Abstract
A power seating system includes a selector, a transmitter, a receiver, a controller and a seat function circuit. The selector has a plurality of user-actuated switches configured to generate one or more command signals for adjusting a position of a vehicle seat throughout its range of motion. The selector is disposed in a passenger compartment of the vehicle away from a seat assembly having the receiver, controller, and seat function circuit. The transmitter has an input for receiving the command signals and an output for transmitting electromagnetic radiation signals corresponding to the command signals. The receiver receives the generated electromagnetic radiation signals and reproduces the command signals. The controller generates control signals according to the reproduced command signals. The seat function circuit includes an adjusting circuit arranged to adjust the position of the seat according to the control signals. Wireless remote control eliminates the need for a wiring harness connecting the selector with the seat assembly.
