Abstract

A vehicle equipment remote control system includes an electronic control unit that controls the transmission from vehicle exterior transmitters and a vehicle interior transmitter such that, when one of switchover intention detection means detects a vehicle user's intention to switch over a door between a locked state and an unlocked state, among the vehicle exterior transmitters, the vehicle exterior transmitter on the side where the switchover intention detection means that has detected the switchover intention is located transmits a request signal requesting reply data, and a prohibition signal is transmitted from at least one of the remaining vehicle exterior transmitter and the vehicle interior transmitter to prohibit the transmission of reply data from the portable transceiver, the prohibition signal being at a low output level that cannot be received by the portable transceiver that is present on the side where the switchover intention detection means that has detected the switchover intention is located.
