  • Patent number: 5608272
    Abstract: An anti-theft alarm system for attended and unattended vehicles enabled by a remotely carried inviolable electronic chip that is read by a voltage supplying receiver. In the unattended mode, the system operates like a conventional alarm system capable of disabling an electronically based vehicle. In an attended mode, the operator can activate the system by brake pedal depression followed by opening of the door within a predetermined time. Upon this sequence of events, the system will allow the vehicle to operate for about 60 seconds allowing the victim to get out of harms way before the vehicle becomes disabled and initiates an alarm sequence. In this mode the only method of restarting the vehicle is by use of a by-pass switch which is easily hidden and known only to the vehicle owner. The system further provides a controller chip for use in all fleet vehicles which lock or unlock the access of the vehicle and a master chip giving access to any vehicle of the fleet.
