The instant invention utilizes a programmable circuit which has a 186EM Micro
controller therein to operate a circuit which integrates peripherals such as a
memory controller, a programmable input and output, a timer and serial controller
to increase system functionality and lower cost. The entire CPU circuit is mounted
in a vehicle near the steering wheel where the key fob of the particular driver
can be inserted for driver identification. There is an electronic box mounted forward
of the firewall that contains the module specific for the brand of vehicle. The
CPU module is wired to the under the hood box and a connection to that wiring in
the back of the dash mounting holder. The holder guides the CPU module into the
connector as the CPU module is inserted into the holder. The programmable unit
is contained in a module which controls the speed of the vehicle and the memory
function of the module itself. The unit is essentially a hand-held computer that
is an integrated, low-voltage, single chip implementation of a high-performance
16 bit, x86 compatible microprocessor with the extra logic needed for PC/AT-compatible
PCs. It has an AM 386 CPU core with a memory control unit, ISA bus controller and
peripheral control logic.
