Vehicle entry transmitter with conformable switch tip

The present invention provides an improved vehicle entry transmitter that can be used as a transmitter to lock and unlock vehicle doors, turn an alarm on and off, and/or disable and enable the vehicle. The present invention provides a vehicle entry transmitter that uses a contact switch/probe tip combination (referred to a "switch tip" in this application). When the switch tip is pressed against a vehicle the switch is activated and the vehicle entry transmitter sends a control signal through the switch tip and into the vehicle, where it can be picked up by a receiver. The receiver can then lock/unlock vehicle doors, turn an alarm on/off, and/or disable/enable the vehicle. In the preferred embodiment, the switch tip comprises a conformable and conductive material. When the switch tip is pressed against a vehicle, the conformable and conductive material deforms until the contact switch is activated, causing a control signal to be propagated through the conformable and conductive tip and into the vehicle.
