Claim:
1. A system for remotely actuating a subsystem in a vehicle comprising: a receiver operable associated with a vehicle system; and a transmitter which is configured to transmit a control signal readable by the receiver, the transmitter having an associated processor which is configured to allow the transmitter to transmit the control signal to the receiver a predetermined number of times at a first predetermined power level and having a first predetermined delay between transmissions of the control signal, wherein the system comprises a power evaluation module configured to determine a charge state of a battery associated with the transmitter, the power evaluation module being configured to produce a signal indicative of the charge state of the battery associated with the transmitter and change the output of the transmitter from the first predetermined power level to a second predetermined power level in response to the signal indicative of the charge state of the battery, and change an interval between transmission of the control signal readable by the receiver is can be set as a function of battery charge state; wherein the processor is configured to change the delay between transmissions of the control signal of the transmitter from the first predetermined delay between transmissions of the control signal to a second predetermined delay between transmissions of the control signal in response to the signal indicative of the charge state of the battery, and the transmitter is configured to recursively transmit the control signal for a predetermined amount of time at predetermined intervals.
