The wireless control system comprises a circuit assembly. The circuit assembly comprises a transceiver circuit and an input device in communication with a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to control the transceiver circuit in response to an input received from the input device. The circuit assembly forms a profile shape configured to be significantly disposed within a handle portion of a vehicle. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A wireless control system for controlling a remotely controlled device, the wireless control system comprising: a circuit assembly comprising: a transceiver circuit; an input device; and a control circuit configured to control the transceiver circuit in response to an input received from the input device; and wherein the circuit assembly forms a profile shape configured to be significantly disposed within a handle portion of a vehicle. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The wireless control system according to claim 1, wherein the transceiver circuit and the control circuit are completely disposed within an internal passage formed by the handle portion. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The wireless control system according to claim 1, where the input device is in attachment with the handle portion at least partially outside the internal passage. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The wireless control system according to claim 1, wherein the control circuit is configured to control the transceiver to emit control a signal configured to control the remotely controlled device. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The wireless control system according to claim 1, wherein the control circuit is further configured to: receive a control signal from a remote control device and identify an encoded control code of the control signal. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The wireless control system according to claim 5, wherein the control circuit is configured to control the transceiver to emit the encoded control signal to control the remotely controlled device. ### Claim 7 A wireless control apparatus for controlling a remotely controlled device comprising: a circuit assembly having a profile shape configured to be disposed in an internal passage of a handle of a vehicle, the circuit assembly comprising: a transmitter circuit; a communication interface; and a control circuit configured to control the transmitter circuit in response to an input received from an input device; and the input device exposed from the internal passage and in communication with the control circuit via the communication interface. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The wireless control apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the input device comprise at least one input interface configured to receive a user input. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The wireless control apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the input device is configured to connect to an outer diameter of the handle. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The wireless control apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the handle comprises a grip for operating the vehicle comprising an inboard portion and an outboard portion. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The wireless control apparatus according to claim 10, wherein the input device is configured to connect to the inboard portion of the handle. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The wireless control apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the handle comprises grip disposed on the handle extending substantially from the outboard portion to the inboard portion. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The wireless control apparatus according to claim 12, wherein the grip is configured to conceal the communication interface. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The wireless control apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the profile shape of the circuit assembly is configured to be disposed in the internal passage via an opening of the handle proximate the outboard portion. ### Claim 15 A wireless control apparatus configured to connect to a handle of a vehicle and for controlling a remotely controlled device, the apparatus comprising: a circuit assembly having a profile shape configured to be disposed in an internal passage of the handle, the circuit assembly comprising: a transmitter circuit; a communication interface; and a control circuit configured to control the transmitter circuit in response to an input received from an input device; and the input device exposed from the internal passage and in communication with the control circuit via the communication interface. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The wireless control apparatus according to claim 15, wherein the handle comprises a proximal portion and a distal portion. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The wireless control apparatus according to claim 16, wherein the profile shape of the circuit assembly is configured to be disposed in the internal passage via an opening formed by the handle proximate the distal portion. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The wireless control apparatus according to claim 17, wherein the input device forms a cap portion in connection with the opening. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The wireless control apparatus according to claim 18, wherein the cap portion is configured to engage the opening and seal the internal passage from an outside environment. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The wireless control apparatus according to claim 15, wherein the input device comprises a first user input and a second user input configured to cause the control circuit to activate a control signal configured to control the remotely controlled device.
