Steering column module

1. A steering column connected to a vehicle electronic system having an electronic jack and a vehicle steering mechanism for a motor vehicle comprising:

a steering wheel;

a clock spring in electronic communication with said steering wheel, said clock spring comprising a first electronic connector for communication with said vehicle electronic system;

an electronic conduit comprising a first end and a second end for providing electronic communication from said clock spring to said vehicle electronic system;

a second electronic connector including a plug having at least one pin and located at said first end of said electronic conduit to thereby connect with the electronic jack upon assembly within said vehicle; and

a third electronic connector at said second end of said electronic conduit in connection with said first electronic connector of said clock spring;

wherein electronic communication throughout the steering column is established by connection of said electronic conduit to said vehicle electronic system; and

wherein said steering column further comprises a rocker mount proximate said steering mechanism, whereby said system electronic jack is fixed on said rocker mount to facilitate electronic communication with said steering column while adjusting the tilt of said steering column.

2. The steering column of claim 1 wherein said column further comprises:

at least one auxiliary electronic connector radially positioned about said electronic conduit;

at least one component in electronic communication with said at least one auxiliary electronic connector; and

a docking site about said at least one auxiliary electronic connector for seating said at least one component against said electronic conduit.

3. The steering column of claim 1 further comprising:

a plurality of auxiliary electronic connectors on said electronic conduit, each auxiliary electronic connector radially positioned about said electronic conduit;

a plurality of components in electronic communication with said plurality of auxiliary electronic connectors, each of said components corresponding to a respective auxiliary electronic connector; and

a plurality of docking sites, each of said docking sites arranged about and corresponding to a respective one of said plurality of auxiliary electronic connectors, each of said docking sites employed to seat a corresponding one of said plurality of components,

wherein docking said plurality of components against said electronic conduit establishes electronic communication between said plurality of components and said vehicle electronic system.

4. The steering column of claim 2 wherein said at least one auxiliary electronic connector is formed from a first set of electronic frets and said at least one component is formed with a second set of electronic frets whereby upon docking said at least one auxiliary electronic connector against said component, said first set of electronic frets and said second set of electronic frets are mated together thereby facilitating electronic communication between said component and said vehicle electronic system.

5. The steering column of claim 2 wherein said at least one auxiliary electronic connector is formed from an electronic jack and said at least one component is formed with a plug comprising at least one pin, whereby upon docking said at least one auxiliary electronic connector against said component, said plug is mated with said electronic jack thereby facilitating electronic communication between said component and said vehicle electronic system.

6. The steering column of claim 1 wherein said electronic conduit is formed with copper traces.

7. The steering column of claim 2 wherein said docking site comprises a jacket extending from said at least one auxiliary electronic connector and said component is fixed at least partially through said jacket and against said at least one auxiliary electronic connector.
