Vehicular function controller having alterable function designators.

摘要: Appparatus attached to a steering wheel (10) of vehicle, which causes the display menu facilitating activation number vehicular control functions, and designated functions be performed upon closure associated pushbutton switches (16a-16l). The microprocessor (38) also values stored in non-volatile memory (50) signals sent by transmitter (52) receiver (64) fixed portion automobile body. transmitter/receiver pair can optical, inductive, or Hall effect sensors. These functional are converted back electrical where they passed signal distributor (70). reinterprets passes them units controlled. Power is provided wheel-mounted apparatus through small battery (40) recharged photovoltaic array (74) receiving light from an ignition switch-operated source (72) vehicle.
