powered running board, perform one or more operations to control the at least one powered running board.
