Patent number: 7952226Abstract: A system and method for controlling the radio frequency emissions of a proximity remote keyless system for permitting or denying remote access to premises of a vehicle. The source power is controlled to thereby control when the vehicle is authorized to start. The proximity remote can thus be left in the vehicle and controlled by another external source. The device of the invention is adapted to be inserted between a battery, which powers the proximity remote, and insulates the battery from an associated battery base contact. The device comprises a conductive contact on opposite sides of an insulating plate and at least one wire connected to each conductive contact. The wires can be connected to an external device, thus allowing external electrical or mechanical control of the proximity remote, with the proximity remote being only able to transmit to the vehicle if the battery is connected to the battery base contact.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2008Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Assignee: Fortin Auto Radio Inc.Inventors: Martin Tessier, Patrick Noel, Jean-Pierre Aubertin, Cristinel Zaharia, Duc Mihn Cong Nguyen, Darren Victor Satkunas
