Abstract
A vehicle security system for securing a vehicle against theft, the system comprising, a driving function disablement component configured to bias against a moveable vehicle component, thereby to disable a driving function when biased, a remotely operable transducer configured to maintain or release biasing in the driving function disablement component, and a wireless handheld transceiver configured to transmit a wireless drive-activating signal to operate the transducer.
Claims23
A vehicle security system for securing a vehicle against theft, the system comprising:
- a) a driving function disablement component configured to bias against a moveable vehicle component, thereby to disable a driving function when biased;
- c) a remotely operable transducer configured to maintain or release biasing in said driving function disablement component;
- and
- d) a wireless handheld transceiver configured to transmit a wireless drive-activating signal to operate said transducer, wherein said transducer includes a timing sensor configured to sense a fixed period of time in the absence of vehicle movement and release of said biasing against said moveable component and, following said period of time, reinduce said biasing.
A vehicle security system for securing a vehicle against theft, the system comprising:
- a) a driving function disablement component configured to bias against a moveable vehicle component, thereby to disable a driving function when biased;
- c) a remotely operable transducer configured to maintain or release biasing in said driving function disablement component;
- and
- d) a wireless handheld transceiver configured to transmit a wireless drive-activating signal to operate said transducer wherein said wireless handheld transceiver, said wireless drive transceiver and said immobilizer include programmable memory components configured to be programmed with unique codes such that:
- a) said handheld transceiver wirelessly transmits a first code and a second code;
- b) said wireless drive transceiver receives and recognizes said wirelessly transmitted first code and releases said biased disablement component;
- and
- c) said immobilizer receives and recognizes said transmitted second code and enables said vehicle component.
A method of temporarily disabling and re-enabling a vehicle, comprising:
- fitting a biasable locking component over a driving component,
- locking said biasable locking component in a biased position to disable said driving component;
- remotely transmitting a first signal to operate an immobilizer to prevent operation of a vehicle engine;
- remotely transmitting a second signal to disable said immobilizer to re-enable operation of said vehicle engine;
- and
- remotely transmitting a third signal to unlock said biasable locking component to re-enable said driving component;
- wherein said method comprising issuing each of said first, second and third signal respectively from a single remote controller.
