A retrofittable remote control system (200) is provided for enabling remote controlling of an on-board component (126) of machine (100) that is inherently incapable of being remote controlled. An interface control module (202) is retrofitted on machine (100) and is configured to communicate with off-board remote control (204) over wireless communication channel (206). The interface control module (202) detects presence of an on-board control module (152) that communicates with the on-board component (126) over a digital communication channel (144). The interface control module (202) is configured to then establish either a digital communication link with the on-board control module (152) or a direct Input / Output (I/O) communication link (146) with the on-board component (126) of the machine (100) based on the detection. The interface control module (202) is configured to send a control signal over either the direct I/O communication link (146) or the digital communication channel (144) via the detected on-board control module (152), for controlling the on-board component (126).
