A remote control system may be for a vehicle including a data communications bus and connecting vehicle devices. The vehicle devices may be operable with a set of vehicle device codes from among different sets thereof for different vehicles. A vehicle controller may be responsive to the remote transmitter and may include a controller data link interface. A data bus adaptor may store the set of vehicle device codes and include an adaptor data link interface cooperating with the controller data link interface to provide a communication link for adapting the vehicle controller to communicate with a vehicle device via the data communications bus. The data bus adaptor may be operable based upon a set of adaptor codes from among different sets thereof. The vehicle controller may include an adaptor code determining circuit for determining the set of adaptor codes based upon communication with the data bus adaptor.
A remote control system for a vehicle of a type including a data communications bus extending throughout the vehicle and connecting a plurality of vehicle devices within the vehicle, the vehicle devices operable with a given set of vehicle device codes from among a plurality of different sets of vehicle device codes for different vehicles, the remote control system comprising:
A vehicle controller for a remote control system comprising a data bus adaptor having stored therein a given set of vehicle device codes for operating a plurality of vehicle devices and comprising an adaptor data link interface for adapting the vehicle controller to communicate with at least one vehicle device via a data communications bus extending throughout a vehicle, the data bus adaptor being operable based upon a given set of adaptor codes from among a plurality of different sets of adaptor codes for different adaptors, the vehicle controller comprising:
A method of using a remote control system for a vehicle of a type including a data communications bus extending throughout the vehicle and connecting a plurality of vehicle devices within the vehicle, the vehicle devices operable with a given set of vehicle device codes from among a plurality of different sets of vehicle device codes for different vehicles, the remote control system comprising a vehicle controller being responsive to a remote transmitter and comprising a controller data link interface, a data bus adaptor having stored therein the given set of vehicle device codes and comprising an adaptor data link interface cooperating with the controller data link interface to provide a communication link for adapting the vehicle controller to communicate with at least one vehicle device via the data communications bus, the data bus adaptor being operable based upon a given set of adaptor codes from among a plurality of different sets of adaptor codes for different adaptors, the vehicle controller comprising an adaptor code determining circuit, the method comprising:
