Re: Certification for Continental Transceiver FCC ID: M3N-40821703 IC: 7812A-40821703 REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIALITY Pursuant to FCC 47 CRF 0.457(d) and 0.459 and IC RSP-100, Section 10, Continental requests that a part of the subject application be held confidential. Continental has spent substantial effort in developing this product and it is one of the first of its kind in industry. Having the subject information easily available to "competition" would negate the advantage they have achieved by developing this product. Not protecting the details of the design will result in financial hardship.

Block Diagram includes internal oscillator frequency information that the manufacturer considers to be proprietary. Permanent Confidentiality: Continental requests the exhibits listed above as permanently confidential be permanently withheld from public review. Short-Term Confidentiality (FCC Only): Continental requests the exhibits selected above as short term confidential be withheld from public view for a period of 45 days from the date of the Grant of Equipment Authorization and prior to marketing.

RF Hub Description of Operation The RF Hub is an integrated receiver (basestation) in the vehicle that interfaces with the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) FOBIK using both RF and LF. The RF Hub contains the controlling logic for the Passive Entry Keyless Go (PEKG) feature, Electronic Steering Column Lock (ESCL) module (if so equipped) and the Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) lighting. The RF Hub communicates on the CAN C vehicle communication bus and on a dedicated KIN line with the KIN. The RF HUB also interfaces with the vehicle’s door handles, trunk/Liftgate (as equipped) and multiple LF antennas for purposes of providing PEKG functionality. The RF- HUB module provides the following functions : 1. Vehicle Ignition status via the CAN bus 2. Chrysler Key FOB Validation and Vehicle Immobilization 3. Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) including remote start 4. ESCL (Electronic Security Column Lock) control 5. Passive authentication for entry 6. Passive authentication for operation The Passive authentication starts when the ignition switch is pressed or when as the user's hand approaches the unlocking switch (IGN, Door handle or Trunk handle) then the LF communication is activated at 125kHz between the RF – HUB module and the Chrysler Key FOB, after this if the FOB is located within a defined, controller and limited range of the request switch, this transmit the CID information at 315 MHz or 433 MHZ to the RF – HUB and if the authentication is correct the module shall grant entry or start the vehicle. The RKE and TPM functions are performed via RF (315 MHz / 433 MHZ) communications between the Chrysler Key FOB and the RF - HUB, or the TPM sensor and the RF - HUB. RKE activation requests are sent over the CAN C bus to the BCM. TPM data is sent over the CAN C bus the display modules (cluster or overhead console). The RF - HUB provides a switched battery source to the ESCL actuator (lock and unlock steering column) when the conditions are meet. This output is only required for vehicles equipped with manual transmissions and those vehicles built to meet THATCHAM requirements. The RF – HUB communicates with the ESCL module over the LIN bus. The RF Hub shall drive the ESCL motor to the LOCK position when the Ignition is in Off status (and Gated park is valid). The RFHub has a high side output denoted “Ignition Run/Start” which is asserted whenever the Ignition Switch Status is in the “IGN_RUN” or “IGN_CRANK” states (as reported by the CAN-C signal VehStartCustIgn_IgnitionPosition). The only consumer of this signal is the CBC.

Liepa Report Approved by:__________________________ Valdis V. Liepa Test report written by: Joseph D. Brunett Research Scientist Summary Tests for compliance with FCC Regulations, CFR 47, Part 15 and with Industry Canada RSS-210/Gen, were performed on a Continental, FCC ID: M3N -40821703, IC: 7812A-40821703. This device under test (DUT) is subject to the rules and regulations as a Transceiver. In testing completed on November 10, 2010, the DUT tested met the allowed specifications for intentional radiated emissions by 28.4 dB. Conducted emissions are not subject to regulation as the DUT is powered by a 12 VDC battery. Receiver unintentional emissions are reported in a separate test report.

Introduction This Continental Transceiver was tested for compliance with FCC Regulations, Part 15, adopted under Docket 87-389, April 18, 1989 as subsequently amended, and with Industry Canada RSS-210/Gen, Issue 7, June 2007. Tests were performed at the University of Michigan Radiation Laboratory Willow Run Test Range following the procedures described in ANSI C63.4-2003 "Methods of Measurement of Radio- Noise Emissions from Low-Voltage Electrical and Electronic Equipment in the Range of 9 kHz to 40 GHz". The Site description and attenuation characteristics of the Open Site facility are on file with FCC Laboratory, Columbia, Maryland (FCC Reg. No: 91050) and with Industry Canada, Ottawa, ON (File Ref. No: IC 2057A-1). 2. Equipment Used The test equipment commonly used in our facility is listed in Table 2.1.
