An actuation system used to actuate two buttons on a remote control device, such as a key fob, based upon commands that are generated from a mobile device. The actuation system includes an outer housing that defines an isolation enclosure. The actuation system includes a support frame that allows the vertical position of the button actuator to be manually adjusted. The lateral and longitudinal position of the actuator can also be manually adjusted, as can the distance between a pair of actuator tips. The controller receives the command signals from the mobile device and converts the command signals into actuation commands that are used to activate a servo motor to move the one of two actuation tips into contact with one of the buttons of the key fob. The system includes a RF receiver and transmitter to communicate a vehicle command signal for receipt by the vehicle.

An actuation system used to actuate one or more buttons on a remote control device, such as a key fob, based upon commands that are generated from a mobile device. The actuation system includes a key fob enclosure located remotely from the vehicle. When a command is received on the mobile device, the command is relayed to a controller within the key fob enclosure, causing a button on the key fob to be depressed. The RF signal from the key fob is translated into a digital message which is relayed to a proxy remote located within the vehicle. The proxy remote, in turn, translates the digital message to an RF signal which is transmitted and received by systems within the vehicle. In this manner, the proxy remote is able to communicate using RF signals with the vehicle without requiring the key fob to be located near the vehicle.

An actuation system used to actuate one or more buttons on a remote control device, such as a key fob of a vehicle, based upon commands generated from a mobile device, such as a smartphone. The actuation system includes a key fob drawer that defines an isolation enclosure that prevents RF signals from entering into or leaving the isolation enclosure. A controller receives the command signals from the mobile device and converts the command signals into position commands that are used to activate a button actuator to move a plunger into alignment with one of the buttons on the key fob. The button actuator moves the plunger into contact with one of the buttons which generates an RF signal from the key fob. The key fob is contained in the isolation enclosure and the system includes a RF receiver and transmitter to re-transmit vehicle command signal for receipt by the vehicle.

A self-powered wireless fuse switch is disclosed that is a plug-in replacement for a fuse found in the electrical system of vehicles. The self -powered wireless fuse adds remote- controlled switching capabilities for short and long-range control of power to subsystems of a vehicle electrical system. The wireless fuse switch includes a wireless control module having an internal power supply and an internal transceiver that receives commands from a remote control unit. A separate fuse module includes an outer housing and fuse blades that extend from the outer housing and interface with a fuse socket of the vehicle to selectively allow or interrupt power from the vehicle to the subsystem of the vehicle electrical system. The fuse module includes a fusible link, a relay controller and a relay in the outer housing. The fuse module receives power from and communicates with the wireless control module.

WIRELESSLY CONTROLLED VEHICLE HOOD LATCH LOCK SYSTEM
A wirelessly-controlled vehicle hood latch lock system which can be operated by a control device. The system includes latch control module cable installed in place of the factory hood latch release cable to control the hood release action conditional upon control signals from the control device. A latch control switch sends signals to the wireless latch control module when the factory hood latch release lever is operated. The wireless latch control module allows the transfer of movement from the factory cable to the module cable only upon receipt of an enable signal. In an alternate embodiment, a latch lock motor moves a cable jam block to lock or unlock a moveable pulley and an internal pull cable output bracket. Depending upon the position of the jam block, pulling the latch release lever will either open the hood latch or the movement of the factory cable will not be transferred to the module cable.

An actuation system used to actuate one or more buttons on a remote control device, such as a key fob, based upon commands that are generated from a mobile device. The actuation system includes an isolation enclosure that prevents RF signals from entering into or leaving an open interior of the enclosure. The enclosure surrounds a controller, a button actuator and the remote control device. The controller receives the command signals from the mobile device and converts the command signals into position commands that are used to activate the button actuator to move the plunger into alignment with one of the buttons on the key fob. The button actuator moves the plunger into contact with one of the buttons which generates an RF signal from the key fob. The controller utilizes a transmitting antenna to communicate a vehicle command signal out of the isolation enclosure for receipt by the vehicle.

Remote control button actuation module, system, and method
A device that can house a remote control for activating or controlling one or more features or functions of a vehicle. The device securely holds the remote control and upon reception of a command, operates to control a boom, actuator and pin such that the pin is moved over a particular button of the remote control, and then pressed for a requested period of time. A serious of commands or complex commands can result in causing multiple pressing patterns of the various buttons of the remote control. Thus, the features or functions of the vehicle can be activated remotely.
